🎶 17th Century Music Computer.
The arca musarithmica, a machine to allow people with no experience to compose church music, might not fit our usual definition of a computer, but as [Levi] points out in the video below, there are a number of similarities to mechanical computers like slide rules.

👾The computer is a box of wooden cards [tablets] with instructions written on them. Honestly, I don’t know enough about music theory to quite get the algorithm. [Kirker] himself had this to say in his book about the device:👾
„Mechanical music-making is nothing more than a particular system invented by us whereby anyone, even the ἀμουσος [unmusical] may, through various applications of compositional instruments compose melodies according to a desired style. We shall briefly relate how this mechanical music-making is done and, lest we waste time with prefatory remarks, we shall begin with the construction of the Musarithmic Ark.“](https://poliverso.org/photo/preview/640/60294156 "[ImageSource: Levi McClain]

Be Radio torna prepotentemente (anzi no, bussando con delicatezza perché l'educazione è importante) per la sua stagione numero undici!
E quest'anno vogliamo stravolgere tutto, a partire dai nostri inviati che si sono reinventati da capo a piedi.
Sarà un bene? Sarà un male?

Haha ... barely awake when I started my quest ... something possessed me to do a "look up" shot! You can see my wobbles with the tree outlines haha
I'm thinking of getting an ergonomic split keyboard (type: computer, not music) because my current ergonomic keyboard takes up way too much space, & to make it extra wanky I'm thinking mechanical. Needs to work on Linux, Windows & fruit machine 🍏, come in British or International English format, & ship to the EU.
To make it extra super-dooper wanky, I'm fine with putting it together myself so long as it doesn't involve soldering anything.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Actually more comfortable than "normal" keyboards.
I needed something like two-three weeks to get used to my ErgoDash, from a plain QWERTY TKL keyboard, and I'm still hacking and patching the layout through QMK after 2 years. 😇
If you have time to waste, my story with the ErgoDash is here: marcoxbresciani.codeberg.page/…

#PennedPossibilities 796 — Have you had to cut anything significant from your WIP?
Plenty of times! But as I do this for a living, wasted words are wasted work, so I try to get everything right first time round.
(One of my two current WIPs is a problem child, and is now on the third re-write. If I can't stick the landing this time round, it's getting dumped: obviously I was over-ambitious, and the sunk cost fallacy applies.)
