DVORAK

October 27, 2003 | Category: General

Lately I seem to have a thing for messing up a good thing. Killercuts the site is most definitely on hold. Probably won’t attempt anything with that until early next year.
I came up with an oh so stupid idea. I know that the original qwerty keyboard was designed to slow the user down and that the dvorak keyboard can help reduce strain etc. But for someone who has been touch typing using the qwerty keyboard for over four years the change over process is kinda painful. Yes I have nothing better to do with my time.
For those who are interested, the basic idea is that the more commonly used keys are closer at hand. To be honest I can tell the difference and the amount of words which one can type just using the middle line is quite unbelievable. But where before it would take two minutes to type, now takes ten. Having heard some linux peeps using it, I just had to give it a go.
