<h2>In the quest for the ultimate ergonomic keyboard, aesthetics often take a backseat to functionality. Yet, when I first laid eyes on the Glove80, I was struck by its elegant design—a refreshing departure from the utilitarian look typical of many ergonomic keyboards. Unlike the retro vibes of the Kinesis Advantage or the DIY aesthetics of most Dactyls, the Glove80 boasts a modern, sleek appearance that complements the contemporary design language of Apple, Google, and LG devices. With its clean lines and visually appealing legends, the Glove80 not only promises ergonomic comfort but does so with style, standing out amidst a sea of competitors.</h2> <hr>

<p>As my career trajectory veered from being an integral member of an electrical engineering team to assuming the role of Deputy Project Manager, the nature of my daily activities underwent a significant transformation. The hands-on tasks of yesteryears were gradually replaced by a deluge of documentations—writing, reviewing, and endless typing. This shift brought with it an unwelcome companion: discomfort in my hands and wrists, a stark reminder of the ergonomic pitfalls of conventional keyboards. It was in this context that my quest for a more ergonomic typing solution began, leading me towards the world of ALICE layout keyboards, with the <a href="https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q10-pro-alice-layout-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard"><strong>Q10 Pro</strong> by Keychron</a> being my initial foray into this new realm.</p> <p>As my career trajectory veered from being an integral member of an electrical engineering team to assuming the role of Deputy Project Manager, the nature of my daily activities underwent a significant transformation.

<p>However, the relief was partial, and the shadow of wrist strain persisted, urging me to delve deeper into the ergonomic keyboard universe. My search for a truly ergonomic solution brought me to the doorstep of the <a href="https://www.moergo.com"><strong>Glove80</strong> by MoErgo</a>. Boasting a unique split design, concave key wells, and a commitment to ergonomics that seemed almost tailor-made for my situation, the Glove80 held the promise of being the oasis I was desperately seeking in the desert of my wrist discomfort.</p> <p>However, the relief was partial, and the shadow of wrist strain persisted, urging me to delve deeper into the ergonomic keyboard universe.

<p>This journey from an ALICE layout keyboard user to a Glove80 enthusiast was not just about finding a better typing tool; it was about embracing a healthier typing posture and redefining my interaction with computers. After a month of integrating the Glove80 into my workflow, I&#39;m ready to share my insights and experiences. This review will explore the initial adaptation period, the impact on my wrist health, and whether the Glove80 lives up to its promise as an ergonomic game-changer.</p> <p>This journey from an ALICE layout keyboard user to a Glove80 enthusiast was not just about finding a better typing tool; it was about embracing a healthier typing posture and redefining my interaction with computers.

<h1>A Journey Through GNU Guix: From Installation to Returning to Arch Linux</h1>
<p>As a long-time user of Arch Linux, I decided to explore the world of GNU Guix to see if it could better suit my needs, especially with my growing interest in functional package management. The journey was insightful, filled with learning experiences, but ultimately led me back to the reliable shores of Arch. Here&#39;s a detailed account of my venture into GNU Guix, adding non-GNU channels, dealing with Nvidia drivers, running SwayWM, and the eventual retreat to Arch.</p> <p>As a long-time user of Arch Linux, I decided to explore the world of GNU Guix to see if it could better suit my needs, especially with my growing interest in functional package management.

<h1>My Journey into Scheme: Building a Simple Symlink Manager with Guile Scheme</h1>
<h2>Introduction</h2> <h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>I&#39;ve spent my career as an electrical engineer, not a software developer. However, my recent journey in to GNU/Liniux required a tool for managing symlinks, and that&#39;s how I began learning Scheme—specifically Guile Scheme. I&#39;m writing this post to share how I built <code>stash</code>, a utility that mimics GNU Stow&#39;s functionality, and how my learning journey was shaped by David Wilson&#39;s &quot;Hands-On Guile Scheme for Beginners&quot; course from System Crafters, more about this below.</p> <p>I&#39;ve spent my career as an electrical engineer, not a software developer.

<h2>Introduction</h2> <h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>A few months ago, I shared my journey into learning Scheme through building <code>stash</code>, a symlink manager.

<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>Sometimes the best projects emerge from casual conversations that span months or even years. That&#39;s exactly how my involvement with <a href="https://asteroid.radio">asteroid.radio</a> came about - through countless discussions with Fade on IRC, stretching back over a couple of years.</p>
<p>Fade is the development lead on asteroid.radio, and our conversations about the project have been a recurring thread in our IRC interactions. What started as occasional mentions evolved into deeper technical discussions, and eventually into an opportunity to contribute. I did bend Fades&#39; arm a little bit to get us started, but I hope he appreciates the push.</p>
<h2>What is asteroid.radio?</h2>
<p><a href="https://asteroid.radio">asteroid.radio</a> is a broadcasting station dedicated to what Fade has dubbed &quot;asteroid music&quot; - that particular genre of sound that helps you slip into a deep workflow when hacking or deeply engaged at the computer. The moment Fade coined the term, I knew exactly what he was referencing. It&#39;s that music that fades into the background while simultaneously sharpening your focus.</p>
<p>We&#39;re attempting to build a community around this concept - a space for people who understand that the right soundtrack can transform a coding session from distracted fumbling into hours of productive flow. The project is open source, and you can find the code at <a href="https://github.com/fade/asteroid">github.com/fade/asteroid</a>.</p>
<h2>The IRC Connection</h2>
<p>My involvement with asteroid.radio is deeply rooted in IRC culture. Fade and easilok are both active in the IRC community, and it&#39;s through these channels that the project has grown and evolved.</p>
<p>There&#39;s something special about IRC as a medium for project collaboration. The asynchronous nature of conversations allows ideas to percolate over time. Fade and I would discuss asteroid.radio concepts, then return to them weeks or months later with fresh perspectives. This slow-burn approach to project development has its own rhythm - one that I&#39;ve come to appreciate.</p>

title: "Contributing to asteroid.radio: Broadcasting Asteroid Music for Deep Work"
date: 2026-01-12
tags: [community, radio, open-source, irc, music]
description: "After over a year of conversations with Fade on IRC, I'm excited to be contributing to asteroid.radio - a broadcasting station for asteroid music, designed to help you get into that deep workflow."
---
## Introduction
Sometimes the best projects emerge from casual conversations that span months or even years. That's exactly how my involvement with [asteroid.radio](https://asteroid.radio) came about - through countless discussions with Fade on IRC, stretching back over a couple of years.
Fade is the development lead on asteroid.radio, and our conversations about the project have been a recurring thread in our IRC interactions. What started as occasional mentions evolved into deeper technical discussions, and eventually into an opportunity to contribute. I did bend Fades' arm a little bit to get us started, but I hope he appreciates the push.
## What is asteroid.radio?
[asteroid.radio](https://asteroid.radio) is a broadcasting station dedicated to what Fade has dubbed "asteroid music" - that particular genre of sound that helps you slip into a deep workflow when hacking or deeply engaged at the computer. The moment Fade coined the term, I knew exactly what he was referencing. It's that music that fades into the background while simultaneously sharpening your focus.
We're attempting to build a community around this concept - a space for people who understand that the right soundtrack can transform a coding session from distracted fumbling into hours of productive flow. The project is open source, and you can find the code at [github.com/fade/asteroid](https://github.com/fade/asteroid).
## The IRC Connection
My involvement with asteroid.radio is deeply rooted in IRC culture. Fade and easilok are both active in the IRC community, and it's through these channels that the project has grown and evolved.
There's something special about IRC as a medium for project collaboration. The asynchronous nature of conversations allows ideas to percolate over time. Fade and I would discuss asteroid.radio concepts, then return to them weeks or months later with fresh perspectives. This slow-burn approach to project development has its own rhythm - one that I've come to appreciate.
## Getting Involved
After over a couple of years of these on-and-off conversations, I'm now actively contributing to the project. Working with Fade as the dev lead has been a great experience - there's a "clear" vision for what asteroid.radio should become (don't mention Autechre), while still leaving room for contributors to bring their own ideas and expertise.
The project represents exactly the kind of work I find most rewarding: community-focused, technically interesting, and aligned with the values of open source that I care about.
## Looking Forward
I'm excited to see where [asteroid.radio](https://asteroid.radio) goes from here. Projects like this demonstrate what's possible when communities come together to build something meaningful.
If you're interested in asteroid music, deep work soundtracks, or just want to see what we're building, tune in to [asteroid.radio](https://asteroid.radio) and check out the [source code on GitHub](https://github.com/fade/asteroid). And if you're on IRC, come say hello - you might find yourself drawn into a years-long conversation that leads somewhere unexpected.
## Community Matters
This experience has reinforced something I've come to believe strongly: the best open source contributions often come from genuine community connections. Whether it's the [System Crafters](https://systemcrafters.net/) community, the [Craftering webring](https://craftering.systemcrafters.net/), or the IRC channels where projects like [asteroid.radio](https://asteroid.radio) take shape, these spaces matter.
Thanks to Fade for the leadership on this project, to easilok for being part of the community, and to everyone who makes IRC such a valuable space for collaboration.
Happy Hacking!

<h2>In the quest for the ultimate ergonomic keyboard, aesthetics often take a backseat to functionality. Yet, when I first laid eyes on the Glove80, I was struck by its elegant design—a refreshing departure from the utilitarian look typical of many ergonomic keyboards. Unlike the retro vibes of the Kinesis Advantage or the DIY aesthetics of most Dactyls, the Glove80 boasts a modern, sleek appearance that complements the contemporary design language of Apple, Google, and LG devices. With its clean lines and visually appealing legends, the Glove80 not only promises ergonomic comfort but does so with style, standing out amidst a sea of competitors.</h2> <hr>

<p>As my career trajectory veered from being an integral member of an electrical engineering team to assuming the role of Deputy Project Manager, the nature of my daily activities underwent a significant transformation. The hands-on tasks of yesteryears were gradually replaced by a deluge of documentations—writing, reviewing, and endless typing. This shift brought with it an unwelcome companion: discomfort in my hands and wrists, a stark reminder of the ergonomic pitfalls of conventional keyboards. It was in this context that my quest for a more ergonomic typing solution began, leading me towards the world of ALICE layout keyboards, with the <a href="https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q10-pro-alice-layout-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard"><strong>Q10 Pro</strong> by Keychron</a> being my initial foray into this new realm.</p> <p>As my career trajectory veered from being an integral member of an electrical engineering team to assuming the role of Deputy Project Manager, the nature of my daily activities underwent a significant transformation.

<h2>Discovering Scheme with System Crafters</h2> <h2>Discovering Scheme with System Crafters</h2>
<p>My journey began with a desire to dive deeper into programming languages and their ecosystems. I am a member of the <a href="https://systemcrafters.net/community/">System Crafters Community</a>, and its founder, David Wilson, announced a short four week course as an introduction to Guile Scheme.

<h1>A Journey Through GNU Guix: From Installation to Returning to Arch Linux</h1>
<p>As a long-time user of Arch Linux, I decided to explore the world of GNU Guix to see if it could better suit my needs, especially with my growing interest in functional package management. The journey was insightful, filled with learning experiences, but ultimately led me back to the reliable shores of Arch. Here&#39;s a detailed account of my venture into GNU Guix, adding non-GNU channels, dealing with Nvidia drivers, running SwayWM, and the eventual retreat to Arch.</p> <p>As a long-time user of Arch Linux, I decided to explore the world of GNU Guix to see if it could better suit my needs, especially with my growing interest in functional package management.

<h1>My Journey into Scheme: Building a Simple Symlink Manager with Guile Scheme</h1>
<h2>Introduction</h2> <h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>I&#39;ve spent my career as an electrical engineer, not a software developer. However, my recent journey in to GNU/Liniux required a tool for managing symlinks, and that&#39;s how I began learning Scheme—specifically Guile Scheme. I&#39;m writing this post to share how I built <code>stash</code>, a utility that mimics GNU Stow&#39;s functionality, and how my learning journey was shaped by David Wilson&#39;s &quot;Hands-On Guile Scheme for Beginners&quot; course from System Crafters, more about this below.</p> <p>I&#39;ve spent my career as an electrical engineer, not a software developer.

<h2>Introduction</h2> <h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>A few months ago, I shared my journey into learning Scheme through building <code>stash</code>, a symlink manager.

<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>Sometimes the best projects emerge from casual conversations that span months or even years. That&#39;s exactly how my involvement with <a href="https://asteroid.radio">asteroid.radio</a> came about - through countless discussions with Fade on IRC, stretching back over a couple of years.</p>
<p>Fade is the development lead on asteroid.radio, and our conversations about the project have been a recurring thread in our IRC interactions. What started as occasional mentions evolved into deeper technical discussions, and eventually into an opportunity to contribute. I did bend Fades&#39; arm a little bit to get us started, but I hope he appreciates the push.</p>
<h2>What is asteroid.radio?</h2>
<p><a href="https://asteroid.radio">asteroid.radio</a> is a broadcasting station dedicated to what Fade has dubbed &quot;asteroid music&quot; - that particular genre of sound that helps you slip into a deep workflow when hacking or deeply engaged at the computer. The moment Fade coined the term, I knew exactly what he was referencing. It&#39;s that music that fades into the background while simultaneously sharpening your focus.</p>
<p>We&#39;re attempting to build a community around this concept - a space for people who understand that the right soundtrack can transform a coding session from distracted fumbling into hours of productive flow. The project is open source, and you can find the code at <a href="https://github.com/fade/asteroid">github.com/fade/asteroid</a>.</p>
<h2>The IRC Connection</h2>
<p>My involvement with asteroid.radio is deeply rooted in IRC culture. Fade and easilok are both active in the IRC community, and it&#39;s through these channels that the project has grown and evolved.</p>
<p>There&#39;s something special about IRC as a medium for project collaboration. The asynchronous nature of conversations allows ideas to percolate over time. Fade and I would discuss asteroid.radio concepts, then return to them weeks or months later with fresh perspectives. This slow-burn approach to project development has its own rhythm - one that I&#39;ve come to appreciate.</p>
<h2>Getting Involved</h2>
<p>After over a couple of years of these on-and-off conversations, I&#39;m now actively contributing to the project. Working with Fade as the dev lead has been a great experience - there&#39;s a &quot;clear&quot; vision for what asteroid.radio should become (don&#39;t mention Autechre), while still leaving room for contributors to bring their own ideas and expertise.</p>
<p>The project represents exactly the kind of work I find most rewarding: community-focused, technically interesting, and aligned with the values of open source that I care about.</p>
<h2>Looking Forward</h2>
<p>I&#39;m excited to see where <a href="https://asteroid.radio">asteroid.radio</a> goes from here. Projects like this demonstrate what&#39;s possible when communities come together to build something meaningful.</p>
<p>If you&#39;re interested in asteroid music, deep work soundtracks, or just want to see what we&#39;re building, tune in to <a href="https://asteroid.radio">asteroid.radio</a> and check out the <a href="https://github.com/fade/asteroid">source code on GitHub</a>. And if you&#39;re on IRC, come say hello - you might find yourself drawn into a years-long conversation that leads somewhere unexpected.</p>
<h2>Community Matters</h2>
<p>This experience has reinforced something I&#39;ve come to believe strongly: the best open source contributions often come from genuine community connections. Whether it&#39;s the <a href="https://systemcrafters.net/">System Crafters</a> community, the <a href="https://craftering.systemcrafters.net/">Craftering webring</a>, or the IRC channels where projects like <a href="https://asteroid.radio">asteroid.radio</a> take shape, these spaces matter.</p>
<p>Thanks to Fade for the leadership on this project, to easilok for being part of the community, and to everyone who makes IRC such a valuable space for collaboration.</p>
<p>Happy Hacking!</p>
