I'm almost convinced about making Caps Lock a backspace. Is it possible to do that without affecting the rest of the keyboard?-JennyB (November 12, 2007, 11:22 AM)

Be it Tivoli or Diskstation software....they both use the same approach....a real time data copy based on a set of rules. So I tell it what files to copy (be it filename matches, filetype matches or folder matches) and as soon as I save a file which meets the criteria, it copies it to a backup. It also can save multiple versions and target files require no special software to open.....meaning the files are not imaged but real file copies. I prefer this real-time backup as opposed to a scheduled backup-johnfdeluca (May 11, 2007, 09:53 AM)

| Will there be versions of Colemak optimized for other languages? I won't have time in the near future to work on that. |
There's no proof you type faster/more accurate using Dvorak.I think the main idea is it's easier on your hands..-wr975 (November 12, 2007, 03:16 AM)

| Colemak is a modern alternative to the QWERTY and Dvorak layouts. It is designed for efficient and ergonomic touch typing in English. ... Colemak is now the 3rd most popular keyboard layout for touch typing in English, after QWERTY and Dvorak. |
| What's wrong with the Dvorak layout? * The main problem with Dvorak is that it's too difficult and frustrating to learn for existing QWERTY typists because it's so different from QWERTY. Colemak has been designed to be easy to learn. * Placing 'L' on the QWERTY 'P' position causes excessive strain on the right pinky. Colemak doesn't place frequent letters where the pinkies stretch. * 'F' is on the QWERTY 'Y' position which is a difficult stretch on normal keyboards. * 'I' is very frequent but isn't on the home position. * 'R' is very frequent but isn't on the home row. * It is significantly lopsided so that the right hand does too much work. * It's not comfortable to use Ctrl-Z/X/C/V shortcuts with the left hand while holding the mouse with the right hand. Colemak conserves those shortcuts in their QWERTY positions. * Even though the design principles are sound, the implementation isn't optimal because it was designed without the aid of computers. * 'L' and 'S' form a frequent same-finger digraph on the right pinky. Same-finger for the pinky is very rare in Colemak. In particular, Unix commands such as 'ls -l' are very uncomfortable to type. * Some punctuation (in particular the curly/square brackets) is less comfortable to type on Dvorak. This affects mainly programmers and advanced Unix users. |
not sure why.. but they talk about it here:To help clarify what i'm interested in.. im more interested in properly billing people for time, rather than in figuring out what kinds of things i do on the computer.-mouser (November 11, 2007, 11:00 AM)

IBM's Tivoli Continuous Data Protection http://www-306.ibm.c...ous-data-protection/. Note: I DO work for IBM, so I get this software for free vs the $36 USD normal price. If I had to pay for the Tivoli software, I'd likely just use the free software that came with my Diskstation....not because Tivoli software is lacking.....my impression is it is top notch but I am just cheap and typically lean towards freeware if available.

)Think of it as:
1- a large spreadsheet. The grid is used to filters which row are displayed and which column is displayed, and/or
2- As a filing cabinet. You place items in folders (fields here). Selecting a field as a grid source, displays items in the folder (This is the Ecco Pro metaphor)
