And a couple hours later, I see that a wireless version of the Tern has been created. Looks like I've found my next project. Tern BLE

This is where fractal/fractional dimensions become useful. Living on the surface of the earth puts us in a dimension between 2 and 3, and varies depending on the environment you're living in.

Thank you so much for sharing all that! I've been putting off building a wireless hillside 46(I'm really enjoying my wired one, but the wires are annoying me), and your modifications makes it perfect for me.

That's another tab key for now.

Haha. I might have to move my command/alt/shift/ctrl keys down to the thumb clusters. I mostly like the miryoku layout with them on the home row, but sloppy rolls with A-T or S-T combinations (CMD-T) keep opening new tabs, and I'm getting grumpy. No violence yet. Maybe I can fix that by increasing the time before the hold activates.

Ha! I rarely use them. I also forgot a layer for them until I was reviewing what I had. I also used a minus keycode without the underscore on shift....and editing my keymaps became a bit rough. Yeah, I don't think I'm going to need the duplication, and my right and left thumbs have different resting positions, so I'll probably change things up as I'm finding I only use my right thumb for space and enter.

Haha. I had a stock set of keycaps, which didn't have great options for my layout. I've mostly got the thumb clusters mirrored, with space(the right arrows), enter(enter/heart) and tabs on both sides (and backspace and delete mirrored). Left cluster has ESC, with right cluster having a Function layer switch on hold(the F key). I've got layer switch on hold for several of those thumb keys as well. The vertical thumbkey is not the easiest, which is why I put the tab keys there as I don't use them that often. When I clean my keymaps up I'll share an image. I feel the thumb clusters are larger than ideal for me. The board is setup to allow for Rotary encoders in those vertical thumb positions, and if I can find a suitable low profile knob I may end up swapping for a couple.

I should reread that. I once had and read the first 2 volumes, but never finished the series. It is time.

Hmmm...must have been Flying Nun.

A good friend of mine did a pre-university trip to NZ back in ...1989?...(from Canada) and brought that back on vinyl. Love the song. Was that put out on Tuatara records?

I followed Sandor Katz's approach (start a ginger bug with a cup of water, a tablespoon of sugar, and some grated ginger). It usually takes me a day to get that bubbling away. My recipes are fairly general: ~10-12% sugar solution, with enough roselle (or ginger, or ginger/turmeric, or mint/lemon) to give sufficient flavour. Ginger I usually boil with the water to extract more flavour. Mint and roselle I just steep in the water after bringing it to a boil. I almost always add some lemon, as that always makes it taste better. I rarely measure these amounts (apart from the water & sugar), but tend to go heavy on ginger if I'm using that.

I'm using the wild yeast from the ginger/turmeric. It only takes a day or so to get the "ginger bug" going, and I've never had any issues. Ginger is all local and unprocessed (I'm washing dirt off it), so maybe that makes a difference?
