Before the Spiffchorder

Before I had the spiffchorder I used several different approaches to getting my 7 keys seen as an input device.

The 2 which were longest lived were a hardware modification of a commercially available but not wearable chorder and a Linux kernel modification.

These will eventually be documented here. In the meantime, you can see these at http://www.cs.vassar.edu/people/priestdo/wearables/hacks

To quote myself from a decade ago:

By going to an “hand open” keying position as opposed to the twiddler “hand closed” position I find it is very comfortable and relaxing to use from the time I get up in the morning untill[sic] I switch over to the non-hand mounted one that I use at night (same position, nothing over the hand though so I will not get tangled by cords in my sleep). http://wearables.blu.org/wear-hard-98/19982176.html
