PS - I hate voice recognition programs too... it doesnt understand me and I'm native English!

Thank you, Lou "Ace", for your word of welcome.

I was truly surpirised finding a personal line of text!

Well, voice recognition works much better when I speak Dutch to my computer. Maybe, -just very maybe-, Dutch is easier to understand for a computer, as in Dutch usually all the written characters are actually pronounced? For example: in 'neighbour', the 'gh' is not pronounced, and in Dutch we'd both say and write 'na-buur'.

greetings,

Maarten

Quite alright!

Hope you stick around... and questions don't hesitate to ask

*kicks computer* Ever since I accused it of being evil it hates me... *growl*

Ah well

Byebye *waves*

Dear Ace,

I wonder, I've written an entry a contribution,,... (on photo-voltaic devices), so now, what should I do with it or what happends with it?
I cannot find my article when I have the H2G2 searching for it.

Sorry if this is a really stupid question,...


kind regards,

Maarten

It's not a silly question!

Your article is here - A1133254 - just look for the "Recent Articles" section on your home page

I've read through and it looks great

I would send it to Peer Review - http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/PeerReview - it explains how to on this page
Here people will comment on it and it might eventually (anything from a week to a couple of months) be picked by a scout, then a sub-ed, and then it will be in the guide


Hope that helps - don't hesistate to ask anything (that's what we're here for )

Lou

Dear Lou Ace,

Thanks for your help and compliment...

Maarten
