February 05, 20042nd AnniversaryToday is the second anniversary of a major change in my life. After spending almost 20 years of working at a keyboard as a self-taught, really fast, but only two-finger typist, I went cold turkey and taught myself the touch-type. It was pretty painful at first, but now it's the only way I can type. And although my "first draft" typing is still not as fast as it used to be -- I was a VERY fast hunt and peck typist -- when you figure in the time spent correcting mistakes, I am much faster now. New tricks. Posted by jghiii at February 5, 2004 02:37 PMComments

There, there. I'm sure we can overlook your weight problem. It's all What made you decide you were a "fat typist?" And are you sure this is an improvement from being fat?

Now there is a typo that Freud would love. You need more exercise. I suggest 30 minutes of vigorously shaking it like a poloroid picture.

And hey -- no editing to make Dave and my comments seem out of sync.

Huh?

Yea, I'm with you, Jack! I'm not seeing it... I'm looking for a typo where you forgot the "s" in "fast"... doesn't seem to be there. Unless it's a phonetic joke... did you have a speech impediment as a child?!!!

Hey, wait a second! I know what's up. JACK! You changed the text! And Sherman even asked you not to! I should have known. I think I just got punk'd. Hmph.

Okay, George Orwell.

Actually, the original typo was: "I'm a sad pathetic man living with my parents."

Uhhhhh, Dave's not here, man.
Posted by: sherman on February 5, 2004 04:26 PM
Dave was here. Damn you, Jack. Stop editing. Dave revealed this touching story about how Jack was a little porker as a child, and how none of Jack's clothes would work as hand-me-downs unless both Dave and Scott wore them at once.

I certainly didn't edit any "Dave" thing.

Spoken like a 1984 Big Brother. It's not the Eurasians that our enemy anymore -- it's the Africans!!!!! You have no credibility, fat boy.

I have no idea what you all are talking about...
Posted by: Jack Hodgson on February 6, 2004 02:04 PM
Yeah Rick. This is my website, yet the Comments area gives me that feeling all the time!
Posted by: sherman on February 6, 2004 02:05 PM
Of course you don't. It's this stupid reversal. And here's another example of why it's bad. Normally as I type in this comments box, I can just scroll up a little and see the most recent comment and respond to it, but now I would have to scroll ALL the way up to the top to remember your actual wording, Rick.
Truly Orwellian.

Oh, well. Sherm. Orwell's that ends well. Or something like that. Post a comment
