To form each character, the OR of all the active bits was strobed by the transition to no bits (when I let go). The action was synchronous and without the speed advantages of “n-key rollover,” but I was able to reach about half my normal typing speed.</p> <p>"</p> <p>Not quite hands-free!</p> <p>Presumably still holding the bars though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10813#post-120011 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 08:58:55 +0000 EddieD 120011@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This guy managed...</p> <p><a href="http://microship.com/resources/technomadic-tools.html" rel="nofollow">http://microship.com/resources/technomadic-tools.html</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10813#post-120006 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 08:46:03 +0000 chdot 120006@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Maybe I should try posting when cycling"</p> <p>Only if you can do it hands-free... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10813#post-120003 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 08:42:46 +0000 EddieD 120003@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It has been noted on this forum that I smile broadly when on my velocipedes.</p> <p>Maybe I should try posting when cycling </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10813#post-119996 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 06:38:55 +0000 RJ 119996@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think we need some data to back that up ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10813#post-119980 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 21:44:11 +0000 amir 119980@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"What's miserable about statistics?

Statistics, politics, finance, rain...</p> <p>So for goodness sake cheer up, cycling in Edinburgh isn't THAT bad ;-) we're not the ones cooped up in tin boxes sweating, more and more drivers are giving us some room (depsite the conspicuous scofflaw minority), even the rain when it comes is warm... And... Cycling is blummin' good FUN!</p> <p>So relax, smile, and be glad you're on a bike B-) </p>
