Shareware Beach

It’s been a while since my last post here. Longer than I had intended.

In April I started feeling some serious discomfort in my arms and wrists. Nothing serious enough to stop me from using a computer all day. Yet serious enough for me to get serious about ergonomics and RSI prevention. I love what I do and I make a nice living from it. I’d rather break a leg (again) than to lose the fine motor control in my hands, so I can keep on breaking a leg in cyberspace (and write bad puns). So I started with reducing my workload and cutting all non-vital PC activities, including blogging, gradually building things back up.

Anyway, with lots of patience and practice, five months and over a thousand dollars later, I’m good as new. I’ve made some permanent changes to my equipment and daily routine that should keep me going for another decade. More about all that in the coming weeks and months at the Shareware Beach.
