Older but no better at typing

So I thought I'd take a stab at a blog post since I haven't managed to write anything for a really long time. One of the things that drives me nuts is that I can't touch type. I've tried a few times to work with my copy of "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing" (which is a good app in my view) but the problem is that I spend an hour or two working on learning where the ASDF keys are and then I have to go back to work. Now there is not a LOT of C++ you can write with just ASDF so I end up four-finger typing again and forgetting where even the ASDF keys are after a day. The other factor, is that I seem to keep getting older. This is some sort of genetic defect I inherited from my parents and it's a real bitch. I need to pee more often and my fingers just don't move as fast as they used to. That would be OK except that they also don't seem to hit the right keys more than about 80% of tha tinne. The result is an encrypted version of my thoughts. The other thing I've noticed is that as I'm typing I can't see any of the glaring errors that I'll find if I re-read the work some time later. I'm always typing 'ing' as 'ign' - there is just something about the N-G sequence my brain can't figure out. This has a slight benefit in that I can tell code that I've written because the comments have these common typos in them. Perhaps this is a form of 'signing' my code and I can patent it.
