Watching time, the only true currency // A journal from John B. Roberts

Too much typing

Watched 12 hours of user tests over the last two days, typing into my work blog the entire time… more than 40 pages of single-spaced transcripts/notes, on my laptop without the ergonomic keyboard. Ouch. But also used the opportunity to make my blog more of a public item at work, to positive response. Since a real transcript costs $80 per tester (we’ll order a few of them anyway, for future use), I’m both giving my take on the tests and spreading the word far and wide… at least internally. But I need to set up the home computer, at least, with voice activation. How do software programmers, who avoid meetings, etc., keep typing 100% of the time?
