Toys
This week I got
a couple of toys. The first was a HalfKeyboard. My right
hand is showing symptoms of over-use. Tingling in my fingertips
when I type, dull pain in my forearm, etc. So I got a
HalfKeyboard to force me to use my left hand more. Since I'm not
very adept with my left hand, some of the chord patterns that the
keyboard requires are difficult and (right now) require some
thought. But, overall, an good keyboard. The Control key isn't
where I'd like it to be (it should be swapped with the Return key
so that it sits on the left), but I may be able to remap it.
Other than that, if I force myself to use the keyboard (which I
need to do), I can type at about 1/3 my already slow speed.
Hopefully that'll speed up.
The other
toy I got this week is a digital camera. Since I have to go
downtown to work tomorrow, I plan to take a trip around the
Quarter and get some pictures. Perhaps I'll have more stunning
visual effects on this weblog from now on.
