Oh well, I think this project is one of those ones that is neat to make, but isn&#8217;t really that useful. Hopefully it can give passer-byers a couple minutes worth of amusement or possibly get someone to check out an alternative keyboard layout.<\/p>\n<p>Besides questioning the relevance of what I&#8217;ve been doing, I&#8217;ve also made a few updates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Added &#8220;Left Hand Dvorak&#8221; and &#8220;Right Hand Dvorak&#8221; layouts<\/li>\n<li>Updated layout graphics<\/li>\n<li>Added the Shift and Tab keys into the calculations<\/li>\n<li>Fixed the IE issues (I&#8217;ve gotten in the bad habit of only checking my work in FireFox)<\/li>\n<li>Added a personalized keyboard layout to the output<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I stole the last idea from <a href=\"http:\/\/inshame.blogspot.com\/\">Tritonio<\/a>, who created his own app for <a href=\"http:\/\/inshame.blogspot.com\/2007\/11\/easy-keyboard-layout.html\">layout generation<\/a>. I thought the idea was really really cool so I put it in (I&#8217;ll make sure and give you a link on the app&#8217;s page, once I straighten out the &#8220;Other Typing Resources&#8221; section). Right now the generated layouts are kind of silly, though they have some semblance of being correct. <\/p>\n<p>I aim to finish up this app next week. I&#8217;m going to tweak a few things and then add in some stats and pie charts on finger usage. After that I&#8217;m going to move onto a new web app. After a brainstorming session earlier this month I&#8217;ve got a collection of neat ideas I want to explore. Part of me wants to do a web app a month until the end of the year, but I don&#8217;t want to set goals I&#8217;m not sure I can complete. I&#8217;ll do the next one and then decide where to go from there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I was thinking to myself today, &#8220;When would I ever use the Typing Analzyer?&#8221; The only situation I can think of would be if I got into some kind of argument over which keyboard layout was best, and even then I think I&#8217;d be kind of hesitant to play that card.
