Subject: Yay My Birthday
Hi everyone,
Monday is my birthday and my wife and I have so much planned to
celebrate.
I'm going to be 32. Though that is news, it also marks something much
more
important and is my own personal birthday present. It has been one year
that
I started scripting. I decided last year I was going to find a way to
make
programs accessible no matter what it took. I didn't realize how
important
this would be to everyone else at the time as I just thought I was some
coocky blind guy just pursuing his own interests. It wasn't until halfway
through Rhapsody that I realized that others might want this. A year
later,
and I've already got two projects. These are big programs and have taught
me
a lot. iTunes isn't done, but it has taken a giant leap and I thank you
all
for your support and playing with these scripts. I know I come out with
updates pretty quickly and it's sometimes hard to keep up, but still you
have been keeping up pretty well. As with the last birthday, I've resolve
to
keep doing scripts and making things more accessible to Jaws. I like
doing
it and I'm sure there are plenty of programs that you'd all like
accessible.
Since the summer is coming up and I have no school then, I plan to take
on
another project. I seem to be able to do this faster each project as it
gives me the experience I need. Each project gets me closer and closer to
making more complicated programs accessible. Thanks so much for your
support, and let's keep the ball rolling. I'm sure we can make a huge
impact
for the future of accessibility. Let's keep in mind what we want to do
next.
Cheers,
John Martyn
