What's a good typing tutor? Free software I can install on my Debian machine, or online service type would both work.

This heat wave keeps reminding me of J. G. Ballard's novel, The Drowned World. I'm a little unnerved by this.

People on the german atari-home.de forum are looking for the extensive printed documentation for Thomas Tempelmann's TempleMon debuger/disassembler for #Atari ST/TT/Falcon. Apparently those 120 pages never had a digital distribution, and the original file has been lost. Does anyone happen to have any leads?
The application itself has been made available for free a long time ago: http://www.tempel.org/files-e.html#TMON
Original thread (in German): https://forum.atari-home.de/index.php/topic,15356.msg242731.html#msg242731

PSA: The National Grid (in the UK) cannot distinguish between sources of electricity. One cannot be "switched" from one source to another. The idea that one can change one's electricity supplier and then get "green" electricity is about economics and marketing, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the electrons that enter and exit the home through one's distribution box. It's a fantasy.
When I see marketroids talking about "green" electricity I feel sad for them and the people who believe them.
