The Perfect Solution

Today I am going to try something new. Actually, it’s something very old that I just decided to a put onto my machine today. Instead of typing in everything that you see here, today I am dictating it to my computer with the help of Lernout and Hauspie’s speech recognition program. Of course, L&H have filed for bankruptcy and are currently auctioning off all of their assets, so if you see any spelling or grammar mistakes it’s not my fault.

This is sooo cool.

I’ve tried these type of programs in the past and they’ve never really done what I wanted them to do. I always seemed to be spending more time correcting what I wrote instead of simply writing it. However, after only fifteen minutes of setting up this program it’s running like a charm, and my hands don’t even hurt. One of the reasons that I don’t write as often as other Bloggers out there is that I have the beginning stages of carpal tunnel syndrome, and that makes it difficult for me to write as much as I would like to.

Not that you’d notice.

I can’t tell you enough how cool this is. I’m just talking, not even looking at the screen and everything I say is being typed as I say it. It’s really saving my hands.

I was really hoping that this would work as well as it seems to be working because that will make it very easy for me to write everything that I want to write about. Since my Christmas story is such a long and involved piece, I was actually afraid that I would ruin my hands trying to write it. But now thanks to this wonderful program I’ll be able to say everything I want and bore you all to death with my meaningless rambling. Of course, doing such things as links, bold text, or italic text will be a little bit more involved than what I’m used to, but I think I can manage.

Only five mistakes so far! Not too bad. Not too bad at all.

Well then, now that I have this brand new toy these posts of mine might get a little bit longer. In fact, whenever you come to visit you might need to be sitting in a comfy chair and have plenty of time, because if you think I used to type a lot before, imagine how much more I can say when I’m not even typing.

Oh, I bet you’re scared now.

It might take a while for me to input all of the made up words that I use on a daily basis. Words like GeekMan, anywaste, and the names of any web sites I might go to will have to be input as they come along. But man, this has really gotten my Geek juices flowing.

My nipples are hard.

I think that’s all for today, I’ll be back tomorrow or Friday with something a little more substantial. Right now I’m just a little too… uh, excited by my new toy. That’s right, I’m a big geek and proud of it. And I know you wish you had this program, but you don’t. I do, and that makes me the coolest Geek around.

Or the most pathetic loser to ever walk the face of the earth. Whatever.
