Merry Christmas everyone. My wife got me a vacume cleaner for Christmas -- a Roomba robovac from iRobot. It's the coolest thing, and it even does a good job of cleaning our hardwood floors! I just wonder if anyone has hacked this thing yet.

I started playing around witht the festival speech synthesis package. Really cool and it runs great on my Powermac under YellowDog Linux 2.3. Cool. Now All I have to do is figure out how to get the speech to sound close to HAL, and to pipe it throughout my house!

This Friend/Foe thing is pretty cool. I just added Discoflamingo13 as a friend just because he has a Ti Powerbook running Gentoo Linux. Now that's pretty cool.

I'm sure the dynamics of this F/F stuff is worthy of a paper in IEEE's System, Man, and Cybernetics jounal, but with a 2-week-old daughter (and a 2 1/2 year-old daughter!), who has time?
 

Hey, what's this? A journal? A blog? neato.
