Re: OT: Any Web Designers Out Here?
Hi Christine, I would refer those people to the screen reader developers. - Original Message - From: Scott Howell To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 4:26 PM Subject: Re: OT: Any Web Designers Out Here? Eric I could not agree more. I found a site that I would love to be in a position to tell the devs what they need to do or direct them to a resource that would help them make their site more accessible. I think the site is built in html5 and java script. However, not being familiar with html5 I only see stuff that tells me about the java script and a butt-load of style sheet references. I should have kept up with all the html stuff, but unfortunately I have not and so my knowledge is pretty limited now. :) If you know where I can find a good set of references that could be shared please let me know.

I'm hoping someone can assist with something. In a nutshell, there is a site, http://www.yourmorals.org which enables you to take surveys on fascinating and intriguing aspects of morality. After you take the surveys, there are often color-coded and otherwise graphical representations of your scores as compared to others who took the surveys. Most results are therefore inaccessible. I wrote to the webmaster and received no reply, and I wrote to the man many of whose studies are discussed at this site, Professor John Haidt. He did respond, stating that it had never occurred to him that people with "limited sight" would be able to take their surveys, that it is an interesting consideration, but that he does not think anything can be changed until they get more money for updated web design. Is this the sort of thing which is really that expensive and time-consuming? I don't know enough about it, so would appreciate off-list feedback -- I can send anyone who wants more information the correspondence in question. It's one of those things that really could be, and should be, open to us, with the technology which is at our disposal.

Re: Mac book pro running very hot
Hi, Someone did a podcast on this. Go to http://gwenna.podbean.com - Original Message - From: "johns.kary" To: Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 7:20 AM Subject: Mac book pro running very hot Hi guys, I've got a strange problem hear, and I'm really hoping it's software not hard ware. A couple of days ago my Mac book pro started running hot, the fan would kick in a short time after start up, and would pretty much run constantly from there until I shut down again. Now, it's the middle of winter hear in Australia, so the temperature hardly get's above 20 Celsius, Even with the heater going my lounge-room is definitely not hot enough to up set the MBP. I checked all the usual culprits, Things I'd forgotten to remove from the finder, apps running in the background, ect, no deal it still happened. I ran a permissions repair, worked for about a day, then started all over again. So I went deeper and had a look at the activity monitor. Most things are running at 0.0 or or not much higher, except for one. Something called "applespell.service" was varying between 84 and 99%. I quit it, and it went back to 0.0 and my MBP immediately started cooling down. A short while later it started heating up again and the fan cut in and remained on again. I went back and checked, and sure enough applespell.service" was running at 99%. Once again I quit, and things cooled down again. It's been running at 0.0 for a bit over an hour now, the Mac is a lot cooler, and the fan hasn't kicked in once. So I'm assuming I've found my problem. The thing is it seams to be reoccurring frequently. Does anyone have any idea what's going on hear? Do you guys think I've found the problem, or am I completely off the mark? I'd really like to fix this my self, not only for the satisfaction, but my nearest apple store is an hour and a half away, and finding transport for that long a trip can be tricky at best. :). Thanks in advance for any thoughts-help. A very! frustrated, Kari. Ps all software is up to date. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Questions about running Windows on a Mac
Which method is easier for a blind user? I've heard that you need sighted assistance to setup Bootcamp. - Original Message - From: "M. Taylor" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2011 5:54 PM Subject: Re: Questions about running Windows on a Mac Hi. Your question asking if BootCamp or Fusion is the best for running Windows on a Mac has no definitive answer as the word "best" is subjective. Both BootCamp and VM Ware Fusion will allow a blind or low-vision Mac user to run Windows effectively on a Mac. I use them both and have always been happy with the results.

web sites using flash
Hello all, I'm currently in talks with a potential client. What's the verdict on the use of flash when creating web sites? Below you'll find an abbreviated version of an email, from this person, that made me want to ask about this. At present my company is gearing up to launch a site to give tours for those who have autism and asperger's (as well as other special needs). We will also be offering weekend tours for everyone (not just autistic spectrum) as part of the site too -- weekend historical and cultural trips. That said, I have about two weeks to put a site together, soup to nuts, talking about the various offerings and explaining our itinerary in detail. I was seriously thinking about using Wix flash based sites for the offerings-- have you ever worked with them? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
