<0> That can't be fast
<1> various disabled people use it
<2> i'm only disabled by 4 fingers :)
<1> its pretty cool.. with practice, you can go fairly quickly
<1> its mostly for people with no fingers at all
<0> I would rather type with one hand, it isn't that bad ; I frequently do for small chunks of text
<2> how many wpm?
<1> beats me.. try it and see. its a small download.
<2> ok
<1> for windows, http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/download/win_nt/4.0/Dasher%204.0.2.exe
<2> it reminds me of the days back when I was learning how to type at age 8
<2> pecking, not looking
<2> quick enough, but not fast
<1> my current typing system is a progression of hunt and peck.
<1> much to my parent's consternation.. everyone was always trying to get me to do whatever stupid way asdf jkl;
<2> i learned how to type my way
<2> but im limited now
<2> so i am probably on par with you except for the hunt part
<2> peck peck peck i feel like a chicken
<1> so your condition is not treatable?
<2> no
<2> time
<1> perhaps an amputation would help?
<2> and that's a maybe
<2> sure, pecdk with my elbow hah
<1> transplant?
<1> akill would love to donate
<1> you know, two kidneys, two arms.. everyone has one they can donate
<2> got a spare arm a?
<3> noooo
<1> yeah he's got one.. ill put him down for a kidney and a lung too
<2> haha
<2> i had an mri
<2> it's limited to the arm
<1> supposedly you can get good money selling body parts in asia
<2> suppsedly the myelin has degraded
<2> around the nerve
<1> ah, i know what you're talking about. very unfortunate.
<2> causing a weakness of signal to the muscles
<2> takes time to regereate
<2> could be months
<2> *shrug*
<2> i can peck
<2> regenerate
<2> it's also known as "wrist drop"
<2> or "saturday night palsy"
<2> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrist_drop
<1> sort of like a pimp limp
<2> I just got my occupatinal brace yesterday
<2> but yes, limp
<2> only full strength in everything else
<1> well, if the girls ask you, just say you got shot in iraq or something
<2> if i turn my hand upside down, i have full strength
<1> well then.. put your keyboard upside down
<2> i'm married, but i'll keep that in mind :)
<2> i thought about that
<2> and i am working on a design
<0> Where does the "saturday night palsy" come from? I just don't see the relation
<1> you'd want the split kind of keyboard, where its two separate halves
<2> i can only use my 3-4-5 fingers upside down
<2> on my right hand
<2> malo
<2> search google for saturday night palsy
<2> and radial
<0> Yes, but I meant the name "saturday night palsy"
<2> saturday night palsy is a layman's term for the condititon
<0> I know what a radial never palsy is, approximatively
<1> saturday night fever?
<0> Yes yes, but where does it come from? :) Why is it named that way?
<2> and relates to somone who was bent over a chair or a bench for the night
<2> after a heavy night of drinking
<2> not my case, but result is the same
<2> on the outer area of the arm
<2> where the radial nerve crosses
<2> almost underarm
<2> it's a layman term
<0> Ah I see, thanks
<2> check this out: http://www.navchetan.com/dynamic-radial-palsy-splint.htm
<2> I CURRENTLY HAVE A FIXED SPLINT
<2> it'd help if i had my caps offf
<4> _Vile, what caused this.
<2> dunno, i woke up like this
<4> how long ago?
<2> which is why they did an mri of my neck/head looking for tumors
<2> july 3
<2> they think i slept on it, but accordingly i would have to sleep on a hard edge for this to occur
<2> i have another appointment in a week to see progress
<2> will be getting something called an emg at that time
<2> electrodes hooked to different nerves to pinpoint the damaged area
<1> jeez ill have to sleep carefully from now on
<2> not much good that will do, but *shrug*
<2> haha
<2> my arm feels fine, i just can't use anything except my index finger
<2> so i can type, just reverted back to pecking
<2> writing/signing my name is fun
<2> my writing, oddly, is actually neater now though
<1> so im guessing it wasnt too neat to begin with
<2> ;)
<2> i use all upper case and am careful with what i write now'
<2> slower, but *shrug*
<2> my signature, is basically a scribble and has always been, so i've already gotten that mastered
<1> yeah me too
<2> it's amazing how much i relied on one hand
<2> never noticed
<2> anyway im hitting the sack, ya'll have a good night
<1> alright man
<1> ciao
<2> ciao
<5> calc paste
<6> Please paste your code (or a complete example that demonstrates your problem) here: http://rafb.net/paste/
<7> calc c++
<6> <Sauvin> "Hey, I heah you C++ doan' much like wimmens. Fayact iz, I heah it doan' even much like PEEPLE!"
<7> haha
<8> calc C
<6> C is the language of the gods.
<9> ;
<9> in this monospace font, , and . are totally indistinguinshinguinglbe
<9> what the hell vim freezes now and them
<10> Indistinguishable?
<9> inextinguinshambles
<9> yes
<9> in dis xtinguinshinble
<9> undescribable, in short
<11> :)
<9> stupid cable. nothing to see
<12> anyone on here?
<9> ;
<9> no
<12> I just discovered Windbg has a USB option
<12> so, curious
<9> my xp sort of deteiorated today
<9> reason unknown
<12> in what way?
<9> task manager does not work, and usb cable modem is not recognized
<12> task manager doesn't work, that looks like spyware/virus
<12> go to c:\windows\system32 and copy taskmgr.exe to fubar.exe
<12> if fubar.exe loads ok, that could be it
<13> myrddin: You can't set that topic yourself :)
<14> doh
<14> thanks. ;)
<13> + I had to add all the languages-that-nobody-uses you missed
<14> lol
<14> good to see you're on the ball
<13> hund: Got that limbo book of yours yet?
<15> SgtUnix: hi, how goes it?
<16> SgtUnix: Yup.
<13> hund: Pumped out some Limbo code yet?
<16> The problem with Inferno/Limbo is that it's only 90% done, and the people maintaining it make enough money so they don't have to do the other 90%.
<13> kawfee: fine.
