I&#8217;m never sure if you&#8217;re supposed to take shots of liqueurs or if you&#8217;re supposed to drink them straight. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d want to do a shot alone, and Disaronno is really tasty, so I figured I&#8217;d use it as a night cap. Anyway, it&#8217;s almost 1:30 and tomorrow I have a doctors appointment at 8 so I should probably get to bed really soon. However, I&#8217;m having a hard time getting myself to hit the hay since I&#8217;ve been almost finished with my <a href=\"http:\/\/patorjk.com\/keyboardlayoutanalyzer\">Keyboard Layout Analyzer<\/a> for a few days now (I decided to rename it from Typing Analyzer since its really analyzing the layout and not the typing).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had a lot of ideas over the past two weeks, and rather than go in depth on every detail I&#8217;ll give you a really quick run down of this app&#8217;s updates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pie chart statistics were added for finger, hand, or keyboard row usage. The pie charts were created using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liquidx.net\/plotkit\/\">Plotkit<\/a>, an awesome javascript library that uses <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mochikit.com\/\">Mochikit<\/a>. I don&#8217;t know much about Mochikit, but according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/trends?q=mochikit\">Google Trends<\/a> and its website&#8217;s own lack of updates, its future doesn&#8217;t look too promising. Which is a shame, since Plotkit is really cool.<\/li>\n<li>The hot spot visualization was fixed for IE6 users. Apparently <a href=\"http:\/\/24ways.org\/2007\/supersleight-transparent-png-in-ie6\">IE6 does not like transparent PNG files<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>A tab view was set up to make viewing the data easier. The tab control comes from Yahoo&#8217;s kick ass <a href=\"http:\/\/developer.yahoo.com\/yui\/\">YUI<\/a> library.<\/li>\n<li>A fade-in\/fade-out effect was added when processing data. I figured this way of displaying information would make more sense to the user. I noticed when I showed my parents to app my mom didn&#8217;t realize she needed to scroll down to see the output. This feature doesn&#8217;t work 100% of IE yet, but I&#8217;m deciding it works &#8220;good enough&#8221; for now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To see the app just click the following link: <a href=\"http:\/\/patorjk.com\/keyboardlayoutanalyzer\/\">Keyboard Layout Analyzer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Let me know if you have any problems or have any suggestions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just finished a very small glass of Disaronno, an Italian liqueur.
