Okay guys, if you don’t have dropbox already you need to get it. And you need to get it using my referral URL so I get more space and you get more space. Sound good? Good.

If anyone is interested, I put up a project page for the game programming course I’m taking (CSE380). For my individual project, I’m making a game called “I WOKE UP LATE AND NOW I HAVE TO ROCKET JUMP PASS ZOMBIES TO GET TO CLASS” or IWULANIHTRJPZTGTC for short or ZOMBIES for shorter. There hasn’t been much progress but I’m working on it.

Last time I tried to learn dvorak, it was a complete failure. I was typing way too slow and I had work to complete so I just gave up on it. I’ve decided to try and learn it again mainly because I was completely bored out of my mind but also cause I’ve been starting to feel some pain in my fingers. Dvorak is supposed to be “healthier” for your fingers or something cause you don’t have to move your fingers as much.

I already had my desktop keyboard switched to dvorak. I wanted to seriously learn it this time so I even converted my Macbook’s keys to dvorak. Wasn’t too hard. Just popped them off with a tiny screw driver and put them back in the correct order. Now people who want to use my computer won’t be able to because all the keys are in the wrong places. Awesome!

I’ve been playing typeracer everyday since I’ve switched over to speed up my typing. Right now I’m typing at around 40 wpm (vs 80wpm when I was using qwerty) which isn’t too bad considering I’ve only been using dvorak for four days. But I feel like a noob cause I have to keep looking at the keys. The most annoying thing about dvorak is that all the shortcut keys are now on the other side of the keyboard. Ctrl-c, ctrl-v, ctrl-s, ctrl-z are all on the right side. Also I keep typing “ass” when I want to type “all” because the ’s’ is now where the ‘l’ used to be. Kind of annoying

That’s all for now. Off to play some more typeracer. I’ll revisit this when my typing speed reaches 100+ wpm.

I just got a new set of headphones to replace the ones I broke the other day. They’re the Audio Technica ATH-AD700’s and they are awesome. They look a little weird with the purple/pink colored metal sides but they’re light, comfortable, and sound great.

I got ‘em for $81 at Amazon. Great deal. I love buying myself presents for birthdays.
