Hope all you girls are dying your hair green for Paddy's day and a possible
triple crown victory against Scotland on Saturday.
There were 14 participants today.
Discussions got underway with the problems of coming to terms with using a
Symbol Cane, a Long cane, and using a guide dog, with regards to your
mobility.
This all started after a chat about the new app to locate the nearest
traffic lights to you at any moment.
This is a trial app, and is still in development stage.
Mary said that locating traffic lights crossing was very good with the use of
a good guide dog.
But much more problematic for those of us using canes.
Then some talk on the Navi Lens in regard to train stations and bus stops.
Most people think that Navi Lens is a great invention, but requires much more
development to get more acceptance from a wider audience.
Eamon wanted to know how to add an electronic version of an air ticket to
your wallet
Simply purchase your ticket and a link to print of your ticket will appear
as well as a link to add an electronic version of the ticket to your wallet.
Of course it is possible and perhaps prudent also to have both copies of
your ticket.
Tom, wanted to know all about the wonderful work of Sightless cinema.
It is a group of people who take part every year in constructing a play
which takes part usually in Tallaght.
It is similar to a radio play, and I will send a e mail with a link to the
latest podcast.
Bert also pointed out that all the Sightless cinema podcasts are also
available through the U tube channel.
Tom also gave great praise to the latest course on Mindfullness organised by
Fighting Blindness.
It is an 8 week course , every Thursday and is run by Carol Carr. . .
Well done Carol.
Cearbhall told us that a link or document which has several dots after it,
means that this document can be extended to have much more information, but
when the document does not have dots after it, then you must tab to continue
your work.
Mary recently got a document which contained Text boxes, which her screen
reader could not read.
Cearbhall said that the adaptive software can not read these text boxes at
the moment.
He explained that it was possible to get around this problem, but it was long
and arduous.
Paul is not the greatest fan of Windows 10, and thinks that it is not as
good as Windows XP.
It was pointed out to Paul by Cearbhall/BERT, that the security around usage
of Windows 10 is much better than XP, and Paul accepts this fact.
But maintains that writing a document or using Power point or Excell is not
improved very much between versions 10 and Xp.
The advent of Ribbons in the latest versions of Windows does not do much for
VIP'S.
Bert told Paul how to get rid of Notifications on his Windows 10.
Windows key plus the letter I, which brings you to the settings menu,
Then tab to Notifications, and you will find out a link to turn off
Notifications.
Have a great ST. Patricks day, all of you.
Regards
Paul
