A pause is needed ......

Unfortunatelly I am forced to stop training of dvorak due to work.
I leave then my first impressions.
  • Changing layout (qwerty-dvorak-qwerty) doesn't seems to affect the typing inprovment.
  • Some letters are hard to find: wsxz are "in the wrong side" of the keyboard.
  • Is important to keep in mind that the keyboard is really separated by vowels and consoants. That's easy to forget and get frustraded seeking the letters. If you keep that in mind, you'll start notice that u rarely move your left hand (you do it mostly for "shift" "," and "."
I've decided that i should get a new keyboard to train ... stickers in the laptop starts to get fuzzy pretty fast, specially if you start typing in an average speed, that happens when you change to qwerty layout all of a sudden.

The requirements of the new keyboard: must be usb type, so I can use it in the laptop, should be cheap, so it won't hurt too much if I want to swap keys order and it breaks.
I choosed a genius slimstar. I should get it tomorrow.
According to vendor it has the laptop kind of keys. I guess it should look like this one in the picture.
I'll keep posting creating logs for a future reference to me and for whoever gets interested.
