I have tried quite a few different ergonomic keyboard layouts, but end up returning to QUERTY because of keybindings and Ctrl+… commands in programs. Also, i have always thought that keyboards evolved to dump lots of keys at the right side of the keyboard, making me have to rotate my right wrist clockwise to reach important keys like Enter and backspace.

So i made this naive layout, which is basically QWERTY, but with the Y~P keys shifted two columns rightwards.

I am getting used to it, and will probably regret in a few days and get back into plain QWERTY like every time.

Expect typos.

[Another idea i had is to shift the letter keys one row up, and move the row of number keys to the row above space, so my palmtree-sized hands can rest more comfortably whyle writing text.]

I was seeing this yewtube video showcasing SGI Irix's 3D demos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqcc2lm0L9Q

And when i spotted those sharks on the aquarium demo, i immediately recognized them: they are the same (or so i think, they are very similar) 3D model used in the desktop cube aquarium for the Compiz Fusion window manager.

Here's a screenshot of my desktop from 2009 or 2010. At that time, i was using Ubuntu with the Compiz Fusion compositing window manager. I was using the desktop cube with the aquarium plugin (i think it was called “atlantis”, from what i could search on the webz). The aquarium features fishes and crabs and algae while rotating the cube to change the current desktop.

“Sirocco's preference for head-mating and resistance to massage techniques has made it difficult to collect his semen. Scientists who work with him designed an "ejaculation helmet" for volunteers to wear while he attempted to mate with their heads.”
