Acquired Steel Desk Drawer Paper Organizer (Hunt Manufacturing Co. (Fresno, CA), Lit-Ning Products Division)

Six slots for organizing your typing papers and envelopes as well as space for your stapler, tape dispenser, and various other desk drawer implements.

In an effort to slowly improve my analog office proficiency and productivity, I have heeded Lenore Fenton’s advice to have all my supplies organized at my fingertips. Toward that end I’ve picked up this excellent paper organizer for the top desk drawer of my executive tanker desk. This mid-century marvel is perfect for storing a variety of paper types and envelopes to have them easily to hand.  (For ease of viewing and use, you’ll see photos of it sitting on my desktop right next to my typewriter.) 

In the 1943 film Basic Typing Methods, in the very opening seconds of the film, you’ll see the woman in the foreground pulling paper quickly from her desk drawer for typing. While it’s not immediately visible, she’s surely got a similar paper organizer in her drawer. (Pardon the heavily gendered references in the film.)

Acquired at the local Acts Thrift shop for about $2.00, this was a no-brainer purchase.

In the very back we see a paint chip brush for dusting a typewriter as well as a couple different eraser shields for typing and error correction.Oblique view of a Hunt Manufacturing paper organizer in 20 gauge steel next to a Gray Royal KMG typewriter. The drawer organizer has six angled slots for storing and organizing 8.5 x 11" pieces of paper. In the front of the organizer is a 4.5 x 11.5 inch section for various office and typing supplies. In this section we see a stapler and a rubber date stamp.Analog office set up featuring a stick leg metal desk, a Royal KMG typewriter, a few card index filing cabinets, a typing copy stand, and a paper supply organizer.

It takes time and I’m still so damn slow but I can feel a substantial improvement in typing speed and accuracy after 3 days. And on the way I’m learning to use 10 fingers for typing and hell of a lot of shortcuts. #keyboard #zsa #moonlander #typing #mechanicalkeyboard #ergokeyboard #ergonomics

Rules:
Use "̃" for All of the Aspirated sound instead of "h".
Use "̄" for All of the Long Vowels instead of Double Letters.
Use "̄" for All of the Double Consonants instead of Double Letters.
Use "̰" for All of the Nasalised Sounds instead of "n".

Why I Made This System
Learning Urdu’s Arabic script or Hindi's Devanagari script is tough—especially sounds like retroflex ṭ/ḍ (ٹ/ڈ), nasalization, and aspiration. Most Latin Urdu (like Barah Khadi) doesn’t show these clearly.

🎮 Ah yes, the thrilling quest to make on a as speedy as watching paint dry! After four decades of evolution, we're finally blessed with "Rad Type," a keyboard that promises to redefine fast, if by fast you mean moving at a snail's pace. 🚀💤

I upgraded archeryutils to use #numpy #typing more 'properly'.
I found the docs and other sources challenging when it came to implementation and examples, so here are my observations and an #ELI5 summary of the bits I felt were missing in the hope it might help others: jackatkinson.net/post/numpy_ty

Comments welcome.

anyone have some time to help me with a tricky #python #typing and #mypy problem?

it's fully self-contained in github.com/cthoyt/python-typin. It contains some examples of things I tried, and why they didn't work

it hinges on using PEP-696 defaults in typing.TypeVar, introduced in Python 3.13
