It depends on which field you are working. I don't need the admiration of the public expressed in words. I like the admiration expressed in the number of visits on the page made by me, on the number of the clients I have, on the profit I get from those clients.
That's the best way of expressing the admiration, because otherwise.. the words are cheap.

Hi Inthane. Yuh i know the feeling man. I think that news like this should be applauded and encouraged, not just thrown out and ridiculed. If there is living prove that such an achievement has been accomplished, then why take the trouble to pour so much cold water on it? You know, pesimism can sometimes border on foolishness, especially the failure to except the fact that someone as disadvantaged as one's self can achieve something is not only being accepted, but even to the point of being raved about and admired. If that is not an achievement, then i really don't know what is.

Well, most of the sites that get awards in that contest, are horrible fromthe point of view of the blind. So a contest only doesn't mean anything.Please tell us where can we see the web page made by that blind guy, and Iwill tell you if a blind person can do it without sighted help.I've seen many messages on this list telling how cool web pages can a blind do, with with no single example.Octavian----- Original Message ----- From: <james.homme@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2007 3:42 PM Subject: Team Excellence Award WinnerHi All, Where I consult, one of our fellow listers was on a team who won a very prestigious award. The team developed a highly visible web application.Jeff Fidler designed and coded the GUI interface for the site using HTML, CSS and Javascript. He used Section 508 and W3C techniques and the sightedpeople in the company rave about it. I write this to urge anyone who thinks that someone who is blind cannot design Web interfaces well to keep on trying. You can do it.
