Day 12 - 6:41
=============
- 3:29 Three-letter words @ 27 WPM w/1 mis-strokes.
- 3:33 Three-letter words @ 27 WPM w/9 mis-strokes.
No, really. I can't try for speed: it only messes up my rhythm and
slows me down. OK, pay attention now.
- 3:33 Three-letter words @ 27 WPM w/3 mis-strokes.
- 3:31 Perfect three-letter words @ 27 WPM.
- 3:37 Three-letter words @ 26 WPM w/6 mis-strokes.
17:43

Session two:
- 3:26 Three-letter words @ 27 WPM w/8 mis-strokes.
- 3:09 Three-letter words @ 30 WPM w/4 mis-strokes.
- 3:10 Three-letter words @ 30 WPM w/4 mis-strokes.
- 3:20 Three-letter words @ 28 WPM w/8 mis-strokes.
Ouch. Time to take a break. But I'm starting to be able to think and
finger the chords as a unit rather than individual keys.
13:05 + 17:43 = 30:48
But I have to remember to re-load Di's Plover, Learn! every time. It
doesn't re-randomize when you re-start, and I find myself recognizing
the sequence. Also, I wonder if I'm hitting the end of the easy speed
gains while just looking at one item. And while it has some lookahead,
the extra words are *well* off to the side and in a smaller font, so I
can't spare the concentration to look over there. Also I think I should
add the one- and two-key words to the list.
So I really need to get off my butt and write my own drill page.

3:15 Three-letter words @ 29 WPM w/2 misstrokes.
2:58 Three-letter words @ 32 WPM w/9 misstrokes.
2:53 Three-letter words @ 33 WPM w/9 misstrokes.
3:02 Three-letter words @ 31 WPM w/7 misstrokes.
3:11 Three-letter words @ 30 WPM w/5 misstrokes.
15:19 + 30:48 = 46:07
Aha! Finally found one of the weird strokes. `KAR/TEL` is "cartel", so
if the random order turns up "car" followed by "tell", you get "tel"
instead. So...random drilling probably *still* needs to know about the
dictionary...grr. Well, if you actually *read* through the whole of the
first Learn Plover lesson, he *does* say that you should just back up
and use S-P to insert a word break. But I think I'd rather only give
users examples like that on purpose. I guess it will be better with a
drill that does multiple words at a time, because then you'll see
"cartel" and at least know what's going on. With Di's Plover, Learn! it
just eats the "car" and you're left with an unexplained "tel", which is
*not* beginner-friendly.

Oops, it's getting late. I should finish up my practice.
- 3:20 Three-letter words @ 28 WPM w/12 misstrokes.
Hrm. Maybe I'm too tired?
- 3:11 Three-letter words @ 30 WPM w/9 misstrokes.
OK, maybe I'll press on. Only three more to go.
- 2:59 Three-letter words @ 32 WPM w/4 misstrokes.
- 3:09 Three-letter words @ 30 WPM w/6 misstrokes.
- 3:02 Three-letter words @ 31 WPM w/7 misstrokes.
15:41 + 46:07 = 61:48 today, 7:43 total.
