This thing is so dumb. I love it.

Wrote my latest blog post on it and did the html wrangling and ssh-ery necessary to get it online.

I've done a bit of writing with it on breaks at work this week as well. Definitely nicer to use than my phone with a Bluetooth keyboard, which is how I've been doing things while away from home up to this point.

Screen's too small for distractions. Trackball is too bad to make web browsing anything other than a chore. It can still do everything if necessary but it's only *good* for editing text (inc. code), so I can be quite productive in short bursts and then just throw it in my bag. Get my laptop out for a bit once the little guy is in bed.

I'm waiting on the electronic parts from AliExpress, but I finished 3D printing the case for a Micro Journal 5.1 #writerdeck. Like the BYOK it's meant to go with a USB or Bluetooth keyboard, but it runs on an ESP32 board and has this nifty clamshell case.

BYOK Review

A “cyberdeck” is a custom-built portable computer, usually based around a Raspberry Pi or other single-board computer (SBC). Some are mounted inside heavy-duty cases for the apocalypse, others are rough assemblages of parts. Cases often come out of a 3D printer, and keyboards are variously spare parts for cellphones, small
