More data entry

[ailbhe]

The nice thing about data entry for yourself is that you can do it really slowly, alternating fingers as it starts to ache, and not bothering your RSI at all. So we took another shelf of PB SF books and entered them. We're beginning to get a little worried about books with multiple authors, or which can reasonably be categorised in multiple genres. We're thinking about ways to deal with this.

Called my mother to tell her how much we'd done (200 and something). She wasn't impressed. "That's not a fraction of your books though," she said. I pointed out that actually, it was. Maybe a very small fraction, but still a fraction. Feh.

Wow! How? I don't know how to type slowly. I'm not sure I could do data entry slowly without causing myself a lot more effort in making myself slow down.

I don't have an RSI to encourage me, though.

How? using only the little fingers or the thumbs of each hand, that's how. It's easier when you're not typing full sentences.

I can get as slow as 6000 characters an hour if I have to. And sometimes I have to.
