scottobear: (Play monkey! Play!)

EN's net is still out, so I took the opportunity to toss Oona on again. Much slower evening than Friday, but I still stayed at HQ, in case something weird came up.



My First house. (well, the house I went from birth to 2nd/3rd grade),Age 11ish,Age 15ish.

My current address is 1501.1 miles (Approximate Travel Time: 23 hours 5 mins) from the first place I was raised. (According to Yahoo maps.. for some reason, map directions are broken on Google right now.)

I did a search on Scottobear on google. it returns "about 45,800" back. yikes. I'm 99.99% sure the name is unique on the net.

Watched the Krypto Cartoon that introduced Streaky. (The Canine Space Patrol wasn't bad, either... renamed "Dog Star Patrol". I haven't seen Ace, the Bat-hound, yet. Apparently, Krypto will team up with Ace to chase after the Joker's Hyenas. ) All in all, it seems to be a good kid's show.



Got a nice hello email from Tomi.. pretty nifty that he still reads my journal!



I get about 15 human-placed anonymous lj-spams a day. I'm really not sure what they think that they'll accomplish.. no other human will see it but me, and I just delete 'em right from being screened. no spider will pick 'em up.



Testing speech recognition with sound clips.

this is not very good, but so far all told it seems to work.

It still needs some training - My saying Newton -

Need to / new time / new Tom / to one/ noontime

I wonder if someday all of my posts will be audio, automatically transcribed to text automatically?



I really like this picture of a clown and her tea party.

MONKEY HATE CLEAN.



Thousands of previously illegible manuscripts containing work by some of the greats of classical literature are being read for the first time using technology which experts believe will unlock the secrets of the ancient world.

Among treasures already discovered by a team from Oxford University are previously unseen writings by classical giants including Sophocles, Euripides and Hesiod. Invisible under ordinary light, the faded ink comes clearly into view when placed under infra-red light, using techniques developed from satellite imaging.

The Oxford documents form part of the great papyrus hoard salvaged from an ancient rubbish dump in the Graeco-Egyptian town of Oxyrhynchus more than a century ago. The thousands of remaining documents, which will be analyzed over the next decade, are expected to include works by Ovid and Aeschylus, plus a series of Christian gospels which have been lost for up to 2,000 years.

From the Monkey/SWAT news article earlier :

Truelove is spearheading the department's request to purchase and train a capuchin monkey, considered the second smartest primate to the chimpanzee. The department is seeking about $100,000 in federal grant money to put the idea to use in Mesa SWAT operations.

Wait a minute... aren't humans considered to be primates? The ape suborder Haplorrhini includes gibbons, orang-utans, gorillas, chimps and humans, I think.
