    Spider, with your 10 finger and 10 toes probably yield about 150 w.p.m. ,how about that?

By Spider on Sunday, October 19, 2008 - 08:26 pm:

    I think my toes would gum up the works.

    How fast do you type?

By Dr Pepper on Sunday, October 19, 2008 - 08:30 pm:

    Well 40-55 w.p.m., I wasn't that good in my high school days.

    49 words a minute, 2 mistakes. not bad for having no form.

    87, 2 errors
    82, 1 error

    96, one error. But I think my natural typing speed is probably a little bit less frenzied.

By agatha on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 12:59 am:

    65, no errors. Hmmmph. I'm pretty sure I type faster than that.

By sarah on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 10:59 am:


    i'm not sure how accurate it can be, because in real life you don't type random words like that, you type sentences with punctuation.


By platypus on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 11:56 am:

    Well that, and they are commonly used words, so people who type a lot are probably going to be familiar with typing them.

By agatha on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 12:46 pm:

    I TYPE A LOT. hmmmph.

By Nate on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 12:48 pm:

    and it doesn't find your average wpm speed. just how many of _these_ words can you type in one minute.

    i know this is the wrong thread, but Nate, what's your new job? anything good?



By Nate on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 10:25 pm:

    i haven't started yet, but i think it will be good. you get a lot of time off, and massages every other week.

By sarah on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 11:11 pm:


    are you working at a spa?


By Nate on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 12:01 am:

    no, it's a tech company.

By sarah on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 11:02 pm:


    what's up with the art house / website stuff?



By Nate on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 11:20 pm:

    it stalled a little when my partner's wife had a baby. we're working on some updates right now. two of the artists are putting finishing touches on new albums.

    and some secret plans.
