Psalms are comforting
Pastor just talked about the Holy Spirit being our comforter... just was reading a psalm and thinking about how unique they are. I read Psalm 102. It always amazes me how, inspite of all the problems the various authors undergoe, they always praise the Lord at the end of the Psalm. My plan is to read the Psalms throughout my radiation treatment this summer when things have the potential to be rather uncomfortable.

Hopefully fixed the theam!
Hopefully I got the theam fixed. Connie told me my blog was pink this morning, not exactly the color for a guy! I picked the harber templet. Connie said she had one which looked like a lighthouse. Anyone who reads this, please let me know if that's what this is. It's raining like crazy right now. I wonder when the snow's gonna start. We were able to make it out of town a couple of times over break. I bought an electric tea kettle and some noize canceling head phones. Tea still doesn't taste the same as when I make it on the stove, and the noize canceling headphones don't block out the buss noize. I still am able to adapt how I make tea so it tastes all right. This new theam is making Window eyes goe crazy. It keeps not letting me type. I am noticing there's less on the page with this one. Before, it had many different options displayed when I would create posts. Now, that doesn't seem to be so, which I like. The fewer the options, the less clutter I have to sourt through. I'll be getting Jaws back soon; I can't wait! More later,
Josh.

Got CD Burner XP working!
I just successfully burned a CD with CD Burner XP!!!! I found a tip on the FAQ section of their help page which recommended installing some software from Intel. I downloaded it, and installed it. I don't remember the name of it, but its function seems to be the re-instalation of the drivers for the optical drive. After the process had finished successfully, I tried burning a CD, and low and behold it worked. I'm sitting here listening to it with glee right now!
Woke up too early
Went to bed about 11:30 last night and woke up a little after 6! At least today's Saturday. I'm kind of sad because my Little Java House gift card's almost gone. After today, probably won't be able to goe back for a while.. I'm looking forward to going to Connie's house today. I'm hoping we can make it out of town for a day this week sometime, it'll be nice to get out of the house. I need to call Humanware because when ever I plug my 16 gig flash drive in, I have to reset my Braille note (my electronic note taking device) in order for it to be recognized. I'm hopefully gonna be getting the Jaws screen reader back soon. For some reason, Make a Wish sent me Window Eyes.. I'm finding itt's not as accessible across the board.

Let's try this again!
Boy, figuring out what's what on the page with the screen reader's a real challenge! This is my third attempt to post tonight. For the past two days I've had a, shall we say, one of a kind substitute aid at school. She seemed to goe through odd sperts where she'd want to talk, then she'd clamb up. She refused what so ever to talk about anything remotely personal about her, including ordinary things like hobbies, while on the job. She seemed most interested in talking about advanced philosophical subjects. Even there, it was like an engine miss-firing. She wasn't making a lot of common sense connections in much of it, and she was very unsure of her own opinions. Yesterday, I think I was a little to outgoing with my religious views to suit her. She brought up a subject which lead to the conversation which lead to her asking me whether or not I thought prayer would be enough to reveal the works of God. Before this, she had acted almost like she was Christian, but she liked to mix a little Daoist meditation in. I brought up, in what I thought an appropriate manner, folowing her question, the idea of salvation. Unfortunately, this scared her I think. I felt really bad and apologised later. The second day was much better. From this conversation, I learned that to deal with her effectively, it was best to follow her lead. Today we were able to converse much more freely. Asside from all this, I made some jambalya today for my independant living leson, and it was tasty! I'de like to make it at home now. Let's see, what else... found an awesome Firefox extention called web visum which, among other things, decodes web capshas and adds the results to the clipboard. This means no more trying unsuccesfully to decipher those rediculous audio clips when joining a forum or posting a blogspot comment! I got it up and running because I wanted to join a forum for CD Burner XP, http://cdburnerxp.se/ which is the best pease of burning software I've ever seen. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with the CD/DVDRW drive in this computer. I used Web Visum to handle the capsha in their registration form, and posted my problem Wednesday. I haven't gotten a reply, which makes me worry that I'm going to get the same unresponsive reseption I got on some of the Linux forums I've been on. Well anyway, happy spring break for those to whom it applys, and God bless to all! Hopefully this goes through.
