Hey Printer
Hey! Sleeping but ready to print.
Great! I sent something along to print.
Got it! Printing.
Hmm..I better print this as a photo as it is an image.
Sure thing, change some settings!
Okay, changed settings and it is on the way.

Printer it--
NO. NO WAY MAN!

I am trying my best to implement the idea of "Make it work first, make it look good later" (paraphrasing).
It has been quite the challenge, but I've found I can work more on solving the problems and not getting lost in the details.

Vacation hacking fun:
* Got an old Ploopy Nano from a friend.
* Wanted to get it to 'scroll', found a good repo.
* Wired up a scroll layer in QMK that mimics Num-lock being 'held' like on my Keyball39.
It works! I have a scroll mode on the Nano. Next is mouse keys.
