OK here's a full photo set for my latest keyboard, the short-lived Ficherman 0.1. This was a keyboard used with my automation system at my microfiche scanning job at the internet archive.

(I hate photographing shiny PCBs. They make the autofocus of my camera all confuzeled.)

It's the Ficherman 0.1, by me, this year. "Are the trees moving?" is a Dark Souls reference, because I was watching videos on Dark Souls secrets.

The motto for this keyboard:
Feed a man a fiche, you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fiche, you feed him for a lifetime.

The right side: We've got my version of the jwz saying about regexes, but it's about keyboards now, "Keep circulating the tapes" from MST3k, and a quote from Brewster Kahle, head librarian & founder of the internet archive.

the bottom side. There's basically nothing on this side except rubber feet and the raspi pico.

Don't ask who said this, but EVERYTHING NOT SAVED WILL BE LOST.

It's supposed to say "Trans Rights" here but I put the foot too close so it's says "Trans Righ"

This is true.

This is from a tumblr post I made about how souls and frogs are the same thing. I think I enjoy it far more than anyone else, but this is my keyboard so I can put whatever I want.

This is an Outer Wilds quote. If you haven't played it, don't look up anything about it, go play it. It's a story-driven space exploration game that inherits the mantle of Myst and Riven.

The win95 shutdown message.
(Amusingly, the win95 machine I keep on hand has had its shutdown screen modified to be an outer wilds quote instead of this)

Another quote of my own tumblr posts.

The fact there are two 2s is accurate to the tumblr post, btw.
