Tech Smartly

Hey everyone. There has been a lack of updates since I did not want to type in QWERTY, and wanted to type as much as possible in Dvorak (the last post took me a while). However, I have met a problem, and that is that I can’t seem to type any faster. since last week, my wpm has increased by 3. It has increased very little, considering that it usually increases by 1-2 every day at least. I can not comfortably type in Dvorak, especially since it is still to slow for my liking. I still have to think about every movement I make at least a little bit, while in QWERTY it is very natural. I can not type in Dvorak if I have to type anything more than a paragraph at a time, since it starts to get frustrating how slow I am at typing.

I like Dvorak, I think it actually is a better keyboard layout. I notice now, as I’m typing this sentence in QWERTY, I so far hit about only 18 home row letters in this sentence. Meanwhile, that sentence I had just wrote, it contained around 27 letters not on the home row for Dvorak. There were so many letter on the home row, it was easier to count those not on the home row. Of course it’s not very accurate to use only one sentence, but Dvorak is still as good as ever for almost anything you can type.

Well, this blog has not been getting any updates for a while since I wanted to not type in QWERTY, but then no one would visit and those few readers I have would go away. So, I’ve given up on my QWERTY boycott. This doesn’tmean I’ll stop practising Dvorak, but to use Dvorak for all my posts would take too much time and become frustrating quickly. So, if you are a long term reader that has almost given up, don’t despair, more updates are coming!
