This is my poor Olivetti Praxis 48 with a spacebar broken in half. (I might 3D print a replacement one day!)pic.twitter.com/OCUZdCyQvJ

For the chapter I’m starting to write today, I am tying Enigma, stenography, and assistive keyboards. If you’re thinking “are those really related?”, I have the same doubts. I guess I’ll find out as I’m writing…?

Had to split it into two chapters in the end. Wrote both via 11,000 words during the last two days, which is some sort of a personal record that I never want to repeat. So,

As of today, my first draft has both Clinton and Trump in it. Guess which one of them is treated with respect, and which one with cutting subtext.

An unexpectedly satisfying part of writing is making mini-timelines like these ones.They’re sometimes frustrating to piece together (I basically had to rent many old Microsoft Word help books on Internet Archive today), but they help a lot in straightening the story.pic.twitter.com/InjQwubjHr

to go!
This is a keyboard I actually made. It only outputs spaces. Since this is my first keyboard, I call it a “space cadet keyboard.”
I might actually be done with the first draft in a week which is… surreal.pic.twitter.com/BQd8YRJgho

Just now, for the first time, I put together in my head the words that will end my book. It was a surprisingly emotional moment. (They might still change, but it doesn’t matter.)

Things I didn’t expect to be doing while writing this book: helping the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum identify a teleprinter keyboard that was used in the Washington–Moscow cold war hotline.

So.
Yes, I’m not kidding. I just finished writing.
(I… I don’t know what to say. I’ll follow this up with something more useful/interesting/poignant/whatever – eventually – but… I just finished writing.)pic.twitter.com/M58Y21jf3g
