Jack.is [a] Typist

Meaning that I enjoy typing, besides doing it anyway as a matter of course.

I use an IBM Model M (1391401) keyboard and a Dvorak layout.

Stuff to Read

Interview with the Typists

Statistics

Stats from Typeracer updated every 100 races.

The table got way too large, so I've moved the full table of stats beginning at race 1000 to All Statistics. Go there to see the full table; I'll list the current 1,000-group below (when I reach x,000, retire (x-1),000 through (x-1),900 to the full table, and begin again with x,000 here).

Screenshots

Date Avg. Speed (last 10 races) Avg. Speed (all time) Last Race Best Race Races Completed Races Won Rank (WPM Percentile)
14FEB2010 132 WPM 119.285 WPM 138 WPM 172 WPM 6000 4139 99.9%
02MAR2010 131 WPM 119.511 WPM 130 WPM 172 WPM 6100 4210 99.9%

Screenshots

Because an image is worth a thousand protests that I really did type that fast.

Screenshots for races 1,000-5,000 have been zipped and are available at /files/typeracer5000.zip. Screenshots for 5,100-10,000 will be posted and archived at 10,000.

I can barely type 60WPM, without fucking up. Nice.

You use Dvorak right? I've always wanted to find some Dvorak typists (besides myself) in order to crunch some numbers comparing Dvorak to Qwerty. Msg me.

The buckling-spring patent: http://www.google.com/patents?vid=4118611

http://gdgt.com/ibm/model-m/specs/ is all I could find for specs without looking awfully hard.
