Dvorak ~ wazzit??
April 4th 2008 16:20
A demonic fiend, in the clever guise of a friend, paid me a pre-coffee visit the other morning sometime around the crack of noon. He knows better than to disturb an insomniac who’s finally managed to knock himself into unconscious bliss. The Cretan is a sick twisted cyber geek who needs to find a blow up doll.
After magnanimously inviting him into my home without inflicting great mayhem upon his person, I excused myself to answer a pressing morning summons to relieve my bladder in the privacy of my own litter box enclosure. “No sweat.” he hissed in my general direction, “can I use the computer for a minute?”
Without thinking, I granted him permission and retired to that quiet place to listen to the soothing sounds of water splashing playfully against water. A favorite pass time of mine at the crack of noon. When I returned from my meditations, he informed me that he’d found what he needed on the internet and was leaving, and did so, in a blink he was gone. Phffft, poof, disappeared like a puff of smoke.
Odd behavior even for him, I was thinking, but hey-I’ve a blog to write. I sat down at the keyboard and typed in yd. urnnr,cbi m.ooai. What the hell? That isn’t right, so I went three out of four rounds with the computer and gave up. I called the demon spawn of a friend, who was already laughing when he answered the phone, what the @#$%! did you do to my machine?
Did you know that every computer that uses Microsoft has the ability to select another keyboard style? It’s called the Dvorak layout. You can find this layout in your control panel, ensconced in the Regional and Language icon, under Languages – Details – Settings and then activate it. Which my buddy did without sharing!
After I Googled Dvorak and learned that it is more efficient than a qwerty layout and requires less physical effort (you know I was all over that like a starving dog on a bone), I left it; you can switch between the two with a mouse click. Now wasn’t that special?
Well, I'm off to go flatten all of the tires on that crank yankers vehicle and hide the keys to his van.
Don’t worry; I’ll leave a message explaining where I hid his keys.
Yup, I’ll write him a letter explaining that I did it, by pretending that the Dvorak keyboard is typing qwerty style; he should have loads of fun decoding that message.
Have a great day.

That's one relearning experience I can do without, oh, silly, trusting, one, yes fiend was the right word, hope the practical joker trips over his own pranks.
