Tell me more -- what change? I made a strange discovery. I found out that I'm allergic to wheat and rice. Since I've dropped/cut-back on wheat and rice, my hands have felt tons better. In fact, I found I can type as much as I want without pain. Very weird. I've been hypothesizing that it is ultimately hormone related, but I cannot prove it. I wish more research were done on RSI. Oh, well. BTW, I finally found a job. I found it in August, actually. It's working on machine learning research at So_ny. I'm working as a temp and the contract is up for renewal at the end of February. It's not clear whether they'll renew the contract. If they don't, I just might get inspired to work on speech recognition stuff again. Who knows? > j
