Road Warriors Live

If you notice the time of the post from this morning.  You will see it was very early, especially for me.    I was up all night working on installing software on the new handheld PC. even though I liked the new PC since I got it just before the race.  Some of the new software installed has made this little thing just rock.

A got Dragon NaturallySpeaking installed.  Now I can speak directly in the computer without typing text.  This actually works pretty well and saves a ton of typing when doing blog posts.

Between that and my new OQO handheld computer.  My productivity and frequency of doing blog posts should increase dramatically.

These little handheld computers are awesome.  It runs full Windows PC software, and since I’ve installed Microsoft Office I can use Outlook for e-mail, and full versions of word, excel, power point.  I can now do my normal business on a PC that fits easily into my pocket.  I was having a problem with the smaller keyboard, but since I owned a Blackberry for years typing with just my thumbs wasn’t such a big adjustment.  Even though I was used to it.  It’s still took time writing longer e-mails or blog posts.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking has tied everything together  It has become a lot easier to pound out some of the longer text documents that I need to do.

This is also the machine.  I am using for live streaming video, while walking around town, attraction, or like last week at the NASCAR race.  If you watched the live feeds on the way to the Coca-Cola 600 you might’ve noticed that the GPS was in and out.  I think the problem has to do with how Microsoft handles Bluetooth and is not necessarily a problem with the computer.  I think we have a solution for that and we’ll be testing out this week.

This was more of a test post than anything else to check the new software.  If you have any questions about the new software or hardware please feel free to leave a comment. 

Thanks and stay tuned for more video.
