Day 163: In the slaughterhouse all corpses smell the same

Sorry for the blatent ph plagerism, but it makes a good title and I've been wanting to use it for ages. Also, as ever, apologies for a blog that has been rathar too quiet of late. The Bjork Bjiggler Blog Reading Society have been getting very restless lately and dark rumblings have been heard eminating from their midsts, so I feel it is my duty to supply some more fodder upon which they can engourge themselves until the next posting sees the light of day, which I can assure you will not be too far into the future. Our good friend and contributor is currenly in France, probably, spending his time not smoking Gauloise and ensuring that he has accumulated his usual amount of thought provoking incidents (often referred to as "pish and drivel") to enthrall us all with upon his return.

I find that there is nothing more able to throttle the flow of creative blog writing than the ability of the modern keyboard to screw around with what you are typing so that what ends up on the cscreen often bear no resleblance to what yuou actually typed. How mant times do you find yourslef typing a four letter word only to find that the kwyboard has inserted 3 ro 4 extra characters. The oether favourate tricjk it has is to transpose two of the letters you have typed at random. The result is that each time you do a post you have to spend more time correcting the errors introduced by the keyboard that it took to writing the thig in the first place. The other thing is that the keyboard seems to be able to detect how much your typing is improving and introduces more errors as you get better. When I first started typ[ing on a ciompuetr keyboard I was quict slow, but didn't make many typinfg errors, but now my keyboard skills ahve improved to such an extent that althoygh I am typing at a speed that would put many a touch typist to shame, my postings are just littered with errors and additional, but unwanted characters.
