Not being able to touch type induced such nerd rage in me a few weeks back that I said ‘Fuck it, cold turkey, no more looking at the damn keyboard!’ I mean, I already in principal knew how to touch type - which fingers where and so forth, but I was more of a multi-finger looking at the keyboard type typer. Got sick of typing shit then looking up and having to go back to fix mistakes or worse, finding some process had taken focus away from my text entry.
Less than 3 weeks later, I can effectively type as quickly as before, when factoring total editing time, with obvious room for improvement.
I actually had a lead programmer tell me “you type fast” while screen-sharing with him to track down some weird nonsense in the VS debugger a few months back. I was pretty impressed with myself, let me tell you.
My 14-year-old daughter has a friend that for whatever reason MUST touch the screen with her greasy fingers whenever they are using my computer. And I’m not talking about a laptop – I’m speaking of my brand-new 31" curved desktop monitor that I bought instead of, I dunno, a new swimming pool or something. I get home from work and sit down to do bills and there are a dozen little oily smudges all over my screen. It’s maddening.
Had a boss that would do this with his pen. He finally realized it wasn’t the best idea when he drew a big line across my monitor.
My new entry: A combination of Infosec awareness is still poor enough/people are still gullible enough to click links from unknown senders regarding credit cards they never opened on their work email accounts. Needless to say department productivity has been… down.
My father recieved an e-mail from someone he knew, but did not regularly communicate with. It contained a message saying the e-mail could not be opened, and to click on a link to read. The link then directed him to input his g-mail password.

No you fucking don’t, otherwise you wouldn’t be telling us about it the week before it launches.
