Can't help you with Windows, but your comment has inspired me. I'm just going to leave this here:

   if [ `uname` = 'Darwin' ]
   then
        speak=say
   else
        speak=espeak 
   fi

   while true
   do
        sleep $(($RANDOM%600))
        echo "I'm following you"  | $speak
   done

I'm working in IDL right now.

What do you typically write in? I'm guessing some variant of C.

Python pays the bills. Common Lisp is my preference. The last significant C program I wrote was a game engine for a realtime graphics class, and that was enough to convince me that I never wanted to do that again.
