Getting the country right
It might just be me, but I don't understand when I set my country profile data to the UK, why the Rubicon project chooses to serve ad for a US audience...
The keys to using Macspeech Dictate
If you have a copy of MacSpeech Dictate and can't understand why everybody raves about because it doesn't work you, there is hope. After many attempts to get MacSpeech working correctly for me I hadn't given up. And as this is not a cheap piece of software I considered looking for the moneyback guarantee. I have tried installing four different profiles and two different vocal types. It seems to me the best way to get results with MacSpeech Dictate starts with the voice training.
New Google Friends Service - Friend Connect
Google have launched a new service that allows you to include social networking features on your website even if your website doesn't support social networking features. The link I was given today returned a 404 error which is hilarious for a Google service. But I'm sure the service will be launched with full fanfare in the coming days, weeks and months.
Why I never get any work done...
I thought this was are very funny explanation as to why checking my e-mail takes an hour.
York, a place of boundless beauty...
We have just returned from a long weekend in York. We have thoroughly enjoyed it, and the weather, while not being perfect, was still lovely. The drive north takes about four hours, but you can do it in less time if traffic is good. It was the first time that we actually went into Castle Howard, which is an absolutely wonderful building in the York countryside that was once burnt to an empty shell in parts but has now been restored to its full beauty, in most parts.
To far for Google or just a great app?
I have a fairly strong Google link. I use everything Google and love it. But how far is too far? I have only recently discovered Google Maps and have to say wow - what a great app add on. But I do worry where all this is leading us...or have I been reading to many Robert Ludlum books...
Go to http://maps.google.com, search for 'times square, ny' and then click on the street view link under the photo on the little marker.
If you dug all the way to China where would you start?
A great Google Maps application that shows you the opposite point of the world from any point.
