Another cool reason: This board uses QMK firmware, which also has built-in support for MIDI, including a sequencer. So, I can have a layer that sends midi cc, notes on/off, program changes, clock, etc.
If I'm working in a DAW such as Pro Tools or Logic, I can do all sorts of things such as program keys to play full chords or chord progressions. Maybe I want to press some key combo to start/stop my external sequencer, or arm/disarm a synth to improvise live with a looper, but not record into the loop.
I'm sure the possibilities are endless, but having the flexibility to tinker and build your own workflow is super neat.
I hear you. My current strategy, unfortunately, is to buy a new MBP, sell it at exactly 23 months so that I can advertise "over 1 year left of Apple Care".
Developer Support at Stripe is full service. We are persistent at solving problems for engineers from a multitude of backgrounds. We interact with users primarily through email and IRC, teaching them the primitives powering our APIs and guiding them to a complete integration, built specifically for their needs. Having worked with a bunch of programming languages and services, we understand the fundamentals of programming incredibly well and eagerly jump into others' code no matter how unfamiliar things seem at first glance.
We're currently looking for people based in the US, Europe, and APAC -- full-time or part-time. If you enjoy hacking on code and are a fast researcher, strong writer, and enthusiastic about helping others build mission-critical products with Stripe, we want to talk.
You can read more about Developer Support, and apply directly at https://stripe.com/jobs/positions/developer-support. Please include pointers to projects of which you are particularly proud, links to technical posts you've written, your GitHub profile, and any other background you think would be relevant.
My first thought is to use this on vacation. Let's say I go to San Diego... I enter in the hotel, the zoo, ocean beach, little italy, la jolla, etc. Then, as I randomly explore the area, I click from current location to any spot I've already entered. I LOVE this.
My most common words on vacation are "How in the hell do I get back to the hotel".
Nice!! Good job Michael and Eric!! I just scored a few much needed extra points with Stephanie. (Much needed because I took her to see "The Grey" last night.)
*Note to self. When faced with "The Vow", and "The Grey" on night before Valentines, choose "The Vow".
I've solved this and more with www.getvolta.com. We are a lightweight CRM for companies that rely on the phone.
Our outbound stuff is more advanced, but our inbound is simple. Simply change the phone number on your site with a bit of javascript and you're done. That javascript rotates through a bunch of your phone numbers that we give you, tracks referrers, search queries, etc.
When the phone rings you can have a callerid screen that instantly displays all the above plus history of conversations with that person.
We also allow the person who answered the phone to enter a numeric value after each call. Then, you can see ROI for all the various marketing efforts.
Contact me privately if you're interested in learning more. We are still private, but opening up very soon.
Very interesting. I'd like to learn more. Your email isn't in your profile and I couldn't find a contact email on getvolta.com or your Quora page. My email is kdavis@chambersconstruction.com.
My use case may be a bit different. I want to use the various #s for print ads in magazines, newspapers, and journals and also on marketing materials at trade shows.
The end goal is to determine which marketing channels are actually producing interest and which are just setting a big pile of money on fire.
