I am very happy to hear.
And I can guess what has happened, due to changes in your .sig.
Of course, after a long, long weekend here I am, in a computer lab ready to finally write a long response....and...well, hmmmm.
Do you still need it?
Although the part that I think is funny, is that cooling off next to me is a container of instant noodles.
I believe that was a part of the conversation that you were having with Seth.

Otherwise, from my experience I have found that blatantly showing up the teacher usually results in something bad happening to oneself eventually (if you care about your academics). Maybe teachers back off these days, but they didn't when I was in high school, and they most certainly do not in college. Of course, these are Ph.Ds, and students did harass my wife when she was a G.A. Maybe its just the 'crowd' I hang out with.
And you get to do Flash/Computer work as a freshman in High School?

The last thing I got to be trained on, was how to use a correction tape to clean up a typewriter mistake.
Thank goodness though, since QWERTY keyboards are still used on almost all computers today. BAck in the 90's you could make good money just typing things for people.
History lesson: The typewriter is about 100 years old. Its keyboard selection was to slow people down so they didn't jam the keys (ever run across an old, old typewriter? Most kids when they do mash a whole lot of keys at once, and the hammers lock together. In actuality its setup so that common two letter keystrokes activate hammers on opposite sides of the keyboard. But that's too much to say, and it does slow one down a bit. See more information here:
http://www.mit.edu/~jcb/Dvorak/). So if you ever wonder why they have the $%^$%^ layout that they did, its because of the old needs of typewriters. Why else put 'A' on a pinky finger. Notice how there are no vowels where the pointer finger of each hand are - and that's where we'd get the fastest typing.
If you want a keyboard that ergonomical and place the most-used keys in the center, its called a Dvorak keyboard
Although there appears to be different setups for it. (still going back to do day where it was assumed to type with only one hand, and use the mouse in the other. More for programming, then word processing, but that's another story from 1968)
Hmmm, another Tangent there.
So my question is: Kate, every hear of a Qwerty keyboard before?
