Why (ouch) Upper (ouch) Case (ouch) sucks today

I mashed the little finger on my right hand last night and tore off about half the nail. Unfortunately, that's the finger I use for the Shift key. :mad:

Know anybody who's got a good C# to FORTRAN converter?

delete this;No, but there is a guide here on Converting C# to COBOL[^] - that's all SHOUTY as well!

I'm originally a hunt-and-peck typist(*). While I use most of the fingers on both hands, I 'prefer' specific fingers for certain keys. Interestingly, my right hand is more flexible on the keyboard even though I write left-handed. (*) My mother is a classically trained typist who could manage 90 words per minute on an IBM Selectric typewriter. She can't watch me type on a computer keyboard without turning a bit green :-D.

Same here. Shifting with the right hand just feels wrong for some reason :)
On the other hand, you have different fingers. - Steven Wright

Sure it. Practical, in the sense of making the Powers That Be rethink the office environment.

Yup, although I'm a collaborationist leftie. I use scissors with my right hand, fire a pistol right-handed, etc. I throw a baseball or swing a tennis racket with my left. The deciding factor seems to be precision tasks I do with my left hand, strength tasks with my right. I've measured my grip strength at the gym, and my right hand is measurably stronger than my left.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
