Today, while I was at work I got in to a really nostalgic mood. Something strange happened to me. Since I had to work at the security department I could not surf online all the time. The ’security computers’ have other configurations. While it was very quiet it even happened to me to grab a book. Yes a book and not an e-book, but a genuine, old-fashioned book. You know this bundle of pages with text printed on.
What to do with this item, what to do with a book? Off course you immediately judge it on his cover even before having a look at its content. Then you scan the whole book with the help of an OCR-software, before turning it into a PDF. After having done all this work you open the file and let a screen reader do the job. I use one that is programmed by my beloved payslip-editor since it is also compatible with Flash (more info here), but the main reason why I use this particular one is that I don’t have to pay for it.
There is also a plug-in for Firefox. But so far for the manual on how-to-use-a-book.
Today I was reading some very ‘intellectual and sophisticated’ stuff, written by William Shakespeare. A master work of literature, or actually I was listening to all this. The title of the book :: Insults for the Office.
Yes I was in a good mood and wanted to make some new desktop-backgrounds. Since I know that some of my colleagues read this blog, I will not tell what quotes I stole from William S., but people who have ever read some of his work know that the effects will be witty.
