Activewords

So I promised Buzz, after some email exchanges, that I’d download a trial version of ActiveWords sometime soon. Now, this particular piece of software has been on my radar since I first saw Scoble using it at Gnomedex I back in 2001. The problem I’ve had with it, and the reason I’ve never really bothered to try it out before, is all me. It’s actually a nice little tool, that I’m sure would come in handy for a lot of people in a lot of situations but I don’t know how I’d use it. I’ve been using Windows since version 3.1. I’ve gotten pretty used to using it, and I don’t know that I can handle a major change in the way I use my computer! We’ll see, I’m going to load it on the laptop, which seems to me the one machine that I usually try and be quicker on, and I’ll let you all know after I’ve been using it for awhile how it works, and whether it makes enough difference to get me to change the way I compute!

  • Doesn’t get more fun than this

    Yes, since I’m responsible for the “pool” laptops that are available to our attorneys for use outside of the office, and since they’re all Dells, I spent a good part of my Monday checking for laptop battery recalls. Yippee for me! I’ve gotten through about half the laptops we have and haven’t found one yet…

  • ActiveWords and what I’d really like

    So I’ve been using ActiveWords for a few weeks now, and I’m liking the ability to add some shortcuts, and the auto correction of misspellings no matter what application I’m typing in, but it’s missing something. What I’d really like is something that will actually record keystroke or mouse clicks and let you automate certain…

    My wife, after reading that last post, came to me last night and said “That was a little too Andy Rooney for my tastes, what happened to my husband?”. Ouch! OK, I admit it, I’ve been taking life a little too fucking seriously. Time to crank up a Too Much Joy CD and remember that…
