Alexander gets more interesting daily

So I was dicking around on my new computer and I found a few extra cool features that I didn't know I had. For example Alexander has speech recognition software which came with the computer. I can dictate things to my computer and have it write them down.

In fact I would be saying this out loud instead of typing it, but apparently it doesn't play well with Firefox. I can still tell it to scroll up and down and to switch between tabs (but that is because I know the short-cut keys anyway). I did some dictating into Word earlier and it screws up a lot, but it's also wicked cool.

The main problem is that I currently have a cold - so right now my throat is even more sore than it was because (as S said) I've been shouting at my computer for the last little while. (I'm just speaking clearly and distinctly, okay!)

Whatever - I have a new toy. Which may never be really useful for me (especially since I already type faster than I can think (ie way faster than I can speak) and I seriously doubt that it can understand languages other than English - although I suppose that I could teach it Latin word by word, but it's possible that I have more important things to do.)

Anyway, I totally the coolest nerd I know right now.
