Typing backward

I've been spending most of my free time lately (such as it is) on a layout project. Not unusual. Several of the items have Hebrew in them, which is slightly annoying b/c it requires typing the sentence in reverse, and the keyboard conversions for the fonts I use are not intuitive. But it's still manageable. However, the page I just turned over has a long Hebrew quote which looks like complete gibberish. At first I thought the person had used the wrong font somehow, but as I stared at it I came to the realization that it's backwards. So now not only do I have to type it in from the end of the sentence letter by letter, converting as I go, but I also have to work from the opposite end, without losing my place... keeping in mind that if the lines start to wrap the sentence may not make sense. Aiiigh!

Not much else to report here, the last few days were Succot so we mostly spent our time eating. :-) Fortunately the weather was nice most of the time, though there were some rainy spells mixed in. And [livejournal.com profile] sdavido has come down with a cold... hopefully it'll be a short one.

Rant over, back to turning my brain inside-out...
