Since my iPad has basically been turned into my daughter’s, I’ve lost my “away from the computer, dedicated typing/thinking” computer.

I could buy another iPad but that’s not as fun as building that micro journal thing. Plus it’ll run Linux and basically do anything. Although it won’t do DayOne…well not without some song and dance. Of course I could just type on it and then use my phone to copy what I type later. As DayOne journaling has dramatically failed in recent months.

Well I’ll occupy myself this evening making a parts list and adding up how much it would be.

After spending ages looking at that micro journal thing…I don’t want it. I don’t like ortholinear keyboards and it ends up being quite expensive for a weird device.

I looked at the rpi 500 and pi monitor but as soon as I read reviews I was annoyed. Mostly how they didn’t add pci-e yet had space and tracks for it. (Someone modded it already but the mod is hard). So seems dumb.

What I really want is my iPad and the Smart Keyboard. I really liked that keyboard. Maybe I should get an iPad…not sure they make that keyboard anymore or which iPad uses it. Anyway bedtime now.

Start of the Christmas holidays for everyone.
