Asetnil sample text
Submitted for your evaluation. Submkffde tor your dvaluafkoj.
Crossing the empty ocean
Crosskjg fhd dmpfy ocdaj
Real space travel, the kind measured in years, never sold much
science fiction. "Space exhaustion" lacks the adventure and romance
that even bookworms crave. An interplanetary voyage can more properly
be called confinement without reprieve or outdoor activity.

The only thing that breaks the monotony is an occasional
emergency. A small equipment failure can make your heart pound terror
into your arteries. Out here, where the earth can be eclipsed with a
pinhead, machines are your air and water, life and breath, hope is a
thing with system redundancy.

In space the stars do not twinkle; they mock the planets and hide
them in their numbers. There are no lifeboats, no islands, or chance
of rescue. The vacuum is the embrace of death and it's all that
surrounds you for billions of light years deep.

I asked one of the technicians why he always spoke of the ship in
such reverent tones. He said that you've got to treat this ship like
your life depended on it, because it does. We can't abandon ship, but
she can abandon us.

He is one of those types that seem to thrive here, immune to cabin
fever, let alone claustrophobic hysteria. He will tell you, with the
religious fervor of a God given mission, that without this work, the
suns energy, the sacred fire of life, is condemned to dissipate across
an unbounded abyss.

Stoic acceptance is one thing, remaining sane is another. What I
think he finds so appealing is the orderliness, the checklists, the
control. In space there are no storms or earthquakes, no acts of God,
only errors of men. Here he has found his fanatic independence. This
tiny bottle of life wasn't given to humankind, it was created by human
hands.

Another example
Practice by imagining the letters in their new positions or typing
the "translation" as is.
It is impossible to convey how much I appreciate your question.
Christopher Latham Sholes, typewriter inventor, originally put ‘e'
on the home row. Normal typing caused collisions between print bars.
His 1868 version was a conscious attempt to cause typing to be slower.
It has been universal ever since.
Might there be a compromise with the present layout, something
that might increase typing velocity yet be more relaxing, something
that has only minimal changes? Several years ago, I became convinced
that there is.
I was able to ascertain that putting letters beneath the same
‘motor neurons' will enable an easy transition to using the more
common letters of English text on the home row. Transposing ‘etni'
with less common letters, presently on the home row, results in an
increase that amounts to over sixty percent. More to the point, this
increases the thirty two percent typewritten text presently on the
home row by twenty one percent, to a total 53%. This might help with
carpal tunnel syndrome. Thirty two percent will be available to the
‘aset' halve without transverse motion.
I call this sixty percent solution ‘asetnil', which represents
the letters on the new home row. The aspect that gives it
acceptability over other options is the ease of the transition. This
text that I am writing leaves out those less common letters so that a
person can actually tryout ‘asetnil' right away, to experience how
easy it is to use.
Its beginning use might be as a means to retrieve a post. John
Smith becomes Nohj Smkfh. Now you can call up this post with smkfh.
Perhaps ‘asetnil' will become a novelty, semi secrete writing. With
time, its motion saving aspect might result in a pleasurable typing
experience. Perhaps it may eventually win converts.
Given the simplicity in programing to transpose these letter
pairs, ‘asetnil' might become a primary means to input into a
computer.
This post is OT, except that posters must use some input
instrument. In that narrow sense it is relevant to any news group, or
anyone who types. I will appreciate any opinion you might have
concerning ‘asetnil'.
With greatest respect,
Stephen Kearney
