I thought about something like that or qemu would be useful, but the problem is i need to use speak or yeast inside the vm. The terminal has too many speech interupts for me to try and use tintin effectively rather then getting my char on one of the muds i play killed repeatedly because i can’t keep up with the constant speech interupts.
Kind of sad that i want a vm just to play a couple muds but there you go heh. I tried to get yeast running from the command line already for some reason either it, the emacspeak server for mac or the tts are eating large chunks of text so that yeast is much worse then voiceover about missing things. I could try the mud client for mac, mudder i think it’s called, but i need something that can accept python or lua scripting. Sorry that’s probably more then you wanted to know, but didn’t have a quicker way of explaining it. Essentially i need to interact with the vm itself the same way others would use a windows vm on a mac. deedra waters [email protected] > On Dec 11, 2014, at 11:52 AM, Georgina Joyce <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello Deedra, > > Remember virtual box that some speakup users talked about? > > http://nakkaya.com/2012/08/30/create-manage-virtualBox-vms-from-the-command-line/ > > Gena > > Georgina Joyce > Applied Psychologist > Training and Coaching. > Because individuals of groups matter! > >> On 11 Dec 2014, at 19:43, deedra waters <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Well, first of all i’m more or less happy with what i got in terms of the >> macbook air. it’s portable and light which is good.
