The Dvorak zine
I started writing the draft for this post ages ago, but I guess it can’t hurt to publish it anyway… Today I shot a nice picture (with a crappy camera) of a beautifully leaved tree, gotta love autumn… and I’ll finish the other lay-out someday… but with these leaves this one still looks very nice, so it may take a while :P . Anyways, any reference to time should be read as if it were a month ago, enjoy re-learning how to type ;) .
I found this link in my feeds today: The Dvorak Zine. Some enthusiasts came up with a printable magazine for street promotion… I must say that the mag itself is a great and informative read, but I don’t think I’ll hit the streets with it… that is… not just by myself. But again: the comic they wrote is a nice read and the stats generator is cool too. Here’s the distribution of keys of one of the dutch texts on this blog:
I learned dvorak about 4 months ago and it took me 2 weeks to reach usable typing speeds. On top of that, I’m a less attractive “fix my computer” victim as I have completely forgotten about qwerty…
I read it, and thought it to be pretty cool! It’s a very nice way to explain the problem.
