Lol, indeed. But she can do it and has been doing good so far.

Your custom solutions could really help out a lot of people.

I've been working on a small program that might be released that aids in using a mouse for the blind. As she never uses the mouse everything is accessed by hotkeys at the moment. Navigation is limited to arrowing or tabbing around. The main problem was trying to explain the environment to her. You never really have to explain "Windows" or a dialog to someone but try it sometime - it isn't easy lol. Blind users can usually handle it if they know where their limits are i.e. you can only go so far to the right or left etc. But with a multiple document interface there isn't a limitation shit just keeps opening on top of one another. So, she kept getting confused as to where she was. Its hard to explain that you did something on one dialog, closed it but are still within the program itself. She's getting it now though.

Hey Jarrod, sorry mate I'm pretty busy coding some stuff for myself at the moment. Yes, PHP is one language I use often. Also, I'm heading up north for a few weeks. Good luck though.
