I have so much to blog about

…but no patience to type it. Why? Because when Izz is asleep or feeding — laptop time — I normally have her in one arm or the other, and am therefore reduced to typing using:

on screen keyboard

Note, in fact, the pressed keys: ALT + PSC (print screen) Also, the typo, in the URL of this entry…

Don’t you bloody dare laugh. :P

Warning

This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.

As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.

Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

    I laughed. I’m immature like that. :3

    I’d have no patience with a keyboard like that either. I’ll be taking far better care of this keyboard now I know the consequences if I break it. xD

    Tjaa I think now I understand where you are coming… That’s just masochistic!

    Find a scribe, or dictate to Karl. I can imagine you lying back on a couch feeding Izzy, lazily dictating to a furiously writing scribe.

    And I just bothered to type all this out on my iPod with one hand. It’s surprisingly easy. Solutiontwo: get a hand sized keyboard.

    Get yourself an external keyboard, you silly poopoo. :D Either that or I’ll bring one next week!

    at what age can you start teaching her to type, so she can do it for you whilst on your lap? hehe

    I’m slow enough when I try to type when I’m eating, but an on-screen keyboard? I feel like it would take me really long to just find the letters!

    I enjoyed your Tweet about trying to type by clicking the OSK in your blog. :D

    Oh, that’s a win for sure.

    I like the fact that it says "bksp" instead of the ?, because the first time I used a keyboard I had no idea what that big arrow did. (And the "pup".)

    I remember when my keyboard broke and I had to use one of those x_x

    You need that voice activated typing program Jem, then you could dictate it all and the pc would do the work for you :o)
    (I believe it’s called Dragon somthing or other)

    Oh my goodness that is quite hilarious! Glad to hear from you, though!

    Nah I didn’t laugh. I was going to look "bogging" in the dictionary. I’m so behind on slangs :P

    I know this damn keyboard thing. I have used it when my keyboard decided to have some Pepsi to drink, and it is a pain to use.

    Ok. I admit. I laughed with the bogging.

    Well. At least I’m honest, right? :D
