Why don't OCR programs ever let you open an existing image for OCRing? (This includes the XSane front-end and every Windows OCR program I've ever used, which is one program, but it was also buggy. What's XSane's excuse?)

(I should enable uploads, so I can display the IRL-cards I also got...)

Operational
- Issuepedia: an Encyclopedia of Issues (5/4: no content yet)
- SquadWiki: online community with Niftyness!™
- vbz.net: online store (wiki page)
Under Development
- Software
  - HyperMoney accounting database program: (4/15) usable for balancing checkbooks, but no Nifty features working
  - HyperMail email management database program: (4/15) working out kinks in Thunderbird import code
  - HyperFile file and media management database program: (4/15) in design phase; tables and some code written
  - HyperPlayer media database/jukebox which allows browsing & playing audio (and eventually video) by artist and album, eventually also by songwriting, performance, and production credits.
- Other
  - CyberLife: where I hope I'll be living in a few decades
Trivia
- Epigram word silliness program

(2005-04-21) Interplanetary Internet Project
(2005-03-27) Star Trek New Voyages: fan-produced, freely downloadable episodes of new stories from the 4th and 5th year of the original 5-year mission. Maintains the look-and-feel (and -sound) of the original series, but with CGI effects.
(2004) OpenCyc: a project to put basic "common sense" into an open-source database.

(2005-05-11) BYU Article about nitpicky religious discrimination -- possible Issuepedia fodder?
(2005-05-11) American Conservative article about Bush's "free-speech zones" - a conservative article criticizing Dubya??
(2005-05-01) Computer Rage Article - my dad thinks I should be working in this field; I think they've figured out how to franchise it, so there really isn't space for independent operators anymore (if there ever was). Plus my time commitments make it impractical to be "on call", even if I could stand to answer the phone for a living.
(2005-04-22) Missy Higgins - Australian singer recommended by Yaira. Songs available for continuous lo-fi listening but no downloads.
