Speak is a quick little utility I threw together from old BSD code, and utilizes MacOS X’s underlying speech engine.
It’s a command line utility, which is odd for all but the most geeky of Mac users – mimmicing cat, mincing the data given to it, and rather than displaying it on the terminal, it will speak it through your Mac’s speakers, as demonstrated in this MP3.
Enough of the banter, I’m sure you want to get to speaking your text files.
I must admit to being shocked by the messages I’ve received asking me to return the beloved “Oom-Pa-Pa” tune available upon my website. It’s been at least one a month since I’ve removed it. This is a mere resampling and re-loop of the theme music to the Matrix Parody, “Computer Boy”, nearly gaining a cult status in Australia.
Sadly, I removed it due to a lack of adequate space on my website, and did not keep a recent archive – however, I broke down and dug out my backups.
For those of you who are dying for their fix, here it is, once again.
This is a trivial little thing, but it may be useful for you.

Since changing over to a new machine, I’ve had to recreate my development system, and try to focus a bit upon one of the most neglected: The very software which I use to create my site.
It’s unfeasable, even with my new traffic and space allotment to attempt to do development on a staging system before getting the basic bugs worked out.
Rather than contending with my old system of a custom compilation of PHP 5 with fallbacks to PHP4, I’ve opted to reinstall Marc Liyanage’s PHP build of PHP4.
Knowing that this might aid others, here it is.
I’m a bit late to the game, but I’ve finally got my beloved Mac back, and thus, development is on track!
My build of MKVToolNix has been updated to release 1.01.
