A lot of people are worried about computers listening in to what you’re doing. Some of the people’s points are valid, while others come across as totally paranoid. But what does your computer hear in the background?
I left my copy of VoiceAttack going after I finished playing Elite without realising it. I didn’t have my mic on but it was live on my desk. VoiceAttack uses the speech recognition system built into Windows and this is what my PC thought I was saying…

So, not got to worry about SkyNet just yet. It’s still pretty interesting though; some words that make sense from work discussions (“Mailbox”, “Migration”, “Office”, “Routes”) and some I can take a guess at (“vis-a-65” is probably Office 365 for example). There are a few that sound roughly like technical phrases I use.
Some revelations too. “Sony is the has of my favourite fishing” and “as if half the for-life of the half life than one life staff at the Hague” are points I’m going to remember from this point on.
And who the hell is Sonia O’Sullivan?
