The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

@feather Next moment of honesty... how many of those are pointing at things, and how many do you just refresh each year while thinking, “maybe this year I’ll make that idea I had for this domain” ?

(This question does not suggest a behaviour of my own at all)

@jasperketone Ha ha. Maybe I should just get some sort of application which plays an industrial click/crunch/snap at high volume on every key press.

@FakeLauraLouise Starting to get that sense.

Sounds like I need to stumble into a mechanical keyboard emporium and play with umpteen options and configurations.

@ConnorHolyday @noopkat Totally with you on that. And by thunder, that’s a pretty looking keyboard.

@AndyDavies That’s what I thought. I’m hearing that there are many options with regard to level of click feel and sound.

Which makes me squint in the direction of those LOUD clackety-clackers even more!

The voyage of discovery continues.

@ConnorHolyday Interesting! I’m completely green about this. I should dig around on types and configurations. (And that’s very kind)

Curious - have you tried a few before finding what suits you best?

@chrisdmacrae I find it hard to imagine wanting to move entirely away from some mechanical/tactical aspect... (As I type this on an iPhone!) but the draw of these customisable, retro clacking-clack keyboard still eludes me.

@scottjenson @MsSammieRose Longer travel and louder keypress both seem like a backwards step to me. But so many people whose opinions I respect seem to enjoy them.

Rather hoping that there is some attribute or experience that I’ve overlooked.

Perhaps it’s all just down to personal tastes.

Phil Hawksworth @philhawksworth • January 15th 2020 replying to this from @
@chrisdmacrae This all makes sense. I’ve enjoyed the trend to shorter travel distances on keys. So I’m a little uncertain about the apparent trend back to looooong travels. Feels like more “work” to my mind.

@MsSammieRose I work from home. But even so, that’s something that rather turns me off them (from my limited understanding)

@Benghamine Ha. I’d remember a time when this wouldn’t need to be expressed as a baseline. That’s a few years ago though, I guess.

@feather With regards to the specialism rather than the contract, this makes me think of the excellent @marcysutton.

Who, even if not available, might have thoughts on this.

@sarah_edo @brianarn And I want to start reveal increasingly ridiculous garments by “accidentally” standing up during calls.

(Um... Will this show up in my annual review?)

@sarah_edo @JakeDohm Hmm. Yeah. You make a good point. Ok. I suggest this update to our meeting protocol:

- Always be on time.
- No agenda, no meeting.
- Wardrobe check is item one.
