Hi all
the update for xp is a shell update.
this seems to effect windows messenger, be prepaired to clean out
your contacts, as you will be asked to add every contact you had
could have had and have already in your list.
I eventually had to kill my contacts and add things back in, blocking
as I went I have a clear contact list now but in future you will
have to probably block someone before removing.
Hey! Here is podcast 120 of the technology blog and podcast series. I’m interested in your thoughts on this latest virus that we talk about. We’ve even got a Magnatune tune from a new artist which i acutally enjoy. Her name is Lydia McCauley and you can read this biography and listen to the CD free of charge. We have the full list of things in the beginning of the cast after our sponsors and other introductory material. One thing I did talk about briefly was the Jared Rimer Network Advertisement page and we talk about the policies there. So, now that you know some of whats going on on this cast, why not grab your 111mb file right here? I think its a great idea, and one I think you’ll want to do. So, go! Go get it! And Remember to join me for another cast where Herbie will be along with a brand new toy, well, its not new in the sense of new tech, but new for him. He’ll talk about that on hopefully the next podcast. Enjoy!
Hi.
not sure if this is related but after updating windows messenger
decided to readd all my contacts.
I ended up in killing most of the database of which I did not want.
I then ended up blocking and then not adding all the contacts to stop
them coming up and now it works.
However this is obviously a bug in the update as there is really not
supposed to be this thing where stuff you don’t want appears.

I thought everyone should see this, since i’m looking at the trend micro blog. Might want to know aobut this now. This is a good thing.
Hi all.
firstly before I start an out of band update has been released its
another remote hacker type thingy.
please get it and restart the system.
now for the articles.
you need to read http://therangerstation.blogspot.com to understand this.
HOwever on the subject of readers and such, I feel that although
the mac and voiceover is a real good reader the fact is that its
still a lot of cash for a mac more than a pc.
I am also not a big fan of the touch screen.
the keyboard is much better for me at least.
Though I have friends and fammily that use touchscreens including
blind friends that can go real fast over them.
I have never used a cellphone for anything bar messenging and talking
mostly its texting.
As for the screenreader industry yeah apple sertainly has got it
there all the companies are going and suing eachother and such.
I have not gone up to win7 because of the cost to update all that
software especially when I have no use for the extra upgrades
including anything over ie6.
If I had a choice between xp and something else I’d do xp since i
don’t need anything else.
I think though that as blind people we should bite the bullet, the
classic windows interface is the best interface for the blind.
Actually dos is the best interface for the blind or linux.
Since not all of us use linux or wish to and since dos is really not
an option anymore we will have to get used to it.
as for the ribbon, I’ve always got the menu thing going for me aand
so thats what I use.
I have never needed any advanced office features either.
I know classic interface addins for office exist.
I still use an old windows messenger.
I still use a lot of old software because it works and works well.
This doesn’t mean I havn’t bothered about changing.
I can technically run 7 on at least 2 of the 3 systems I have.
I have ie8 on 2 of those systems and could run it on my own if i so wanted.
I have no care for all the search boxes and other things in win7 but
if that is the way we go I suppose I will just have to get used to it.
I am not ruling out speech recognition though.
I suppose in the case of screenreaders none of them gwmicro, freedom
scientiffic or dolphin oceanic has the entire market of vi users.
neither does nvda but still.
And lets not forget the older generation that can’t afford anything much.
I don’t mind apple taking over everything either to be honest, if
macos was the first os and apple was in the same position ms was and
it was ms that started pcs after apple then it would probably fail.
One thing I really like about apple’s in general is the scifi tech
already in them.
ie buttons in the keyboard, and the slot drive.
they have and are quite quiet systems their pc brothers still make
some noise even the quiet ones.
What do you think of this? Seeming to have problems reading this, will hopefully come back to it later on, but from i read, I’m not sure. Wanna read the rest of this one entitled:

Just reading this first page makes me wonder what is up with this world. Not allowing people to use what they want because you can’t monitor them? Hello? Its called privacy, those of us in the U.S. and Canada have, although we may be loosing it soon, but not like this. Wow, just wow.
