Sampa 2007 year review By Marcelo Calbucci

 

    Sampa has come a long way from an idea to an alpha product, from an initial beta to a year of amazing growth.

 

    I've decided to share some of our stats comparing December/2006 to December/2007.

 

    There are lots of nuances and internal terminology on these numbers, so feel free to email me or leave a comment asking what something means.

How fast can you type? By Marcelo Calbucci

 

    I just found out about keybr.com, a simple site (Flash) to measure your typing speed and accuracy. It lacks many features like comparing you to others, but is a fun way to see your typing skills.

 

    After 13 attempts, I've got a top speed of 84 (don't know the unit) with zero errors.

This blog reaches a new low By Marcelo Calbucci

 

    If you are a regular reader of this blog you know how many spellings and grammar errors I make on my posts... A lot!

 

    Well, yesterday post had the amazing title "How fast can type?". Which clearly should have been "How fast can has type?"

 

    Don't worry folks, I'm taking advanced online English classes.
