Please Sign Web Braille Petition Online

15th May 2006 • Dave

For the reasons described in Jonathan Mosen’s post a couple of days ago, it is important the whole blind community make our voices heard about this. Even if, like me, you are outside the US, the implications of the seeming demise of Web Braille are very worrying indeed.

Gerrard: We summoned up spirit of Istanbul – Telegraph

14th May 2006 • Dave

It was a rollercoaster for everyone. With eleven million viewers on BBC One, plus however many were watching in pubs up and down the country, England is warming up for the world cup.

My condolences to West Ham fans for their team’s defeat in Saturday’s cup final. If I am completely honest the Hammers were probably the stronger team over the 120 minutes. The 2005 European champions were definitely stretched and the first half an hour was probably Liverpool’s worst of the season.

As an England fan I know only too well it’s always gutting to loose on penalties. But at the start of the season who would have tipped West Ham to even be in the FA Cup final at all? And in this year’s FA Cup tournament, Liverpool were the best side. So while I reckon West Ham won the Psychological battle on Saturday, Liverpool have been made to work hard over the tournament as a whole against the likes of Man U and Chelsea to take their 7th FA Cup back to anfield.

Stevie G was undoubtedly the difference. And if Liverpool are going to ever win the Premiership then they need to stop pinning their hopes on one player.

I wonder how Trev Brooking is taking it? I’ve not heard him since the final. 🙂

Two months to go for Windows 98se

11th May 2006 • Dave

What Microsoft do not want you to realise is that Windows 98 will continue to work and function normally beyond this date. It is highly likely that if you bought your hardware at the same time as Windows 98 then you probably will not be able to use Windows XP on your old 98 machine anyway.

but, if you have 98 running on an offline machine, and your just using it for playing classic games or wordprocessing, and it aint broke, then don’t try to fix it.

If you want to use the internet safely, and take advantage of modern applications, then check your hardware is on the Hardware Compatibility List for Windows XP before running out and buying it.

AJAX and screenreaders, when will it work?

11th May 2006 • Dave

A fantastically comprehensive piece about the AJAX challenge for screenreaders. Someone may want to tell the author that the screenreader from GW Micro is called Window-Eyes, not Windows-Eyes. 🙂
