11.9.98 - GnomeNEWS Well, you knew it was inevitable; I was eventually going to get speech-to-text software. How could I call myself a geek without trying it at least once? In fact, I'm attempting to write this section without typing. I realize that you can't tell the difference, so your going to have to trust me on this one. My wife is giving me strange looks right now. I attended a local computer bazaar the other week and watched in amazement as the demonstrator showed a small crowd how to use it. I figured: "Why not? I gotta try it once!" So, I purchased Dragon NaturallySpeaking Standard and rushed home. It has taken a little while to get used to, but I still think I can type faster than I can talk. At least, without making as many errors. Head on over to http://www.computernerdz.com/ -- I purchased it through them. Tell them I sent you (if you have questions). They've got a site with tons of voice recognition software information (and they were very friendly). I admit this is a lot of fun, but there's no way I could do most my work by talking to my computer. If you type slow, this could be a godsend. However, if you type faster than you think, stick with the keyboard. It's nice to be able to talk and have it enter text for you in just about any given application (like ICQ) -- but having to go back and correct the errors can consume too much time. Still, I feel good about my purchase. It was definitely worth the money (around $100). Oops -- I shouldn't have said that out loud. My wife is going to kill me now. Hopefully, I'll see you tomorrow. GnomePROGRAM NoteTab Pro v4.51 [1.3M] W9x/NT US$20 Notepad (ya know, the one that comes with Windows) is a great application. It's simple, small, and easy to use. But if you demand more from your "Notepadish" program, then you can't go wrong with NoteTab Pro. Or, if your pocketbook is screaming for mercy, there's also a freeware version available. However, the "Pro" is aptly named; it's extremely configurable, executes common operations quickly, helps non-WYSIWYG HTML coders with built-in support, and is generally more robust over all other NoteTab versions. If you don't have a Notepad replacement on your computer, you're missing out on great functionality. It's like going halfway between Notepad and a bloated Word Processor. Keep tabs on your textual files with NoteTab Pro! [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]

GnomeCANDY Atari 2600 Multiplayer Emulator v1.0b [2.4M] W9x FREE If you've been on the Internet for a little while, you've probably heard of emulators. They basically enable your PC to use other (and often older) systems. During my surfing last week, I stumbled upon this extremely interesting emulator. Not only does it emulate the classic Atari 2600, but you can play certain games with others over a network, modem, or even on the Internet! This Beta only supports Combat, Freeway, Armor Ambush, Breakout, Canyon Bomber, Pac Man, Space Invaders, and Defender -- but support for others will eventually be added. You'll need to grab the "ROMs" from the linked site, and this is only legal if you own those original cartridges. Where's my joystick? [ DOWNLOAD 1 ] [ DOWNLOAD 2 ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeFAVORITE Thanksgiving Resources I used to love going to our public library. Of course, that changed when pictures stopped appearing in the books I was reading. Thank goodness the Internet came along when it did. I almost forgot how to read! This school's library threw together a great page of links for students and teachers. The best part about this page is that you don't need to present your library card to check out the links. [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeDESKTOP THEME: Egyptian Fantasy [938k] When I was in school, I always enjoyed subject matter pertaining to ancient Egyptian civilizations. They have an incredibly "rich" heritage, that's for sure. I almost became an archeologist, just so I could study hieroglyphics. Sure, Indiana Jones had something to do with it, too--but my inspirations usually stem from various sources. Eh, there'd probably be too much paperwork, anyway. I'll just sit back and enjoy the television specials. [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeTIP
Internet Explorer 4.x users, if you know of the root word for a
domain (like 'lockergnome' would be the root for
'www.lockergnome.com'), you can type in just that root word and
hit CTRL+Enter to have it add the "http://www." and ".com" to the
beginning and end of it. Or, just like Netscape users, you could
just type in the root and wait for your browser to finish the
rest. I suppose the CTRL+Enter trick just speeds the process
along.
