LadyCrimson Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I type in the near-dark a lot anyway, so it would be no problem for me. I looked it up on Amazon, and now I want one.

Near dark doesn't work for me, every frustration ends up with me reattaching the keys to the keyboard. Near-dark=bad idea.

Serrano Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I can't seem to get the hang of touch typing, I always hit the key to the right of the one I intended to press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 @TN - yeah, touch typing is a weird thing, like random words vs. trying to touch-type a whole legal document or something. I'm not sure I'd really call myself a touch-typist...just years of typing in the dark I know where the keys are/hand placement becomes quick & fairly automatic. @hurlshot - awwww! love the 2nd one, lol. “Things are as they are.

I'm not sure I'd really call myself a touch-typist...just years of typing in the dark I know where the keys are/hand placement becomes quick & fairly automatic. I only managed about 288 characters and 49 words. I can't do those weird random word things. My brain just doesn't function in that manner. Give me a proper sentence to type out and I'm sure I can get going much faster than I did on that test. My typing style sounds like yours, but with my own little quirks. I don't even use all my fingers. Almost all my typing is done with my index and middle fingers. Pinky never get's used and the ring finger really is only used to hit things like A, but not Q and backspace/enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theslug Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Thanks for the test lady I have been some what curious as to what my typing speed has devolved to since I took my business course in high school which was basically just a glorified typing class. The randomness of the words really threw me off and it took me about half of the time to really get the hang of detaching my mind. I'm sure if I was transcribing or just rewriting actual sentences my score would have been higher but I'm relatively pleased. You type 456 characters per minute You have 88 correct words and you have 1 wrong words Nothing interesting in my life. Just kind of treading water and being depressed while isolating myself from the world during the summer. All my aspirations and goals have seemed to just melt away in the last couple weeks and I spend most of the day watching/listening to media on the computer in the cool darkness of my room. Need school and internship to start then maybe begin human social reintegration. Until then just going to keep working out. I've lost 10 pounds and I'm looking to lose another 10 but at the same time replacing that with muscle. I'm done with my cut, I would say in a month or two I should have some ab's coming in, especially if I start doing morning HIIT 3-4 times a week and keeping my diet mediocre. ~the slug, this forums ray of sunlight~ There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do use all my fingers...1 typing class and 1 Mavis software program years & years ago gave me that much. However, that's only with the letter/punctuation keys and surrounding function keys. The 1-2-3 etc. number keys above, I hunt and peck. I don't use them much so no habitual training. heh ...tonight I ate too much pizza.

I can type with every finger if I think about it, but most of the time I don't bother and I'm just as fast. With enough practice I could probably get faster if I used all my fingers, but that seems like too much work. I'm the same with the numbers/symbols. Not enough use.

Calax Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Spent the evening being harassed by 15 year old girls (as mentioned before), met my cousin from the Congo, went to bed at 5pm and woke up at 7am.

LadyCrimson Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Good morning! Hubby's in the garage fiddling with some electronic project ("What are you doing?" "I'm switching out the 220omn resistor for a 5 ohm resistor..." "Ok...") and I'm in here watching Red Sox baseball. Occasionally we meet in the kitchen or in the yard & smooch like schoolchildren.

For one of em (the one who's crushing on me) yes. The other two? Not so much... my cousin is a twig and probably wouldn't beat 100 lbs when soaking wet due to a childhood illness stemming from to much loving of her pet stuffed animal. It's even worse because my aunt LOVES to harass me about the crush. Oh, btw, Cousin in Congo photo of epic appearing in 3... 2.... 1...

LadyCrimson Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 All-star break for MLB, meaning no regular games to watch. Bah. Not interested. I've come to the conclusion that Stubb's brand Original BBQ sauce and their Beef Marinade are two of the better (non-gourmet-priced) pre-bottled sauces. Also, that's I'd BBQ/grill a lot more often if I didn't have to wash the stupid (and heavy) racks every time. “Things are as they are.

I also really enjoy the Famous Dave's marinades, but they are hard to find. They don't even sell them at our local restaurant. The BBQ sauce is easier to find and pretty awesome though.
