See, I’ve been meaning to do the lessons daily, but considering how boring the first one was I haven’t bothered yet…

I just did this at Act of War so apparently that was my warm-up as I got 9 more words a minute here than I did there. Yay! You’re my good luck charm Cat. :)

I did it again Cat, that was me posting as expressvideos. The only problem with sorting out blogs for other people on wordpress is they take over your logins. lol

It’s just impressive how much time I could save typing properly! Maybe you should do the lessons on there as well.

By: ish

Gee, and I thought I used to type really fast. I got a 48 when I did it the first time and 60 when I did it the second time. I don’t have any excuses though, maybe I’m just not fast enough.

By: Cat

Cat — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 06:02:53 +0000

Becky: I had that as well which is why mine was a bit slower.

So 70 ish is my target then! I’ve decided to doat least one of their really boring lessons a day. Watch this space.

I typed 47 words per minute with no wrong words. However I did make some mistakes and deleted them and typed again before getting to next word, so it didnt register them as fails.

By: Cat

Cat — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 19:56:25 +0000

Someone actually did worse than me!! [Sorry, Bobby]

And I spend all day on IM, yet my typing isn’t that great.

This whole thing very much reminds me of:

The USB Hamster Wheel is an utter delight. Plug it into your USB port, load the software from the CD provided and get typing. As you type, the hamster gets running, spinning the hamster wheel around in the process – the faster you type, the faster he runs. This demented rodent sent shrieks of laughter around the office when we tested it, and is the ultimate parody of modern society.

I updated my blog entry to include Samantha’s results. She did it three times and got the following Words Per Minute: 111, 103, and 110.

She definitely chats on AOL too much. Since she doesn’t work, that’s pretty much all she does.

210 characters per minute, 38 correct words and 0 wrong words.

I clearly don’t type enough. It was interesting to try, though!

By: Cat

Cat — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 18:31:39 +0000

Well, I’m only just over 100 characters off of you guys! Got loads to improve then..

I got 71 but again like Abby. Did this just after coming in from the cold so fingers still slightly stiff and not connecting brain with words.

You type 366 characters per minute
You have 70 correct words and
you have 1 wrong words

I got 70 words a minute, which is what I expected since I haven’t even warmed up today. If I had been typing more today, it would’ve been higher.

The one wrong word was a fluke. I hit the spacebar while typing “now”, so it ended up submitting it as “no”.
