Information: A tale of woe!

I use CorelDraw to design all my patterns. I have used it for years and it's actually a pretty reliable program. I have customized several of the shortcuts and the workspace considerably. Today it decided to crash. It killed it's self to the point I had to uninstall and reinstall. 

Normally not a big problem but in this case it was. All those custom shortcuts and workspace changes are taking a few hours to put back the way I had them. I have a Genovation Keypad that I have all my main key strokes mapped to it. This lets me select tools much quicker. I love this keypad and my muscle memory is tuned to use it. Now I have to set up all my changed shortcuts to match this keypad again. Arrrr!

When I had to design today's pattern without all my custom setting it felt like I was using a different program. Normally I could have just kept the settings when I uninstalled the program but in this case that did not work so I had to delete them and start over. 


The Genovation keypad is fully programmable and a pleasure to use. I thought some of you may be interested in this thing so this is my Amazon affiliate link if you want to check it out. If you are a heavy computer user this can save you lot's of time. 

There are two versions. One has 24 keys and the other has 48 keys. Here is a video review from YouTube of the 48 key version. If I had known how much I love this thing I would have purchased the larger one. I bought the 24 key version.

Think Safety

Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
