List of Computer Terms
I’m creating shortcuts for computer terms. I’m using this list as a reference, which is pretty comprehensive. If you have a term that would like to have a shortcut for, could you please let me know?
So a new quarter is a startin’ and I need some thoughts
So as you may already know I am both an avid student of Gregg shorthand as well as machine stenography. Next quarter I begin my senior year of linguistics study at the UW. My conundrum is that I would traditionally use Gregg to take notes but now that I have my steno machine I’m presented…

This passage is cursed
Cursed, I tell you. Cursed. I’ve recorded it four times so far. I even went down to 40wpm for recording, since the quality survives speeding up much better than slowing down. It might not be worth the effort at that speed, since I can usually reach close to that by reading either the plate or…
