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.
