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?
