The PDF Edition also allows people to distribute the zine electronically as one compact file.

The Dvorak Keyboard is a major improvement over the QWERTY layout, which was designed to slow people's typing speed! Learning it may increase your typing speed, and even reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries. With the aid of some interesting parsing techniques, I have devised a typing course which, much like the tutors of the QWERTY keyboard, starts you out on the home rows and gradually has you learning the entire keyboard. With a Dvorak keyboard, you can type fairly interesting words fairly quickly. (Anybody remember lessons like "a sad lass; a dad falls" ?) I have been interested in the Dvorak keyboard layout for some time, but never was able to find a typing tutor that properly taught this layout. I even bought a piece of commercial software that claimed to teach the Dvorak layout. But all they did was remap the keys and teach the same old QWERTY lessons. Yuck.

Unter dem Begriff Landing Pages versteht man gemeinhin Seiten, die speziell für Leser angezeigt werden, die über eine Suchmaschine (oder beispielsweise auch über einem Newsletter o.ä.) in einen Webauftritt einsteigen. Im Gegensatz zum Nutzer der über die Startseite oder einen RSS Reader kommt, weiß ein solcher User gar nicht, was ihn erwartet und mit wem er es zu tun hat. Somit tut man gut daran, den neuen Besucher etwas anders zu empfangen, als man es mit seinen Stammlesern macht. Ein kleiner Gruß, eine kurze Begrüßung, ein Hinweis auf Inhalte die im Kontext zu dem gefundenen Artikel bzw. seiner Suche stehen.
