Whoa! Either Dan or Sean dropped out of UTC! I could be going to Austin in March if I hadn't made so many damn typos.. :D all's well, though, it will let me focus on my studies and finish up schoolwork for this last semester.
Which one of you couldn't go to the championship?

Very interesting! I didn't expect that it would get all the way down to 17th place, and was sure Joshua, at least, would accept. They did seem to eliminate certain people from the get-go, as the "official" list on ultimatetypingchampionship.com omits people like Itypefast. This is good, though -- I ...

It seems I've made it into the semi-finals... which, with so many of our top typers ineligible, means less than it might, but it should still be quite the competition. I expect Sean Wrona to win, based on his recent performances on various typing sites, but anything could happen. I'm passing on the ...

Hmm, this text is hard for me, perhaps because I don't know what it means :)

First run: 117.74

after quite a bit of effort, I'm at 146.70 and trying to catch DraMaTiK and Martin, although matching Martin's 170s cruising speed is going to be a challenge!

Nice text! Much more fun to type than last month's. "shoemaker" flies by!

Unfortunately I forgot about the Master starting until about 24 hrs ago, and only had a few minutes just now to tackle it, due to an unusually busy week. Sorry I won't give much competition...

123.09 first try, 137.56 is ...

I also can't get Wine to work with Typing Zone.exe. My main computer is a macbook, and the computer I've run TZ on so far doesn't have an X or a 4 key, so I have to press the little electronic sensor and lose significant time :( - fortunately, the May Master didn't need either of those keys!

Here's ...

Thanks Damz!

I think I'll try to do the French masters too from here on out, but the language difference will make it tough. I don't think I'll be able to challenge Karen and Andrei much. A regular English competition would be great.

Congrats all on good English typing this month, and dealing with ...

Congrats! Yeah, 150 was my goal as well, but I never managed to make it. I only had a real chance at it once, when I had 151-152 going into the last sentence, then "desert" completely derailed me.

Two 149+s places you 1st AND 2nd for this month.. :D
