I just re-flashed my #MNT #PocketReform keyboard to match the Preonic layout that I've been using for years. My fingers are a little bit confused again, but hopefully less so than they were switching back and forth!
Flashing was easy and worked fine business.

My latest blog post: Hacking an IKEA HÖVOLM into a Helmet Rack
https://mikecoats.com/hovolm-helmet-rack/
I received my first ever 3D printer as a present recently, so I decided to put it to some practical use. I designed some new hooks to hold bike helmets securely on an IKEA HÖVOLM.
rust-query, a library with a better API to query #SQLite databases with #Rust
https://nlnet.nl/project/rust-query/
While that sounds relatively mundane, it's something I'm excited about because Rust really doesn't have as many options as, say, Python, where I just define a model in the code and it automagically generates tables, migrations, and everything in between. Did I say doesn't have options? Well, that was only until now 😉

Universal #EInk Solutions, which aims to provide a consistent API for driving #epaper displays 🖥️
https://nlnet.nl/project/Universal-EInk/
As someone who cannot concentrate for long periods on bright screens and the owner of an e-ink monitor as well as an e-reader, this is something I'm looking forward too as it'll increase hackability and enable the development of more #OpenHardware devices!
(On a related note, I also learnt during the course of the meeting that #Modos is also an NLnet-funded project)

OpenFlexure is an open source laboratory-grade microscope used to diagnose malaria and cancer. In this interview Julian Stirling, one of the core developers, tells us how the project evolved from its academic roots to a diverse community of people who use it, build it, sell it, teach it & develop it.
OpenFlexure is manufactured in many places to build local capacity. The next step is medical device certification, a slow but worthwhile process.
