Scott Weinstein on .Net

I'll be giving a presentation on Vocola on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. for the NYPC speech group.

Jason Nadal has a nice, short article which gives an initial overview of the future Longhorn speech API.

For a few months now, I've been sitting on my .Net type libraries for Documentum. As I am no longer working with Documentum, and not really programming anymore, the code isn't doing anyone any good just sitting on my hard drive. So I am releasing the code publicly.

I recently purchased a copy of Kim’s mouse macros which let you control the mouse with a voice commands. They come with a couple of Word documents which you can print out and then paste the coordinate guides to the edge of your screen.

You're Singapore!
You're small but well-built and people are a little afraid of you.  You might even walk with a cane that people find somewhat menacing, rather than seeing it as an aid to your mobility.  You like an urban lifestyle, with little time for nature or the more rural pleasures of life.  This fast-paced lifestyle suits you, and you wish everyone around you would just shape up.
