As Far As I Can Tell

Correctly spelled photos

If you use a Windows computer and run Internet Explorer you should really check out ieSpell. It’s a free program that integrates with your browser to give you spell checking on any web page. Just right click in the form and choose “Check Spelling”.

This is super useful if you post to a lot of weblogs since rarely is there integrated spell checking. It’d be slicker if it could use my existing custom word dictionary from other applications like Word, but either way it’s awesome.

I know this post is kind of boring, but now you have no excuse for spelling errors in any comments you post.

Here are some photos I’ve taken in the last couple of weeks:

what a nice program. what I’m wondering is, why is it 2.38MB? I know that the program encompasses very many english words, but still… on a side note: I was wondering through your archives while waiting for dreamcast games to download from mIRC and I’ve notice that you used to put photos onto your weblog with more frequency. of course, I mention this on a entry that actually has photos but still is there any reason for this?

No real reason, except maybe that taking photos outside is more fun and my camera does a better job at it. I don’t spend much time outside these days. I’ll try to keep the photos coming. As for the file size on ieSpell, I’m guessing that you’re right in assuming most of it is the dictionary file. I’ve seen extensive dictionaries that are 10MB in plain text format. The installer is probably another 400K and the runtime librarys that have to be included even if they’re already installed and not needed probably taken another 800K.
