I am learning Dvorak

One of my reasons for starting a blog was so I would have something that I could force myself to type in Dvorak. I recently spent 250 hours in the past 3 weeks working on a educational iPad Game, European Exploration. I have never written as much text on a keyboard before and for the first time ever I experienced typist pains in my hands. I Recently forced myself to learn Vi so taking the leap into learning a new keyboard layout doesn't seem very daunting.

So far I can almost always remember where the new key is at as I'm typing, but I can barely type 20 wpm. I setup key-bindings in my XFCE so I can toggle between Qwerty and Dvorak so I'm not locked in to either if I really need to type something out.
