Learning new stuff

2025-08-31

I am writing this on my phone so it may have extra typos, sorry. Our oldest is trying to go to sleep so I don’t have access to my upstairs computer.

But this gives me a chance to learn a skill, I am trying to learn drag typing and a few months ago I really really sucked at it. It was much slower than typing. And I am slowly getting there, but it sucks, and sometimes it types the wrong word over and over. Like if I try to type boob it will often type Bob. It doesn’t recognize the second o no matter how hard I try.

Let me try something, for the rest of this paragraph and not fix any bad auto correct. Hmm what should I write here? I wish I knew the beginning of Shakespeare to put in here. To be or not to be that’s is the question. Something about the mortal coil, we are all going to shuffle off of the end of it. It was the best of times and the worst of times. That is Sichuan dickens. Man I do missed reading sometimes and need to do more of it.

OK that actually went pretty well. I actually think short words are harder than the long words for drag typing.

But I see why old people stop learning stuff, it is hard and slow to learn this skill. And I got a ton of other skills to learn as well. We will see how much learning I will do and when I give up and become stuck in my ways.
