Hi,

There might be a bug with software speech, I don't know because I don't 
use it.  The messages you're getting with strange numbers and your 
uptime are from zsh.  Switch to bash and that will go away.  I couldn't 
stand zsh doing that either.  It only creates unnecessary confusion for 
speech users unless you really need/want that information.  What you're 
seeing isn't actually your uptime, it's how long it took a particular 
command to run and the drain on your processor etc.
