M regular readers will know that I have been having a certain amount of trouble with my voice activation-Dragon Naturally Preferred version 11. Now, I have used this particular program since the first version came out, something like 20 years ago, and in those days it cost around £1000 and, to be honest, it was […]

It is exactly one year to the day for the beginning of the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Most of the venues are complete, or well on the way to completion, and even it is early stage there is an air of anticipation. Already there have been complains about obtaining tickets for various events. I […]

England starting this fourth day of the Test Match against India, where they left off last night, at 5 without loss, in the second inning, or 193 ahead overall.. They then struggled through to 56 before a clatter of wickets fell. Pieterson and Cooke were each out for one run and Bell out for a […]

Chloe was a great help this afternoon and assisted me to bring the printed version of this blog up-to-date. I have made three hard copies from the very beginning -one for each of the children and one for ‘my lovely’ – so  that there will always be a record for any future member of the […]

I started my day with yet another long session with the voice activation people, Dragon. Despite having reinstalled the original Version 11 and gone through the training again the programme still failed to recognise the difference between commands and text. I was fortunate enough to speak to the senior technician who did some more tweaking […]

A mainly medical entry. Ever since I have ceased trying to struggle from one room to the other using my pulpit frame my legs have clearly got weaker by their non-use. As a result the joints are stiffer from lack of exercise and this is one of the causes of pain at night in bed. […]
