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
