Hello

August 23, 2009 by Adam in Adam

Hello. This is Adam.

Im testing speech recognition software. It's a little quirky and I bark out orders to my computer like a drill sergeant. Everything takes way too long. Considering that I'm using the built in microphone, it's not too bad. The coolest part is that it actually works.
I installed windows seven last night on my new net book. The user interface is very pretty and now I'm trying to test out some of the weirder new features. So far I'm impressed.

I have done a lot of project work this weekend. The windows on the shed are finished, the balcony is stained, the laundry is done, and I even managed to bake a chocolate cheesecake. It felt good to be done with all the summer project, especially the shed. I treated myself by buying a throw rug at Down to Earth. Hopefully Jamie likes it.

Everyone is coming back in an hour or so. The house is clean. I have dinner ready to go. After nearly a week in the house by myself, it will be good to see everyone again. Since they'll be here soon, I better stop talking to my computer try to remember what it's like to talk to a human being.

I turned in my pager yesterday

I turned in my pager yesterday. We're phasing out after-hours support in order to safe money. Since the pagers also cost a little each month, there was a decision to get rid of that as well. I've been carrying a pager for over a decade, so it's rather freeing to no longer be responsible after I go home each day.

I'm also having a hard time adjusting to the time change. Last night around seven o'clock I was starting to nap on the couch. Plus I woke up bright and early at four this morning. Hopefully in a couple more days I'll adjust.

I did have a great run yesterday, my first in a couple weeks. I only ran four miles, as I was a little nervous, but I felt really good afterwards.
