left the house today at 06h30, for an 0735 doctor’s appointment (ouch). afterwards, went by the RI to catch up with brent and say hi to folks i used to work for, then went over to 11fuckty5 to see folks, and ended up listening in on a concall (on which i was totally out of the loop, so i mostly sat there and dutifully, painstakingly wrote down dates in my organizer with my left hand). now i’m totally exhausted, and my arm hurts so i took meds for it (tylenol 3 this time, no vicodin, so we’ll see if it makes me any less sleepy).
ugh. tired. pain. ow. i’m ready to stay in the house for a while, again, now.the swelling has come down a lot. i have knuckles again! no more marshmallow hand!!
this calls for a celebration.
so, i’m getting a little bit better with the speech recognition software. i’m going to try and dictate this entire post using it. The text capabilities are certainly within reason, and it’s getting better with unix commands.
It’s a little wonky at times though; for example, it’s got this persistent dialog box that tells you what status it’s in. I can dismiss this dialogue box, but as soon as i tell it to correct some text and i go to that dialog box, it comes back. This is really annoying. It lives on top of all of my windows, so it obscures my terminal sessions in part. And, frankly, once i dismiss it, i’d like it to stay dismissed. but it does learn pretty quickly. And i can tell it things like ps, or etc, and now it understands them. and i can set my own phonetics for things that it doesn’t understand, which is very helpful – as i’m sure is obvious. it’s still a little bit iffy in vi, but mostly it works pretty well. I’m actually very pleased with it thus far. 1. edamame.
2. broccoli.
3. bicolor sweet corn.
