Dvorak Keyboard Layout

Today I learned something about a keyboard layout called Dvorak.

The thing is that I don’t know much about layouts.
Actually I didn’t know a thing about layouts or the fact that there could be different keyboard layouts for one language! Imagine my surprise!

so i went reading about it and I’ve founded that it’s a very good layout and with a little determination i could write my next post using it.

I recommend every one to go and read about it.
You will probably love it and you will end up increasing your speed to more than 50 wpm in no time.

here is a very good blog post about it

you will find every thing you need to know about it in there, including some very very useful links check it out.

The best background color for reading e-books

The other day, while i was reading some PDF file about Rails, I get really annoyed by the white background.
So i decided to change it, the only problem is that i use “Acrobat Reader” and i couldn’t find where to change it even though i looked in the offline manual.
Thinking that it can’t be changed, I started looking for a pdf program that support changing it.
Now, the irony is that I found how to change it from a comment that says how easy it is to change bgColor in “Foxit Reader” and how will hidden it’s in “Acrobat Reader”.
Which is going to “Edit>>Preferences>>Accessibility” then check “replace document color” and wallah! you can change it at last.

Anyway, i have tried several colors and i have found that The best bgColor is “Gray 25%” (that what photoshop calls it!), in Acrobat Reader Words the lightest gray in the “Pick a color” box!.

so, what do you think!
