Thanks the Tucker.

I would suggest adding another photo in there and showing in the left hand like a mini keyboard the 1-9 keys or whatever so people could use that as a hotkey pad and maybe change the mouse photo on the right to an MMO mouse with 12 buttons on the inside like the one I mentioned I use (I think this visual would give people ideas to more closely adopt the setup you're showing in the photo).

Yes, indeed it would be possible to have a Mini Keyboard on one of the MouseDecks and a 12 button MMO mouse on the other MouseDeck. I'll see what I can find by way of 3D models for these items and make a configuration.

In my case I use a 3Dconnexion Space Traveller on the left and CadMouse on the right.I also use the CadMouse NumPad a lot for figure input. When using this setup with a laptop while working on a desktop, the user has at least a 40% saving in hand movement. This alone justifies the setup, I feel. I also use the Multi-Holder for reference page positioning/reading within my 'Cone of Vision'. This saves a lot of head movement.

Love the product idea though. Will check out the kick starter.

Thanks, and please spread the word.

Hi All,

As the topic says, 'I've finally launched MouseDeck!'. This is a project that i've been working on over the past 18 months and have now launched as a Kickstarter Campaign.

I think it may be of interest to our members that primarily use a laptop for their CAD work and more so if they like to use a laptop while in a lounging position with a mouse and navigator like the following images show.

I would appreciate if laptop users here would check out the MouseDeck Kickstarter Campaign at this link, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mousedeck/mousedecktm and maybe pledge if you think a MouseDeck might improve your productivity. I would also appreciate if you could spread the word about MouseDeck on your networks.

Much appreciated,

Mike

I agree with you Ken. It looks like a mess that has to be cleaned up otherwise the USA election system will not have present or future credibility and if that becomes the case, I dread to think what will happen.

I had actually listened to the Russel Ramsland (Co-Founder of the Allied Security Operations Group)interview by Simone Gao, Zooming In.

'Exclusive: Exam Indicates Georgia Tabulating Machine Sent Results to China'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqsC5vIeoGw

Russel Ramsland seems extremely knowledgeable and very credible.

Fair enough Gus. I viewed/listened to the links you posted. Just a couple of observations,

a. So the count watchers were not asked to leave. Seemingly they were told the counting was over for the day, so I imagine they just headed off home thinking that there was no point in staying. That makes perfect sense.

b. However counting did actually continue until the early hours of the morning with no count watchers present. That looks very suspicious to me.

c. As regards the explanation about the cases under the sheet covered wheel-in table. I saw an early part to the security video showing two women wheeling in the table, presumably with the cases hidden in the table as at no time was there further security video showing cases being positioned under the table.

I think to any neutral/open minded person this looks at the very least, suspicious. Only for the building security cameras this suspicious activity would not have come to light.

I voted with a pen like every year recently. Before that, we voted with a hole puncher.Nothing went wrong. There is no evidence of fraud.

You must have not been following too closely, Mike.

Hi pbacot,

As regards CA, was it not a forgone that it would be a Dem result. However there was and article in the LA Times that raised a few eyebrows, 'Nearly 84,000 duplicate voter records found in audit of California’s ‘motor voter’ system'
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-08-09/duplicate-voter-records-audit-california-motor-voter-system

I had been looking at the results coming in from the so called 'swing states' and was shocked at what was coming to light. Some of the security video evidence was very frightening. Particularly the 'after hours' activity that took place with no watchers.

I think this whole thing is a poor reflection on how elections should be run and more so when it appears to be happening in the USA.

Hi Guys,

I've been following the ins and out of the US Presidential Election and am at a loss when it comes to figuring out what is actually going to happen. I think there maybe a lesson to be learned from the Irish electorate.

Back in 2002 the Irish Government trialed e-voting in three constituencies. The then Government purchased e-voting machines for the total country at a cost of €51,000,000.

However, the electorate objected as it didn't trust the system and the e-voting system was shelved. The machines were put into storage at an annual cost of €800,000! They were eventually sold off as scrape for an undisclosed sum.

Our leader at the time, Bertie Ahern, expressed the view that with some modifications to protect the security of the system it could still be implemented. “Otherwise, this country will move into the 21st century being a laughing stock with our stupid old pencils,” he added.
BTW, this view was from a man that claimed not to have a bank account and kept his money in a shoe box!

I for one will never agree to e-voting and am happy with my 'stupid old pencil' (biro in my case as pencil ticks can be changed easily). I also enjoy the drama of the manual counts that take a few days and up to a week for some constituencies. It's good television.

Is it time for the USA to go back to the 'stupid old pencil'?

It looks that it might well be the case.

Hi Guys,

I heard a Dr. on TV saying in this time of Coronavirus staying at home we should focus on inner peace. To achieve this we should always finish things we start and we all could use more calm in our lives. I looked through the house to find things I'd started and hadn't finished, so I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of wum, tha mainder of Valiumun srciptuns, an a box a chocletz. Yu haf no idr how feckin fablus I feel rite now. Sned this to all who need inner piss. An telum u luvum. And two hash yer wands,

stafe day avrybobby!!!

Burp!

A Happy St Patrick's Day to all.

Challenging times ahead for us all. We need to keep a cool head and not panic also take care of the vulnerable. We are only as strong as the weakest link! Support your medics any way you can. It's they that will be at the front line and will need our support.

I think that when this pandemic is over many of us will see a need for true World cooperation, 'No Man is an Island'. This will be demonstrated to us with catastrophic costs.

Hi All,

Over the past few years I have been reading and reviewing anything and everything I can, to get a better handle on 'Climate Change'.

As we all know there are always two sides to every story but in the case of 'Climate Change' it seems to be what I would call, the Religion of Climate Change on one hand and on the other, the 'Deniers'.

In my own country, Ireland, we will be facing heavier Carbon Taxes! I have for some time, due to my skeptical mind, been wondering if the Climate Change agenda is being used to generate further taxes on the ordinary man and woman? I have often thought the elites would like the tax the air we breath if they could find a way to do so .... maybe they see Carbon Tax as the next best thing.

The following are three links to YouTube discussions on the subject.. If you have the time to view I would value your opinions.

BTW, I most definitely would like to see diminishing resources conserved and the air quality in cities and towns improved .... thats a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned. However, I would like to learn the proven facts and hopefully the truth if it is possible at this time. I am really not interested in joining a religious like cult that is trying to brainwash people and alienate 'Deniers'.

Good to hear. It looks like the wrinkles have been ironed out

They are over rated anyway. EVs are the future.

Inspirational work Xayzer. It's a pleasure to view it

Hi Mac SketchUp Users,

It looks like Mac OS Catalina Beta, at least, does not fully support SketchUp.

Convert STL to STEP.pdfHi Guys,

I'm working on a project that entails converting .skp files to .step for online quotes for injection molds and plastic parts.

I got quite frustrated trying to do the conversions using various online services both free and paid. However, I found a simple solution that works every time and it doesn't cost a penny!

Just follow the instructions on this PDF which I sourced on ICO Molds.
