Nine-fingered Frodo Bah. Onion-chopping incompetence last night has left me trying to type without using my left index finger, at least for a day or so until I'm sure healing is well under way. Most of my typing style has adapted reasonably well (I often think this sort of flexibility is an advantage of having learned to type simply by typing a lot instead of doing one of those formal home-keys courses), though it's slowing me down noticeably so I have more of an incentive to engage brain before putting fingers to keyboard. The really hard thing, though, is passwords. Everything else I can think about how to type if in doubt, but passwords are mostly stored in my brain as muscle memory, which isn't directly applicable so I have to painstakingly translate the stored muscle movements back into characters. |
