Wow ... you've all been busy. I will have to put "The Phantom Tollbooth" on my list of to reads.
I just got back from the hardware store (where else). I bought the wood for my new bookshelves. I have a little more work to do on the printer stand, and some trim to add to my desk. The local thought police are coming to "inspect" my house on Monday. So, I may not have much time to post (or read) for the next few days. The house will need to be spotless, and all of my projects either picked up and put away, or finished and installed. I've also just gotten the new hard drives for my TIVO boxes, so I'm going to try to install them over the next few days. And then, I actually have some client work that has to get done. All for now .... |

Right now, I'm stumbling over my French. I know, I know. Kinda hard to believe, me being the self-taught expert that I am. (Wee wee, Madam Weasel.) But it's true. Is there a website where I can enter a phrase in French and it will speak it - a French text-to-speech site?

vr : this one seems pretty good despite the weird elevator music in the background, a nice large text box for long texts and a choice of girl voice or boy voice (or second girl voice in english, which is hilarious if you make her read french text). you'll need to have java installed. there's also this one with waaaay more voices (and languages !!) to choose from but the pronunciation is a little more robotic, not as good as the first one. for an individual word it's probably fine. oh, and it has animated heads to say your text, which follow your mouse around. a little creepy !

And right now I'm eating 5 minute chocolate cake - more of a pudding than a cake; but still chocolatey and warm
