[ale] Today I put the keys back in order

[Richard Bronosky]

After typing incorrectly for 25 years I finally got serious about
touch typing. I took my favorite orthopedic keyboard (from datadesk)
and sanded the ink off of the keys. It was the most miserable 2 weeks
of my career, but I learned very quickly. In the following years I
noticed that my performance on company issued laptops was terrible. I
switch to a regular keyboard (which I also sanded) at my desk and
found that I still had my speed. (I also found that I wasn't nearly as
uncomfortable since learning to type correctly, so I've kept it.) The
problem was the temptation to look at the keys on the laptop. I
couldn't fight it. I couldn't sand them. I tried stickers, then
white-out, but they failed. The solution was to pull the keys off,
scramble them and pop then back on. You just have to make sure you
transpose the F and J keys because of the nubs. I did that for a year
and think I'm ready to try the temptress again. I'd suggest this
exercise to anytone you know who REALLY wants to be an elite hacker.
