So I may have posted about this before, though that was probably ages ago. But in case I didn't, I've been trying for ages now to get myself a Mackentosh laptop through the Assistive Devices Program, which is a government thing in my country that pays for technology for qualifying people with disabilities. I say that because I, thankfully, am one ( Read more... )

Well. I've been making changes to my newly resuscitated home computer set-up! The accessible Facebook mirror wasn't working on my old one and it was really getting on my nerves. Lame? Probably. Don't get me wrong, I'm relieved beyond expression to have my home computer working again. It's so great to be able to check my emails without having ( Read more... )

So I've decided that I've been neglecting my blogs too much, and that I really need to start posting much more regularly again like I used to. I keep not having much to say and/or not feeling like organizing myself to say it, but I really want to get back into it ( Read more... )

Woohoo! So I've finally got my home computer back! Thank every deity known to humanity! Gods I've missed it! It's still clicking, but apparently that's because I busted the fan casing when I crashed the tower with the vaccuum-cleaner (not on purpose), so it's power-supply is going to have to be replaced because it's bent. Oops! Lesson? Never ( Read more... )

So I just sent a draft of my MRP (Major Research Paper=slightly undersized Masters thesis) proposal off to my soon-to-be supervisor for review before I submit it to the department. Wow! It's seemed a little surreal to me all year that I'm really doing this - that I'm really doing my Masters, and that I might really get to do it on Phantom, but ( Read more... )

So I recently downloaded this digital audio workstation program called Reaper. LOL don't ask me where they come up with these names. And it seems like it might even be quasi-accessible. But for some reason, both it and my other such program aren't recognizing my midi software, at least I think that's what the problem is, and therefore aren't ( Read more... )

So you remember that Myspace personal account that I accidentally created, that I wasn't receiving the email to finalize my cancellation of? Well they finally, *finally* got back to me! Unfortunately, I had already decided that, since they weren't going to get back to me in a timely fashion, and since I'd been able to change that account to a ( Read more... )

Ok. So I just yesterday bought new speakers for my computer, because I had fried my old ones. And then, last night, the volume knob stopped working. And by that I mean that, even though I was turning the knob, the volume wasn't changing unless I altered it from the system volume controls. Well, this evening, when I asked one of my neighbours to ( Read more... )

Damn it, some nice person has uploaded every single Star Wars on descriptive video, except for the one I really want! Well, I got Return of the Jedi, so I guess I can't complain too much. But where the hell is Revenge of the Sith? They've uploaded *every* other Star Wars movie except that one ( Read more... )

I was finally, just this afternoon, able to get my artist's profile on Myspace set up! They still haven't, that I know of, deleted my old account. But they did let me change it to a different email address, freeing up the email address that I wanted to use for my artist's profile. Thank goodness! I was afraid that the site would be dumb and ( Read more... )
