WPM

[tinyjo]

So, I haven't tried WhatPulse yet but it did inspire me to do something I've been meaning to do for a while which is download a little gizmo which sits in my system tray and tracks my WPM. I've often vaguely wondered about it so I thought it'd be fun. I'm currently averaging 62 - I'm sure I can do better than that! It's too tiny to have statistics or anything like that, but it is quite groovy.

Edit: Hah! Told you I could do better - I was up to 92 WPM while filing a bug report just now :)

Yeah, I'm just a well-practiced amateur. I use keyboards all day every day, but I never had any training in the 'proper' finger positions for typing, so really whichever finger feels closest gets the job although all of them tend to get used at one point or another.
