I was shopping for some velcro and other things I was decided to build my carrying solution with, but I found something I thought might work quite well. And now when I've tried it, it does.

I've spent some time building a case for my beagleboard, the main unit of my wearable computer. Here's a pic of the whole system now.

Interface rant
So I will soon have usable wearable computer. So far so well, but I need to choose what OS I'll run, and which interface. For now, I'm going to go for Ubuntu minimal install with a menu based interface, something like what INX has and which I like. But there's none I could just pick is there? Except for INX menuscripts themselves, but while I do like the concept really, I'm not going to have my menus in several bash files, when I can just have one excecutable and it's configfile. INX does really well what it's intended for, but I've decided it's not for me anymore.

So, here I'm again.
My progress goes something like this:

So, last time I wrote about my to-be wonderful keyboard. It's still not working.
I'm not really that good with electronics, and wouldn't be surprised to have just messed up some simple thing that I'm now overlooking. Ampmeter tells me that power and data comes and goes, and also something happens when I press the keys, but it still isn't recognised by a computer. It should be, and it shouldn't need any drivers other than the standard USB keyboard. Doesn't show even on lsusb or dmesg.

My computer is becoming wearable, though it's taking some time.
Half of the allocated time is gone already, and I feel like I should have accomplished a lot more. Also I feel like I'll be finished in a week, which is not true either. I now have a working computer, which doesn't yet seem to understand my 3g, working head mounted display, in monochrome as it's a lot more readable that way and I'm going to spend my time in command line anyway, and barebones keyboard, which has not yet been programmed because of missing atmega8 programmerthingy.
