Hi Jacob,

Hard going to be on your own but worth it if one can make it.

Let me know if you need anything as far as invoicing/delivery notes etc.
Goes if your business takes flight. I do mine on excel and made it fairly
blind friendly. 

Thanks,

Carel Ewald

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.

Stay well

Hi Jacob, excellent, well done of taking the bold step out of the Anal
corporate environment, where you have to put up not only with transport
problems, but red tape, politics, and having to bum rush high-ups to
actually get somewhere.

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.

Thanks / Regards

HI there

Just to let you know, am no longer working for corporate company that was
working for up to now, due to not being able to sort out transport/physical
attendance issues.

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.

Stay well
