I wanted to see how quickly I could change the colour scheme of this page. As it turns out, pretty quickly. I like CSS, CSS is my friend. I think I’ll leave the colours the way they are until next week, when I’ll switch them back. Ideally I’d make a new logo too, but I’m not that ambitious (yet).

I looked into using MSAgent to do voice recognition in my arcade frontend, and decided found that there is a far better way - that being SAPI 5.1. I downloaded the SDK, and the documentation. It looks relatively simple to use, though I haven’t even gotten VB installed on my machine at home yet to test it out.

In other news, I managed to get my machine at home to hook up to the VPN at work, so I can access my machine from home. What does this mean to you? Nothing, really, except that now I can do updates to this page from home as well. I don’t know if I’ll be doing that much, but at least the capability is there now. As a side effect, I can now show off my internal website work when people come to visit and ask what I’ve been doing. Personally I’m pretty impressed with the application, though I know it’s all done with smoke and mirrors…

I read a good injury report for the Montreal Canadiens the other day. I’ll quote the article here (heh. You poor netscape users won’t like me for this)

And tough guy Gino Odjick, who hasn’t come close to playing a full season since 1996-97, is day to day with what has been described as “bus driver’s back.” Odjick said the ailment is the result of sitting on the bench too much.

Yeah, but at least it’s warmed up for the rest of the team.
