Architecting the Thought.

After a very painful data-migration process

The blog has moved to a new location: www.freshblurbs.com

Please, kindly update your RSS Reader with the new URL:

I apologize for the temporary inconvenience but in the long run the new server is going to be much more featue-rich and comfortable, benefiting both me and my kind readers.

I got a new Mac Mini today. There is no environment, for Java development, more peaceful and pleasant than Mac OS-X + IntelliJ IDEA

I love reading books, but my eyes are getting worse because of my profession that makes me sit near a computer screen the whole day. So I am getting less and less appealed to reading anything on a computer screen after work, as well. Alas, a lot of stuff to read (especially free ones) are on the Net.

So, I have been thinking, for a while, now - what if the text was read to me, while I relax, with my eyes closed? I did a simple search (guess where) and found this software: http://www.naturalreaders.com/  The quality is not bad - much better than what I have ever heard in text2speech (well, I am not an expert in that field but anyway) and it is quite bareable.

It is quite user-friendly, too and they do have a free version. Website claims commercial version is of better quality, tho.
