Friday

More of that cosplay. Prepare yourselves.

As evidence of what the past two years have done to my mental state, it took me until yesterday to realize I don't need a photocopier to make tarot flashcards. I could just, you know, order a spare deck and glue notes to the back. If I wanted to get fancy, I could even print out the answers to fit more information than I could handwrite in the space. Kinda hoping the two-week shipping estimate was excessively cautious because now I'm motivated to get moving on that project.

No question today bc it's an open thread on my website so I'm saving my still-limited wrist usage for that. Using the touchpad is more of a problem than typing so I'm thinking about pricing lap desks that can accommodate a (left-handed) mouse. If anyone has recommendations for sites or brands of such, I'd appreciate it.

What kind of lap desk? We've got one of these from IKEA. Kind of depends on the size of your laptop if it accommodates a mouse or not... You can squeeze one next to my 15 inch one, but it's a tight fit. Next to the tiny work computer it's fine.

Alas, that one's only about half an inch wider than the one I have now, and there's not nearly enough room on this one for a mouse. (my laptop's 14" wide)

eta: I wonder how long it would take me to learn to use the trackpad left-handed...

Oooh, nice, that cosplay is going places! \o/

I actually use trackballs. They're better for my shoulder. They might work for wrist problems, too. And they don't need space to move, unlike a mouse. There are not many brands, though. I have a Kensington, but Logitech is far more popular.

*smacks forehead* How could I have forgotten about trackballs? Gosh it's been ages since I used one. Hmm hmm hmm!!! Definitely something to consider, much appreciated!
