Sure, I think a QA team writing tests is good. I maybe think QA teams doing exploratory testing is good. The rows and rows of QA in cube farms doing regression testing? That is not good.
I was just kicking some butt in there with the green team.
Wonderful game by the way. However, when the game finishes I get a messy overlay of texts all in one place (assuming it's the name of each member of the team)?
More and more places that use C# are opening up to using F# where it makes sense. So any time you see C# in a job description that sounds interesting it's worth asking about F#.
I just noticed the Shadow of the Beast demo (SOTB), this is one of the quintessential Amiga games. Wonderful art and music (also rock-hard difficulty).
unfortunately, since that article was written, the guy doing the porting has slowed right down. The most up to date info can be found in the EAB forum thread
For anyone who has taken the time to learn Dvorak: From the point you began to learn it, how long did it take to become more proficient at Dvorak than QWERTY? How much more proficient do you consider yourself to be at typing as a result?
Took about a year to work most of the mistakes out. Lots of typos. An unimaginable amount of typos. I don't consider myself any more proficient. Typing dvorak is a bit different: I type word by word, instead of letter by letter. I still type on qwerty (who doesn't, at work?) but that feels more like stringing together an infinite sequence of letters. Dvorak tends to make words a bit easier to type in single fluid motions. So when I actually start typing fast in dvorak it gets crazy fast pretty quickly. Hence the typos.
It took at least a few years before I could type dvorak with just my right hand, which is tricky seeing the other letters when I'm staring at a qwerty keyboard.
It took me a week to get to 70wpm or so. I can do 100+ sustained now with not much fatigue. I had been getting hand pains in qwerty, so I switched completely during a paper in high school and haven't looked back.
I can type nearly as fast in qwerty as I used to, but it is uncomfortable, awkward, and I do make errors often.
