Well done putting in the effort to add the alt text, Mr. Goerzen! I came in here to point out the broken quotes as well. But as for the longdesc attribute, it appears that nobody uses it (http://blog.whatwg.org/the-longdesc-lottery).
I tried gocr and tesseract-ocr. Neither could make much more out of this than gibberish. Ocropus isn’t in Debian, so I didn’t have the time to try it. I hope that Clara’s trainable engine might be able to help me out though.
You’re dating yourself, John :-). I think only those who have never used typewriters for serious work can want to play around with them.
I’m old enough to remember the transition from typewriters to word processors. I remember typewriters as awkward and unforgiving. I always seemed to make a mistake on the last line of a sheet of paper, and too much whiteout would stick the page to the roller. The first time I used a computer keyboard, it took me all of five minutes to decide I was never going back.
But now that you need a workstation to match your new printer, may I suggest:
I know this post is pretty old, but are you still doing typed posts? There are a whole mess of people who are into typecasting, see the blogroll on my site. We’re always looking for other typecasters!
The text makes a very long line with w3m, but it works. ;-)

I wonder how well this is supported by web browsers? Especially text-mode ones like lynx, links, w3m, etc.
Also the downside of that is that Serendipity will not be able to index the text for searching. Though I wonder if Google would be able to.

might want to try ocropus ;)

heh, this is neat. =)
Hehe, this is quite fun! :)
Lacking a typewriter, I wonder about handwriting my next post.
That would certainly work. Pretty soon we’ll have people photographing stone tablets…
Wonderfully retro! I love it!
I grew up with computers, but also grew up with typewriters. There _is_ something different about the writing process.
You make me miss the typewriter I had at home with which I played a lot when I was a child.
