Article: [oats-sig] new opportunities

thank you for the replies, sounds like a friendly bunch.  In terms of what 
I'm interested in, I'm not really sure as this is quite different from what 
I'm used to, plus everything is a bit strange following the accident.  My 
background was in remote management (ipmi) and low-level C++ programming, 
sockets, MFC, server troubleshooting and server management and I've written 
the odd Linux script for server management configuration.

Obviously anything related to any of the above I would possibly be able to 
help with, recently I've been looking into speech recognition software, and 
as I have Dragon NaturallySpeaking preferred and can't afford the upgrade to 
professional ($500), I have been looking at NatPython/NatLink/Vocla for 
Advanced Scripting possibilities, and this will involve learning Python.

I have not been previously acquainted with Python, and have not been 
involved in web services development, excuse  my ignorance but I don't know 
anything about SVG's, Ally API's.  I will  have to read up on these areas.  
I have been looking at oatsoft, but this is a large area and it is all new 
to me.I will try to learn about jambu, and set up a LINUX server I haveto 
try it out on.

Sorry for the long warbling post, it won't happen again
thanks again
Tom
