Sunday, 28 September 2014. NVDA And Custome Braille Display. It is not possible, within NVDA, to create and add your own braille tables, but it is possible to edit / change an existing one. The need to change arose for a couple of reasons - firstly, we did not like the number character, and preferred instead to use the dot-8 to indicate numbers. Secondly, we wanted some of the accents to be included, but, in general, to stick the the English Grade 1 wherever possible. For numbers, we want to use dot-8, r...

Monday, 16 December 2013. Cross-Compiling QT5 Windows Applications on Ubuntu 13.10. I've built a QT application which runs on both Linux and Windows using QT4.8, but found that the accessibility features on QT4.8 are lacking on Windows (for example, a simple text-entry dialogue box will read the contents, but not show them up on a braille display, using Jaws 14). I opted to make the move to QT5, and I wanted to ensure that:. The accessibility features were enabled. Setting up the Environment. See at the ...

The amateur scribblings of a surrealist-in-waiting. Friday, 23 August 2013. 8216;Does your boyfriend, I mean, partner smoke? 8217; he asks, trying, but failing, to make the question seem as casual as possible. He’s already clocked that her fingers are bare of adornments, a promising sign. She takes a puff of her cigarette, and replies without looking at him. 8216;No’. Another puff. 8216;I don’t have a boyfriend.’. Let's use the self-service. That one's free.'. I don't like them.'. Come on. Why queue?

http://thepoisonedslipper.blogspot.com/2013/09/early-days.html
The amateur scribblings of a surrealist-in-waiting. Tuesday, 10 September 2013. One day, two croutons washed up on dry land at the edge of the primordial soup. It's our big chance. Let's escape this liquid environment,' said the first crouton. Where shall we go? The world is our yet-to-evolve marine bivalve mollusc,' replied the first. 'How about that way? But we have no means of locomotion.'. The first crouton sighed inwardly and joined his companion. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Inspector Squirr...

Saturday, 7 August 2010. Netgear DG834 Tech Support. Been in contacts with Netgear Tech Support by email, and it is extremely frustrating. I am trying to get to the point where I can request a feature, but the first thing I need to do is establish that the feature is needed, so I started with a question. There are four ways forwards:. Run my own DNS server on the LAN (the only box I have is the webserver, and it doesn't have the software). I contacted Netgear, and got frustrated because:. Anyway, for you...
