Eighty days ago I started a programming project which is due in a few weeks. In order meet this deadline; I have been at this workstation on average 17 hours a day, seven days a week ever since.
Before starting, knowing what I getting into, I took some care in setting up some very intentional user input devices to test out in a full grind mode situation.
At VCFMW last fall, I picked up a NOS ps2 MS Intellimouse (ball mouse with a wheel).
I removed the original (black ALPS) switches from a vintage Dell AT101W keyaboard. I replaced them with newly manufactured white ALPS clone switches (from Matias).
After >1360 hours of non-stop typing work, I give this combo full marks!

I've noticed we've got a few bonafide solar punks on this station, so I thought I would share some music I wrote to capture the feeling of getting out there and doing it for real.
You all are great.
I was pretty sure the internet was over, but here you are. Thank you all for taking the time to post logs.Writting music can be a very isolating activity.
Now that Subsurface Vol 1 has been published, taking a break to read all of these little posts about your lives has been perfect medicine. Knowing you are all out there experiencing small victories, setbacks, worries, and connections is a good feeling.
I finished an album today. I posted it at https://tymkrs.bandcamp.com/album/subsurface-volume-1
If you find this and listen, let me know what you think about it.
