trivial
I am not a most excellent typer or speller. This something that I spend a lot of time dealing with. Not just the hours I spend typing this blog, but I am a programmer…actually I don’t like to say I am a “programmer”. I prefer “software developer”…I develop software. I don’t really know what the fucking difference is, but it might have something to do with me not going to school for it and stuff I just started doing it. It also might be related to doing more than just “writing” a program. And to be honest I don’t enjoy writing the code as much as I like designing the program. Figuring out how to put blocks of logic and shit together to do the job that needs to get done. Plus I have to create the user interface. 95% of the user interface is created by moving the controls around on the screen with the mouse…this is not “programming” it is “developing”…fuck you it makes sense to me.
But I digress…so I CAN type and don’t do too bad when you consider that I got a C in my required HS typing class, then spent many years looking at my hands to type. But I am plagued by mistakes, my backspace key has wear marks. OK I realize that doesn’t make sense…I am just trying to make the point that I hit backspace a lot.
Anyway I also spend some time on the internet, and I have been known to spend a few hours of the day in a chat room. (fuck off…yeah you…I don’t want to hear any of your shit right now ok…) So sometime in this chat room we play trivia. Now I have a mind that soaks up stupid useless shit. Shit that has no practical application except for playing trivia. So I usually perform pretty well at trivia, but playing trivia in chat presents a unique problem for me. See in order to score points you have to be the first one to answer the question. Fine, but to answer the question you have to type the answer…spelled correctly…and when I try to type fast I type worser. So I know a lot of answers that I struggle to type and by the time I have typed the trivia bot has given a clue that allows the other people to figure out the answer that I knew without a clue but couldn’t fucking spell…fuckers!
I hate them…cause they can type fast…and spell.
I took a typing class in high school.
Never thought I would use typing.
We spent most of the day HaX0rz’ing the typewriters. It was cool cause we’d change the letters around. All the people in the class we’re like OMFG and LOL’zrz! and they were pretty sure we were all 1337 and shit.
