mr. flea spent half an hour on Saturday trying to get Siri to find him some gazpacho. It did not work.

In general Siri is a figure of fun in our house. She can't understand the children at all, so they like to talk to her and see what hash she makes of their sentences. It gets dangerous when she starts volunteering to telephone research professors in other time zones.

That reminds me of testing language software ages ago at the university I was teaching at in France and it mapping my English pronunciation as completely off because it was based on British English.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Google voice does a decent job of transcribing my voicemail messages, but my sister might as well be speaking heavily Spanish-accented English, because the miss rates are similar. Never anything usable from her, and I would honestly say she has no accent that I don't have.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

or maybe you liked their page?

I think that's it. But I don't see a way to unlike it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Go to their page and look in the upper right area of the page, I think it's on a drop down menu.

Help. I'm having Project 2007 issues.

I want to highlight some rows (maybe even bars if I get wacky), but when I select them, make all the choices in the "Format Text" menu box, I get all or nothing. If I don't select which areas, then, duh, the whole thing becomes yellow polka dots with red writing.

But I only want to do that to a selected group of tasks, and when I select "Highlighted cells" it doesn't change anything. What I am trying to do, basically is on the gantt chart distinguish really easily which team is responsible for what.

It's hardly likely to be pretty, but on the offchance it stops people replying asking where "their bit" was (pretty much wherever you see your name listed in the resource column)?

HAH. Good luck with that. I ended up having to go into each bar by hand and changing the color. I could not find a way to assign different colors by resources.
