Switching to Dvorak keyboard
I’m switching my keyboard layout to Dvorak. It’s been a little frustrating at first, but I’m starting to get the hang of it.
First, I took at extra keyboard at work and switched all of the keys around. It’s kinda ghetto because the keys are banked at different angles based on what row they’re on. When I switched them to different rows, the keys from different rows have different angles and they look a little funny next to each other. I can’t tell any difference between them, though. I do miss the bump on the F and J keys that tell my index fingers where to rest, however.
The hardest part has been unmapping the letter S from left-ring-finger and using right-pinky-finger instead.

A small drop of black or clear fingernail polish can be used to recreate the home row bumps. Did that for friend who had a ghetto keyboard without them.
