Hello everyone. This is a test of Inking on my TabletPC.
Well I have to say that I think I need to train this machine (a toshiba Portege M205) better on my handwriting (now I need to figure out how:)
To be honest my hand writing sucks (it has been compared to an Md's scrawl on a drug prescription pad way too often:). So usually when I want text recognition I block letter but that is not fast like handwriting is. A lot of the things I use this machine for tend toward graphics; add hock class diagrams, system flow diagrams, add hock white board stuff. I really like it for that functionality. Also I love OneNote except for the fact that you can not get the info back out of it there is no way to export the data back out of OneNote programmaticaly ( I have a bunch of programs I would love to write using a large amount of the functionality of OneNote but until there is an API to move data in both directions they will not happen).
The other use I have for this machine is that it makes for a great secondary development box (I have VS 2005 and the Avalon CTP on it); I love VS 2005 it is a large step forward in the productivity arena. The refactoring support is good(their are some more refactorings I would love to see it do but the ones provided are good (a possible enhancement is to allow end users to write our own refactorings (I wonder how hard that would be)).
Well I hope to be able to blog more from now on (I made my major deadline Jan.5) back last Friday Yeah!!! Now I will have more free time to really start writing ( I want to write a couple of articles over the holidays about the things I have been researching (Avalon, Indigo, the semantic web stuff, and how to tie all of them together).
Well I need to go I promised my oldest I would take her shopping (UGG) oh well. Until next time.
