## Content

Years ago I had a run-in with carpal tunnel syndrome. I stopped typing for a while altogether and then switched to a split keyboard and eased back into typing as slowly as I could. Thankfully the pain went away. After some time without problems I got sloppy, put away the split keyboard and happily banged away on the keyboard of my MacBook. Fast forward: towards the end of last week the problems in might right hand returned with a vengeance. So now I am back to: (A) Minimal typing, which means even shorter / no email replies (sorry) and shorter / no blog posts (bummer). (B) Looking for the most efficient way to dictate text. Voice input on my Android is reporting a “Server Problem” - is anyone else seeing this? © Wondering whether for travel I should switch from my latpop to an iPad and if I can get a split travel keyboard such as the Goldtouch to work with it. Any and all other suggestions are welcome here, as not being able to type quickly / at all really makes my job a lot harder.
