Tower of Babel Translator
It's a translator that translates words as you subvocalize them (think Snake's communicator in Metal Gear Solid). Right now they have a Chinese to English translator as well as English to Spanish/German version.

Error displaying an error
Someone managed to invoke this self-referential error message on one of our "Experience Sampling" smart phones the other day.
The error message is telling us that the crashed "MyExperience" program was unable to display an error message due to an error with the error messaging system.
I guess this is how Microsoft gets around a Catch-22.

About this site
Hi people,
This website is a content-aggregator, in web speak it's a "planet." If you give me the address to a feed from your blog, your blog's content will be displayed here. Alternatively, you can tell me where your blog is, and I'll try to find the feed. I can also display a profile pic next to your post if you provide it.
To get listed on this planet. you need to give me your
Name:
Feed URL: (or if you can't find that, your blog URL)
Avatar (attached in email, optional)
Send Email
About using this planet with Blogger:
If you upload your images to Blogger, they WILL NOT appear in this planet, since Blogger blocks outside sites from embedding their pictures. If you want your images to appear, I recommend linking your pics from your UW Dante account instead of hosting them on Blogger.
Here's an example of the Blogger problem. If the lower logo is still visible, press refresh and it should disappear.

Windows vista speech recognition
I'm writing this using Microsoft speech recognition. I will not make any corrections.
Windows vista was a pain to install. I started out by reformatting my heart goes. Then I inserted this to DVD, booted into the vista install environment, and reached the point where you select a partition to install to.
If you really have Windows XP installed, the nice investors. Clean install with vista alliance of the 60. I think this dictation software needs more technical vocabulary.
