    After spending ~2 weeks on dvorak I am pretty frustrated at copy paste cut etc but cannot face going back to qwerty. Finding the /. article on colemak I decided to give it a try. After installing it on my desktop that has Arch Linux on it I'm just starting some ktouch excercises and, well here I am =D It's not really bad as I'm in holidays, and I have got the patience after learning dvorak. It's kinda crazy having three layouts in my head though :P

    Watch this space for updates!

    You'll pretty likely find you learn Colemak a lot quicker than Dvorak too. It took me about three days of evenings only on Colemak to get as far as I got after three weeks of cold turkey on Dvorak. The fact that you have some time to spare to switch totally also should give you a pretty good boost.

    Day two - I'm getting ~14 wpm at the moment but haven't done much typing.

    The layout feels very nice on my hands though, even nicer than dvorak ;)
