dcinput daily for 31st Jan, 2007
Something pretty bizare has happened to the layout on the blog, sorry about that, I’m looking into it.
Update: Strangely publishing this post seems to have fixed everything.
Very busy but productive day at the office intersperced with learning how to touch type. I spend such a long time writing, I figured that the time I would gain from learning this new skill could be repurposed into doing more interesting things, and that this far outweighed the slighlty scarry notion that the separation between mind and machine would become that little bit more blurry.
TypeOnline is an online application that I’m finding very good. So far I am mainly learning about the ‘home’ keys which are the central line of keys on the keyboard. Did you know that the little indentations on the ‘f’ and the ‘j’ are there on purpose to help you put your hands in teh correct position without looking at the keyboard? Well I didn’t. Anyway touchtyping is hard.
I really was looking to find a copy of The Typing of the Dead, a game where by typing correctly and quickly you save youself from vicious flesh eating zombies. Quite literally you ‘type or die’.
Is anybody going to the Mobile Metamorphosis evening organised by Chinwag? Drop me a mail if you are.
