  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
