So yeah a few days without any posts. That means things are looking up, right? Well work’s been keepin’ me busy recording tidbits like:
in my best flat and boring voice. It’s for our VoiceXML thing which i keep talking about.
Every time i hear my recorded voice i am horrified at how LA i sound. I’ve worked hard to shave off most of the sunshine-y Southern California ditsy-ness from my voice, but i couldn’t get rid of all of it.
Oh and, if you’re sufficiently interested in this shiat, this link tells you how to syndicate your blog into VoiceXML, so that people can call an 800 number and have your blog read to them over the phone. Isn’t that just fabulous? I’m too lazy right now to do it myself, but if you do – let me know how it turns out.
On friday i’m flying to London for a long weekend, which should be fun. I’m flying because it’s at least a hundred dollars less than the Eurostar. The Eurostar is a total rip-off. It’s really nice and all, but a 3 hour train ride should not be costing upwards of 200 smackers. Even if you are lazy and don’t buy your ticket until 2 days before.
More later.
