Retrospective on the birb drawing "Monospace Gull"

2025-01-14 by thejikz

But in all seriousness, protect monospaces.

This is a retro to the birb I made for testing monospace drawing. The birb below is the first sketch from a line drawing I stared on a tablet. A stenkchez helped me on the shaping after I described the desired. tI then transfered it to inkscape to make a quick vector for clarity. This took like 20 minutes, and I uploaded, genned out this first rip of plus signs, then started "modelling" so to speak.

bit 11 - Publishing from What? 何!？

A small bit of what is possible with a tablet, keyboard, mouse, and a magic combination of USB 3 and bluetooth.

2025-01-04 by thejikz

I am publishing from a tablet using a monitor, mouse and keyboard at this time. Devices are of separate ventures at times where I was gaming, new at office job stuff, ran a business, and was just really into tech thingies.

The Devices:

  • Samsung SM-T540 (Galaxy Tab Active Pro)
  • Logitech G513 Carbon (Tactile)
  • Logitech MX Master 2S (Bluetooth Capable)
  • Dell 27" Flat Panel Display - U2719DC

Your powers combined, I give you... A functional enough publishing workstation!

There was a bonus:

日本語 Character input support figured out!

I was not sure how the switch was going to work, but I am going to be cataloging characters, and want to learn more written Japanese as well.

bit 10 - bit 2? Shit.
