Re: Monthly chat November
@Pitermach, I plan to catch up on the last two episodes of new who this week. My dad and I have been watching them on Tuesday lunch, though I must confess the Mof continues to be underwelming. For much of my thoughts check the Dr. who thread, so Im not expecting
Re: Monthly chat November
Hi,@dark I think you might find the new who finale a bit.. underwhelming but its OK. Could have been better though.I must confess I havent seen much of Buffy, however Im watching Agents of Shield which also has Joss Weeden at the helm so he really knows his stuff
Re: Monthly chat November
Hi Aaron. Ah, I didnt realize Joss Wheaden was involved with agents of shield, that certainly bumps it up the list of stuff to watch. I initially only saw a couple of episodes of Buffy when it was being shown in the early 2000s, and was less than impressed
Re: Monthly chat November
Hi,@dark: I havent actually watched the movie with a sighted person yet, but Im going to definitely introduce my parents to it, somehow, as I actually think theyd enjoy it.

Today marked a hell of a busy day for me because I had to reinstall the Windows tech preview as it couldnt, for some reason, upgrade to the latest build and threw at me a very cryptic error that a Microsoft tech explained as being a failed download. Well, it would

hi,I cant focus on any control in any metro app with the keyboard in windows technical preview. Im using NVDA. When I use a key to navigate NVDA plays an error sound. I have to use the review cursor to work with the apps. Wehn I installed the first build I didnt

@blindncool, Apple store full of geniuses? hmmm, which Apple store is that, many Ive seen have been quite the opposite, and the less said about the last man I spoke to from Apple customer services the better :d.Well things have been fun, my victor stream has

Re: Monthly chat November
@Pitermach, Even if there are more visuals than dialogue Id still like to watch Blakes 7 to get as much as I can, indeed often these days Ill watch something and then! read a detailed synopsis or whatever. That however is still in the future sinse I shant
Re: Monthly chat November
Eureka sounds interesting. Come to think of it, that town kind of sounds like the Apple store. I would recommend continuum, a show that was on Syfy for a while. Its about a police constable, who is chase back in time by terrorists who intend on changing history
Re: Monthly chat November
When youve gone through all that, and I know itll take a very long time, I can highly recommend the series Eureka sometimes called A Town Called Eureka. Its about a town which is full of nothing but geniuses, many of them work in a secret research facility
Re: Monthly chat November
Lol, that series sounds fun, and of course me being the Whovian I am I have no problem with intelligent blob monster episodes, heck, much as it is bashed by some fans I really enjoyed The Three Doctors with its blobs and gell guards, though I admit that is partly

Re: Monthly chat November
I went through most of the Blakes 7 audios without watching the series. Well, I tried, but because its so old theres a lot of visuals and not much dialog, the first episode did a very good job of showing that to me. I couldnt find any transcripts either so I just

I cant recall Nuance Alex, but I totally agree with you about even the human phoneme created voices like the Realspeak ones sounding more like adverts or someone reading the news headlines than the voice of a reader for a book.I also find myself that after
Re: Monthly chat November
@Pitermach, I agree a lot of TTS voices do sound as they were created for telemarketing and advertising purposes. If a person visits the websites where they sell TTS voices often times they have a sample of the voice reading a weather report, an advertisement

Re: Monthly chat November
Hi Tom. To be honest for me, the space of audio books is made up for by having them pleasant to read. I probably would feel differently about epub, text and other such formats if I had a convenient braille display, sinse while Id still rather read audio than
Re: Monthly chat November
Hi,@tom and dark: this might be a very strange question coming from me, but... whats a thumb drive? Ive heard of a memory stick, with a sort of lid on it that ou pull off to reveal a USb sort of retangula thing that ou put into the USB port, but I cant really say
Re: Monthly chat November
Yeah they are basically the same thing. Some people call them thumb drives, others call them jump drives, others call them flash drives, others call them USB Sticks. Many, many, many, different names for this kind of product.

Re: Monthly chat November
@Aaron, same thing just different name. I have heard them called flash drives, jump drives, memory sticks, thumb drives, but they all equate to the same exact product. It is just a long skinny rectangular with a cap on one end that comes off to offer a USB
Re: Monthly chat November
I used the term thumb drive because its what Tom had used previously and I didnt want to cause confusion but yes, the things have lots of names, usually my parents and I refer to them as memory sticks. Again a case of technology and language getting confused. I
Re: Monthly chat November
Dark, the nice thing about agents of shield is all the main characters are straight up humans using their skill to deal with rogue gifted individuals and things definitely did change near the end of the first season. I wont spoil things but a couple
Re: Monthly chat November
@Gamedude, glad you like this idea, I suspect the reason that my friend used to stick the monthly chat topics on her forum was what you mention, so everyone knew it was there. While I take your point on storage space, to me thats never been a problem. Yes

This message is brought to you by a me who hasnt had coffee yet, so please excuse any typos... I read both books in both ways, though generally if I can find an audiobook I prefer it over TTS, mostly because most TTSs were recorded more for telemarketting

Re: Monthly chat November
Ive used synths to read as a last resort, it isnt ideal but with the voice slowed down it is doable. I particularly did this with some of the Black Library novels in the warhammer 40,000 setting, the NightLords trilogy written by Aaron Dempski Boden is truly

hi. well since in Romanian there are so few audio books Im forced to use a sinth to read but I started reading on the computer about 7 or 8 years ago so I am used to it and it seems natural now. the big bang theory is a nice show, I am watching season 6 right now

Hello,I actually havent really listened to many audiobooks. I do like them though, Steven Fry reading Harry Potter was just incredible.I recently watched a new big finish doctor who series called The Early Adventures, and it is awesome. Its got sort of a cast
Re: Monthly chat November
@Nin, that makes sense, its a shame there isnt more audio stuff available in Rumanian, though I wonder is there a Rumanian translation of Count Dracula? . Sorry, was reading a couple of articles on the history of vampires in literature today

I had no idea that Audio Defense was available in the App Store now. I guess I should go take a look. Im sure it is an excellent game. Ive yet to be unimpressed by a game made by that company (Im not quite sure what they call themselves, since I believe
