I did an online assessment today at http://www.typingtest.com/. I can currently type 49wpm, with an accuracy of 87%, and gross speed 56wpm. No idea how they judge gross vs. net for speed. I'll just use the same site later to judge. I haven't tried them yet, but it looks like they also have a bunch of tools to use that can help you increase your typing speed. I may end up visiting the site more often.
This waas included as one of my goals so that I can hopefully learn to type in a more efficient manner. Currenty I don't make use of all my fingers when I type, and will often type one-handed. It's also useful to be able to type fast when trying to take notes in a meeting or write e-mails in a hurry. I also wanted to improve coordination in my left hand but couldn't think of any ways to measure that. The typing test is as good as any, since it requires use of both hands.
In other goals, I donated 1,000 grains of rice, did another day of the push-up/sit-up challenges, and am going to a yoga class tonight. I think that as a I complete goals and make progress on others, I will fully update the original post, and not the side bar. I am toying with the idea of removing goals from the sidebar once completed, but I haven't decided yet. I guess I don't have to make any decisions until I actually complete one anyway, right?
