RSFA showed ã—ã«ãŒã¿ã®ãƒãƒ©ãƒƒãƒ‰ today. It was quite cute with the cutest white-haired Death you could see. Slice-of-lifish in some ways.
Haruhi is scheduled for Thursdays… Yay!
And lastly, first two classes (Intermediate Mechanics and Data Mining) seem good. Will report on OpSys and JPNIII tomorrow.
Well, I’ve returned to school, which starts on… Tuesday? In any case, that means my schedule’s changing. My classes on Monday and Thursday start bright and early at 8:00AM, so I’ll be in bed at midnight EDT on Sunday and Wednesday. The rest of the time it won’t be later than 2.
In other news, if I allow cheating, typing speed on Dvorak is up to 32 WPM (28 AWPM). “pipian” is horrible to type. Almost as bad as “ls -lt.”
I’m only a day and some in, and I’ll try to stick with it for two weeks, but here are my thoughts (after perusing other alternate keyboard layouts…):
If Dvorak doesn’t satisfy me in two weeks, i’m going to try Colemak…
P.S. Soon I should have some keyboard layouts prepared for Mac users…
Supposing I stick with it…
At the one-day-in mark, while I can get away with not looking at the keyboard, I’m still very much tempted to, and my practical speed is about 13-15 WPM. It’s going to be slow going for the next two weeks… By which point I should hopefully be at around 40WPM, I hope…
I’ve been touch-typing QWERTY for some time, ever since I started at age 13 or so.
Thus far, here’s my stats on an Apple Pro Keyboard:
(Accuracy in keys hit/total keys for each finger, from left pinky to right pinky, and then the thumb.)
89/89, 77/80, 27/28, 26/26, 74/75, 22/23, 50/51, 04/04, 92/93
Keystrokes Per Hour: 20277
Words Per Minute: 67
Adjusted Words Per Minute: 66
The reason I’m focusing on this is a curious one. I’ve been casually interested in Dvorak for a while now, and recently, my brother came into the possession of some 15-20 Apple keyboards of various design (Yeah, I know… That’s a lot!), of which at least 5 are Apple Pro Keyboards. I figured that now was as good enough a time to start learning Dvorak, which I plan on starting after this post (to finish preparing and such), so if you see me responding slowly for the next few days, you know why.
Here’s a list of things for me to remember to do:
Done some final tweaking on the blog and moved its base to the root directory, along with a server move! Still got a few Pages to work on from here on out (e.g. ‘Hosted Sites’, ‘Links’, a Mash-up Home rather than the Blog itself, and fixing up the About page with a FOAF link.)
As for those of you more curious as to whether or not I’m moving the Kiera route and abandoning exclusive updating of the LiveJournal, rest assured. I’m not quite ready to merge my several personas into one and as such, there will be some things posted on the LJ that I don’t feel so comfortable posting on my blog, and a lot of the more boring aspects of my life will probably stay here, since you neither know nor care about my Real Life friends (and frankly, they don’t even know this place exists!)
I’ll also keep checking your posts with my old account, though it might be preferrable for you guys to post here if it’s a crosspost. Fortunately it does have linkbacks, as you should be able to see here…
I’ll also probably be tweaking this blog in the near future (The mood icons, for example, while good, are not so ‘compatible’ with this theme, and I’m missing other useful plugins that Kiera has in spades). Also, the blog name may change as chosen, but I don’t know that for sure yet. In any case, it’s all good!
For those other sites hosted on my domain however, some parts may be broken due to a faulty command I used while mirroring, and some of the old sites that still rely on MySQL may be broken due to my decision to NOT move those databases over. Other old pages may disappear completely, but those will be mentioned as the time comes closer.
Still need to prettify the LJ Extras options in this editor though. =P
So, I’ve already moved all the current files from pipian.com to the new server. All that remains to be done is setting up DNS, MySQL, and Virtual Hosting.In addition, I’ve more or less finished a design for the new site, but I’m torn as to whether my blog should be the front page, or a separate page under the blog director /blog/ as it is now. I just have minor fix-ups to do before I can actually make the theme (Need to polish up the article display).
This is a test of crossposting to LiveJournal from my other blog on my website. It appears that the “LJ Extras” tab in Word Press (with Live+Press) does need a bit more ‘scripting’ to look pretty.
This is the first post on the new blog for pipian.com: “It Is A Mystery…”
Now running WordPress!
I promise this will be used more than my last one…
