waddles.org Wad about me?

Three days in and I'm using the full home row.

I just graduated to Lesson 4 in KTouch so now I'm using all the keys on the home row in lessons. Typing speed in general is improving too. Today I didn't look at the new layout once and was able to visualise the location of most of the keys in my mind. It feels like I'm making real progress.

Things that still catch me:

After a failed attempt to switch to the Dvorak keyboard layout, a recent posting on Slashdot has got me looking at alternative layouts again, this time at Colemak.

The perils of upgrading TWiki on Gentoo.

One of the really cool things about Gentoo is it's webapp-config tool that allows you to run concurrent (or slotted) installations of different versions of the same web based application. For example, from one single instance of Apache, you can run numerous virtual hosts, each with a different version of TWiki.

I'm taking Michael Daum's BlogUp application for a spin to see what full markup blogging feels like.
