Hi all.

I really like firefox.
It’s fast loads pages very very quickly and it just works.
I can’t believe how quick these pages actually load.

I’ll be doing a comparrison between internet explorer and firefox on my next podcast today.

Long live Mozilla.

It’s a great program and I want everyone who uses window eyes 5.5 beta 1 to try it out.

Make sure you check the below link for info and instructions on firefox.
gwmicro firefox support

Come on tuesday please. The pda of life will arrive with a stroke of luck.

Ok my new pda is finally on order now.
I chose the hp ipaq hx 2750.
It’s going to be fantastic and i’ll be sure to let everyone know how it goes when I get it.

It’s gonna be fantastic.

I also went over to Murray’s today and had a great time.
We had pizza for dinner and also had a few westcoast coolers and some beers.

very very nice afternoon.

See ya tomorrow or monday.

Ok firstly my Dad is coming home from Hospital. This is super news cause I have missed having him here at home it’s just not the same.
Also on other fronts, the new window eyes 5.5 beta 1 available from
Window eyes beta page

Is available to try.
So far I love the run window eyes in the system tray. Also the speed is around the same and I yet haven’t tried firefox but will await the 1.5 release.
Also finally have decided on the pda device i’m wanting.
I’m gettting the hp ipaq hx 2750.
Tried mobile speak pocket on a friend’s pda and man oh man I was very very impressed.
Will report more on this when I get the pda device.
That’s about it for now so will talk to you all later on.

OK i’d like to say I think now that the gizmo project has passed version 1.0.1, it’s not too bad accessibility wise.
I’ll be doing a podcast either this morning or tomorrow giving a demo on how good the gizmo project sounds.
Still awaiting some people to grab a copy and play with it.
I’ll do a phone post using the calling feature so you can compare the quality.

Am really looking forward to the fish and chips tonight. Should be absolutely bloody awesome.

Ok the gizmo project is now worth a look.
I’m looking for some testers so if anyone wants to test it out with me, drop me a comment here in the journal and we’ll take things from there.

Thanks.

Ok I must express my disappointment with ourmedia.org
I’ve noticed Larry from blindcooltech moving his podcast files over to this site.
Well folks, I have to say, very very pour transfers while downloading files from that ourmedia.or site.
The best I was getting was 21k a second morning noon or night. I suggest Larry looks at libsyn.com
Although it’s 10 dollars for 250 megs a month, It’s easy to manage your files they do the rss feed for you and the service is very very reliable.

Speaking of podcast, i’ll be producing one this weekend folks so hang on to your hats and await the next wormcast from the worm himself.
It’s gonna be a beauty.

Ok firstly i’d like to know why people in the blindness community arn’t getting excited about p d a pocket pc devices?
for 500 dollars you can have a pocket pc device that is like a mini laptop and does everything yourlaptop can do plus more.
Windows mobile 2003 and you can get these fine devices with inbuilt phones and without inbuilt phones.
I’m going to be checking them out cause i’ve wanted a small pda device for ages now just didn’t have access to a screen reader.

I want everyone to get excited about having access to the new pda revolution. come on stand up and fucken shout to the heavens we now have access to the sighted pda market.
It’s a great thing for the blind a great thing for all and fuck access to skype for pocket pc.

Now I can actually sit on the shitter and talk on skype.
It’s awesome it’s cool it’s out there and I want people to start showing some enthusiasm here and check out a pda.
I’m not saying go and buy one, i’m saying go and take a look at a pda windows mobile device and enjoy the power enjoy the new life you’ll get from a pda and best of all, can you believe it msn messenger and icq on the go. Fuck i like the idea already.

Ok here’s some news that will make the phone companies squeal with anger.

Free calls to australia the usa the uk ireland and other places for free.
Simply pay 1 euro and you can call the above countries plus more for nothing zilch free zip.

Ok I wanna shout long loud and tell the world about this fine memory managing app called Memturbo found over at
Memturbo website

Absolutely fine application and my memory is managed so officiently now I couldn’t ask for better.
I wanna personally thank my Western Australian buddy team of Gemma and Kerrry for this find.
They each deserve 3 tubes of pringles and a night out with a blond or something.
Also watch the journal tomorrow for a cool app you all will want terribly.
Memturbo gets 10 out of 10 in my book and I highly recommend the 29.95 us dollar price for this gem or should that read Gemma?

Again thanks and long live Memturbo and my buddies in Western Australia.
they should be commended for there efforts and given more money then bill gates and steve jobs put together.

Man oh man I wanna tell everyone about these hot voices from a company called loquendo.
Fuck these voices are to dye or should that be die for.
The below link
Loquendo tts demos

are the best voices i’ve ever heard.

very cool voices and the best part is if your running mobile speak on your symbian phone, you’ll be able to have one of these voices shortly.

Stay tuned to my fine journal for more info on these fine voices.
