Hi All,

Just to wrap this around in a positive note, please do remember my name as I 
don't use this gmail account for any official marketing or other emails. I stay 
quite informal about things when in macvisionaries or viphone, meaning that I 
don't find it really necessarry to paste a full signature etc, but provide just 
the essential. 

I do agree that I could have added a few more paragraphs. Perhaps the engineer 
in me just keeps it basic, and the enthusiast in me thinks everyone will get 
the sincerity of my tone from the get go.

In any case, bygones are bygones and I'm happy to get the replies and the email 
contacts to start distributing the beta for improving the experience.

I will write a second email in regards to the improvements and some background 
on the app.

Hello Yuma,

I apologize if you perceived my post as negative, but I am far from new on this 
list having been a part of it for about 8 or 9 years. I am however not a Mac 
user so wouldn't know you from the macvisionaries list. Yes, I could have 
Googled Oseyeris, but in this case I didn't and I just pointed out what to me 
were a few red flags, e.g. not a little bit more of an explanation or that 
apart from in your email address no name was even mentioned.
As Mark pointed out, spam isn't new on this list and while he does a great job 
getting rid of anything which does make it through, it does happen.
Also, if you were on some other lists like Jaws or Win10 which you are probably 
not a member of for the same reasons why I'm not on any Mac lists, you would 
know that I am typically known as a fairly experienced, objective and moderate 
list member who often tries to be the voice of reason when posts become heated 
and in the case of Viphone as somebody who has contributed his share of posts 
trying to help.
Having said all that, I hope we can just put this behind us as a 
misunderstanding, again sorry if the way I phrased my message was rude or 
dismissive. By the way, having now taken a look at what you do I find it quite 
interesting and I wish you the best of luck with it.

Hi sieghard,

By definition a co founder is someone who founded a startup I'm the blind guy 
in the duo, and I do all the different software architectures for the team. I 
also do a podcast series on coding for 3D sound and audio using the swift 
language and X-code. I'm based in Brisbane, and I think a few users on this 
list know me, including Cara Quinn and mark.

 I have been a member of macvisionaries since 2010 and this list has greatly 
helped, especially in terms of mac stuff. 

If you don't want to click on the link, and first check out what I actually do, 
including the research to make this app possible, it's your right, but I'll ask 
you not to start treating or accusing me of some kind of scam or bad intention

blind people like myself to enjoy the skies in a few different and thoughtful

If you're the new turf boss of this mailing list, good on you. I'm just a

2018-08-11 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I get where Sieghard is coming from, but I'd suggest that he could have 
just not assumed the worst and just asked some questions for more 
information, such as "Before I click on anything could you tell us a 
little bit more about ...?" Alternatively, he could have also just hit 
the delete button. On the other side, I'd say Yuma could just try to 
ignore the negativity in Sieghard's message and see that he is asking 
for more information which would be good to see on the list.

Also sieghard,

If you don't have the intuition to click elsewhere from the contact form, 
here's the website at the lab page:

https://www.oseyeris.com/the-lab

The lab page has a lot of info on how I went about working on the star gazing 
app.

I'm just putting this in case people think I'm going to try and extort money 
from them or whatever your assumptions are.

In this page will appear the blog and podcast on the star gazer, as a 
discussion on how it can be made better, what features people would want 
outside those I have thought out with my team, etc.

Cheers

Hi sieghard,

By definition a co founder is someone who founded a startup I'm the blind guy 
in the duo, and I do all the different software architectures for the team. I 
also do a podcast series on coding for 3D sound and audio using the swift 
language and X-code. I'm based in Brisbane, and I think a few users on this 
list know me, including Cara Quinn and mark.

 I have been a member of macvisionaries since 2010 and this list has greatly 
helped, especially in terms of mac stuff. 

If you don't want to click on the link, and first check out what I actually do, 
including the research to make this app possible, it's your right, but I'll ask 
you not to start treating or accusing me of some kind of scam or bad intention 
from the get go, as this is purely an invitation to test out an app that allows 
blind people like myself to enjoy the skies in a few different and thoughtful 
ways.

If you're the new turf boss of this mailing list, good on you. I'm just a 
veteran here.

A++

RE: podcast appearance

2018-08-11 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
First of all, you say you are co-founder of " Oseyeris", what exactly is that, 
it isn't exactly a word that is descriptive in nature.
Also, you say you are passionate about astronomy and physics, but you don't 
even start out your message by introducing yourself, you don't end with a 
salutation including your name and you are soliciting support for your Podcast 
and app without apparently having asked Mark or Cara if it is OK to do so. 
Given how often one is "invited" to do something these days I am certainly not 
clicking on your link to fill out a contact form and I hope others are smart 
enough not to do so. If you had started with a proper introduction and a 
sentence saying that you received permission from the list owner or moderator 
to post this I might have felt differently.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hi Everyone,

Firstly, is anyone interested in a podcast interview about how they see the 
ssky as being, if they learn aspects of space, planets and other objects we 
can't see as blind people in the sky. I have a podcast series that covers 3D 
programming for audio, and related technologies.

I am co-founder of Oseyeris, and have been working on an app so I can 
understand where the planets are, how they cycle around me in the real world, 
as astronomy and physics are something I am passionate about.

Second, I would like to invite you to test a star gazing app for the blind.

Please follow this link, and put your name on the email list. if already 
subscribed, your test flight will be sent very shortly.

I am very interested in hearing your opinions about how stars should be 
represented, though I have laid out the initial audio "feel" of space.

Have a great day y'all
