This is one reason why the shift from a trackpoint mouse to a touchpad wasn't as big a deal as I thought it would be, even though I used to be as die-hard about it as other Thinkpad users. I just don't use the mouse that much in either case.

I imagine folks that do everything from a web browser won't understand, but I can't stress how important keyboard-friendly UI is for speed. It's even more important with typing-heavy apps like chat. Every time my hand moves to a mouse it slows everything way down.

@ajmartinez Shift-Alt-Up/Down to navigate to rooms with recent activity and alt-up/down just to move between rooms in general. Full set of keybindings are in Settings->Preferences in a link you have to click under the "Keyboard shortcuts" header

I just discovered that at some point the Element Matrix client added keybindings to let you switch more easily to rooms with recent activity. This is an incredibly important feature to me (I try to avoid using my mouse) that's going to dramatically improve every work day.

@yaelwrites Of course! It's rusty!

@yaelwrites I'd like to think that I'm constantly adding improvements and bug fixes (and sadly sometimes regressions) to my version.

I've crossed another #weaving milestone: I now have an account on the Scottish Tartans Authority so I can get accurate tartan threadcount information.

@ajmartinez Much faster than I expected. The set up and finishing took about as much time as the actual weaving.

@cameron Thank you! I'm pleased with how it came out.

Now the scarf is off the loom and I just finished the edges. Now it just needs a hand wash and it will be done. #weaving

Making progress on the scarf. This pattern calls for sparse spacing in the weft (6ppi) with a finer yarn and it's weird seeing these gaps. Apparently it all fills in when off the loom and washed. #weaving

This was after I had to undo half my warping work to center it, and tangled the yarn while rewinding it on the original skein. I spent at least an hour untangling and rewinding all 250 yards into a ball so it wouldn't tangle again.

In a warp zone. #weaving #scarf

@girthychode No, this is by design:

@kop316 HUGE! Thank you SO much for all your work on this!

@rastinza Sure thing! I'll probably start it in a week or so after I get to a good stopping point in Durant Vol III.
