So, asides from my friends only post, which friends should definitely check out, I haven't been up to much, though I have. On Thursday night I think I broke my mac book screen by accident. Guess I'll never leave it open on the couch again. :P It's an expensive lesson though, will probably have to pay 600 for it. There's ways it could be done cheaper, but at this point I just want the thing to work. I swear, I'm not that careless I just didn't expect that to happen lol! Good thing I'm ahead and for the moment on top of everything.

I must highlight this song, though many of you probably won't like it. It's a little prog for my tastes, but the melo doesn't really belong here. Sounds kinda nice.

Hey peoples, just writing an update here. Lately, I've been helping people with computer stuff, and I had been helping josh when I was contacted by a friend to help them out. They offered to pay me, so I am happy about that. It can help me pay for my macbook! lol anyway, so I went their today. I didn't really know what to expect because I was hearing conflicting stories, though I didn't worry to much about it. Others were telling me how hard he was to work with etc, but all I saw was someone wanting to learn and become more independent. It's a sharp turn from what I've been dealing with lately. O, secret under thoughts. Anyway, so today I went to their house to get aquanted. Very nice family. Kind of outrageous that kids are still not using laptops and technology in school the way they want in this district. Its crazy. If vision teachers only knew how much more a blind person has to learn, they'd understand why free learning environments around technology is a must. I think the whole system has to change, because it's not like a set bc machine should be used for this kind of learning.

So, back to the subject, Ilyaz. He's a very smart kid, and I think he has the ability to be as proficient as I am. Honestly, I have thought that about everyone I taught , even Maria. It's just some people have "it", and some don't. Its kind of hard to explain, because I don't think it's a lack of intellect, but it's just a difference in how their brain works, or maybe they learn a different way; I don't think I could fully answer why some people get it, and some don't.

So, I get there, and he wants me to install jaws, but that machine started acting weird, breaking the wireless connection, so no internet! Yay. So, then I get on his dad's machine, and the thing has this really unstandard keyboard. It looks like a midrange acer, or something. Actually I know it's acer, but yeah. It's an interesting situation, because the dad also wants to learn at the same time. His intentions are justified though. He wants to be able to help him. I think he's semi proficient with technology already, but he just wants to learn jfw keyboard control as well, so he can use the best of both worlds or something like that.

Anyway, I have Ilyaz's laptop, and at some point, I plan to go through it and see what could be causing the problems, but I predict a format in that machines immediate future.

Tonight I'm going out with
[info]daniellefoulds
and bryan to pasta polos. They have wireless, so I will do something nerdy there, maybe tweet. :D , or look up driving directions. That's what people do on a mac right?

At some point, I'lll do a music post, where I'll highlight the tracks that are blowin up my mind right now. I'm to lazy to find it, but Nadia Ali - Fantasy is pretty cool right now. I like the chill atmosphere, and it sounds cool when I'm feeling it[you know hwat i mean?]. Plus, it has a lot of vocals, something electronic music has become less about.

hello people!

So, I am back again. I'm using a mac. O yeah. Basically it was an aexcuse to reinstalll a livejournal client, and this thing does everything. So, I may post from time to time. Hey guys, I got a mac. It's a fun machine. THe commands and stuff are totaly different but it's not imposible.A lot of apps that aren't accessible on the windows side are accessible on the mac, so fun times for me. There's some real anoying things, such as no keystroke to unmute speech. Kind of stupid that you have to rely on touch pad router just to unmute speech, if you don't have sited help. Seriously apple, put a keystroke. Very anoying when you wake up and are doing a demo of voiceover on team talk and the god damn speech stops and the only solutions eather require touch pad commands to work, which didn't randomly even though trackpad commander is on. The keyboard is a tried and tested input method. Support But seriously I use my mac mostly for IM and twitter. It's much better especially for IM. Adium is amazing compared to the solution I use on the pc. General screen reader performance is a bit slower then jaws, but it kind of makes up for it in the way you navigate around the screen, if you know the interface it's easy to get used to an interface.

Best of compilation for 2009!
