Dvorakification

This just in from the because why not depart­ment, I’m con­vert­ing my key­boards to and teach­ing myself to use the Dvorak key­board lay­out. Supposedly Dvorak is faster and loss likely to cause carpal tun­nel but I’m not try­ing it for those rea­sons; I’m try­ing Dvorak because it fits into my ongo­ing pol­icy of cul­ti­vat­ing eccen­tric­i­ties quite well.

So far, it’s mostly just annoy­ing not know­ing how to type any­more but, even so, I’m start­ing to get the hang of some of the vow­els and more com­monly used keys. Aside from my eccen­tric­ity goals, I’m inclined to believe that there might just be some­thing to this crazy lay­out. That said, I do have one big com­plaint already, I can’t use a mouse with my right hamd and press Ctrl-X/C/V with my left hand on its home row.
