It's the one where I talk about trying Vinux Virtual for the first time. I would take that content and expand it just a little. That would become my story. Oh, and we need to get more funds for that crown. If you hold your breath long enough, we might be able to arrange it. Jim Jim Homme, Usability Services, Phone: 412-544-1810.

Hmm a crown would be ok to. Seriously though I haven't looked do you have any up there yet because if you do I might be able to get a couple other people to let you interview them. ken From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Homme, James Sent: Monday, April 11, 2011 2:00 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Our Stories Was: Searching for blind programmer to start a school for blind programmers Hi Ty, I was thinking that if people don't want to actually write their stories that I would call them maybe on Skype, get their permission to record the conversation, just use it to write the story, then destroy the recording. Each story would maybe be something like five or six paragraphs. I'd ask you just a few questions and let you talk. I think that it might influence other people who are blind, and those who work with us, that we can really program, and be an encouraging thing. I want to make NDN a really good resource, and it is on its way, so you are going to get tired of hearing me talk about it, contribute, or both. <grin> Jim Jim Homme, Usability Services, Phone: 412-544-1810.

I thin we can learn from others who have been successful in a career as a blind person.

You know, in dealing with people with significant disabilities, you need to be prepared for people with attitudes. What amazes me is how many fully blind people, who get screwed in so many ways, are kind, considerate, and basically find a way not to seem like the angry SOBs they have a right to be.
