derekvso it might be in some weird dvorak derivation =]17:30
derekvthinking about ordering just blank keycaps and keeping a .png handy for refrence when I need it17:31
derekvkeycap labels are a fuckup anyways for learning, you learn much faster if you have to refrence something and make your finger "feel" for the key rather than follow your eyes17:32
derekvpardon my french17:32
