Thanks. Appreciate it, and, yes, am just a little tired of trying to completely fit in with their interpretation of how we do/handle things - and you can take that any way you want...<smile> Among other things, these guys generally seem more interested in your physical presence, rather than the actual presence of your productions/work if that makes sense, but anyway. Like have mentioned to other people already, am finally starting to maybe agree with an occupational therapist who told me back in roundabout early 2007 that some types of VI/blind guys are only really going to be comfortable working in relatively informal environments, and that doesn't apply to not producing output, but more along the lines of not really wanting to act too much like their version of a normal person, if you get my drift. Also means that will, for a little while at least, be able to sort of focus on some things have been working on sort of after hours for a little while, like some forms of instructional material/environments, as well as my own versions of certain types of software that are things that have thought would be nice for us to have available at stages.

I will send out your email and technical jargon to people who will understand what you can do, etc. and they can maybe assist with loose work, contract, etc. can't promise, but can try.

Either way, part of reason am sending this out to people is to let them know this does also mean am again available for things like piece-work/contract work, etc. in terms of web development, windows software development, where have been working in the python programming language, primarily focusing on aspects of interfaces/functionality which are usable cross-platform to a certain extent, but have also built in text-to-speech output, sound playback functionality, etc. for what it's worth. In terms of web development, while haven't done too much new work on that recently, old principles are still there, and, while in past primarily worked in versions of ASP, the last stuff have really done much with are things like PHP, MySQL, JQuery for client side interaction, etc., but anyway - know these terms won't mean too much to everyone, but can also supply you with a copy of my CV if you want. Aside from this type of thing, I will also be looking into possibly getting a bit more involved in versions/forms of computer training for other guys, etc., but anyway.
