Re: [Audyssey] a new computer guide for blind people
Sounds great! I have a few friends I know will benifit with this. I know you put a lot of time and effort into the project. - Original Message - From: Michael Feir [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 3:42 AM Subject: [Audyssey] a new computer guide for blind people FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June, 2008 Michael Feir creates a free computer guide for blind people with a unique style and focus. He wants more to start using computers and the Internet for personal pursuits. Many blind people have the mistaken impression that computers are strictly tools for work and education only. They needlessly miss out on opportunities for pleasure and personal growth which have made a profound difference in his life. After encountering countless blind people with expensive machines who only used them for basic reading and writing tasks, the creator of Audyssey Magazine began work on Personal Power. This free guide is the culmination of a two-year quest to rectify this situation. Written as more of a traveller's gazette than a manual, Personal Power offers a fun and easy entrance into digital life beyond education and work. Housed in a rich text file which can be opened on practically any modern computer, Personal Power makes for a small but informative portable partner in fun time. From the very basics of using Windows, Personal Power takes blind owners of accessible computers beyond their hard drives onto the information superhighway. Topics as diverse as online shopping, accessible computer games, computer defence and maintenance, blog's, email, instant messengers, and much more are discussed. Comprising a total of around fifty thousand words, the guide strikes a balance of providing enough information to inspire the confidence to explore further without overloading newcomers to digital life with excessive techno speak. The focus is on making people aware of the many possibilities for leisure and personal growth through sharing many of my own experiences. Why not get your digital feet wet? Go to: www.blind-planet.com/content/personal-power and pick up your free copy of Personal Power and the three fireside chat lectures today. Become alive in the digital world. Use your personal power!

[Audyssey] score posting in pipe2
I havewn't run into a score posting issue again but I just want to prove thom's point wrong. Thom made the statement that you can only post your score if its higher than the number 1 score on the scoreboards. Just now my score successfully put me in eighth position. I clearly heard the game said: Congrachulations, you made the top10. your position is 8. So thom, where did you got your information from that you can only post a score higher than the number1 score? I have just now proven that statement wrong. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] stoneback hill quest in sryth
Just use it as an item. It'll disintegrate and you'll gain a random power. You might have to use it several times to get the power you want, because sometimes it'll grant the same power several times. Just don't save if it gives you Conjuration since that's just about the most useless power in the game.

Re: [Audyssey] a new computer guide for blind people
Hi Michael, I've just read through the first section of the guide and so far pretty good. However, I do have one suggestion. At some point you might want to update your guide for new Windows vista users. One thing I noticed is your description of the start menu was the Windows XP start menu, which is fine, but you might want to be aware of the fact the Vista start menu is quite a bit different in nature. The Vista startmenu requires you to tab around to different elements on the screen such as a search bar, the programs button, and a list view with such things as the users home directory, documents directory, music directory, control pannel, etc. Like i said it has a unique feel compared to Windows XP and earlier. You might want to make a note of this in your guide so new vista users don't get confused by your guide that assumes you are running XP and not a new system pre-loaded with Vista. In fact, last year when I first got Vista I found the new start menu slightly confusing and disorienting as I was expecting something along the lines of XP. I was wrong, and it requires some exploration or some additional explanation to get a new user use to the way Vista does things compared to XP and earlier. Also you might want to be aware of the fact some things have changed names under Vista. What was known as outlook Express under XP is called Windows Mail 7 in Vista. My Computer, My Documents, My Music, are simply called Computer, Documents, Music, etc under Vista. Just thought you might want to be aware of the fact Vista is slightly different than you are use to.

Re: [Audyssey] a new computer guide for blind people
Hi Tom. I don't plan on updating my guide at all. I've done the best I could with what I have access to. I unfortunately haven't gotten my hands on Vista yet and wouldn't presume to try to advise people on an operating system I don't know well. Perhaps, my project will spur others to start something which will be kept more up to date. I've certainly noted in my guide that Vista had its differences. That'll just have to do. The guide's a done deal now thank goodness. I can relax and unwind a bit now before plunging into my next project. Glad you've liked it so far.

Re: [Audyssey] a new computer guide for blind people
Hi Aiden, Actually, there is a lot more accessible games out there for Linux than you probably think. It is true that you aren't going to find something like GMA Tank commander, Shades of Doom, or Topspeed, but there are games that you can play in Linux. For example, using the text based telnet client that ships with Linux you can successfully play all of the same muds we enjoy under Windows. if you want to play something like alter Aeon just point telnet to dentinmud.org port 3000 and you are ready to play Alter Aeon. There are also Linux based ZMachine Interpreters such as frotz for Linux that allows you to play all of the Inform text based games. So that in of itself gives you several games to play in Linux. If you use Mozilla Firefox 3.0 for Linux web based games such as Sryth are playable with Orca. Since I spend a lot of time in the world of Sryth it is a game I can spend a lot of time on playing using my Linux desktop PC. I've heard that the latest versions of SoundRTS are Linux compatible, but haven't tried it for myself yet. If so that is another game that is pretty good, and is available for Linux gamers. In addition to games there are some programs in Linux that are actually more accessible than their Windows counterparts. There is this software I use for watching dvd movies called Totem Movie Player. Once you install all the media plugins it is actually a lot better than Windows Media Player. One of the reasons I like Totem Movie Player so well is it actually gives you accessible menus when selecting DVD content such as selecting chapters, commentary, and some of the features of the DVD that is difficult to get even with Windows media Player. another reason I like Totem is there is media plugins and codecs for just about any file format you want to play such as: wav, mp3, ogg, wma,, avi, mov, mpg, etc. So listening to podcasts, music, or watching movies is all doable under Linux. Bottom line, Linux has become quite user friendly over the last couple of years, and there is more content out there for us then most people believe. I actually use the latest version of Open Office for my home business instead of Microsoft Office 2007 for two reasons. It is less expensive, and does just about everything MS Office 2007 can do. aiden gardiner wrote: Hi Thomas, That'd be ausum. i've always wanted to know what the benifits of using linux over windows would be, and I know there are very few if any accessible games which run under it, but it'd still be a good read. if you do get round to doing it, i'd like to be a reviewer if possible.

[Audyssey] Sryth Phantom Assassin.
Hi all, Ok, what does it take to defeat the Phantom Assassin? I have just lost three runes of life because of this low down, good for nothing, mother huncher. I can't seam to defeat this guy no matter what I try. If I try to blast him with elementalism he resists it making it almost impossible to get a shot in at him using any magic. when I try to go after him in a strictly sword fighting style attack he is still laying damage on me left and right. It gives me messages like he batters his way through your defenses and lays a brutal stroke on you for 23 damage.If it happened once it would be understandable but after every other roll? It sounds like this guy is practically impossible to defeat with out say 150 stamina. FYI, I have even tried taking on this mother huncher using the Hale Blade. While the Hale Blade would heal my injuries I noticed it would only restore 3 or 4 sp. That isn't enough considering the twenty-something in damage he is hitting me with. I need something with a lot more firepower I guess. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Sryth Phantom Assassin.
What did you say your MR was? I wouldn't recommend going after him until it's at least seventy, the higher the better. Then you'll at least be causing damage to him. Actually if you can get your MR to seventy-three or so you should do all right as far as the damage. As for his specials, you must just be particularly unlucky. I haven't often had the situation you're describing. Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Audessy Mailing List gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 5:59 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Sryth Phantom Assassin.

Re: [Audyssey] Sryth Phantom Assassin.
Hi, Oh, that totally sucks. My mr is at 66, and I am unable to get it any hire than that. As i stated earlier when I started up this new character I initially spend all my experience on powers such as restoration and elementalism. If I had put all the experience into weapon skills it be upt to 70 mr right now or higher. Now, I am finding it difficult to find adventures that are in my stat range that I can actually beat, and get a lot of experience in return so I can get up to 70 weapon and 70 slashing.

Re: [Audyssey] a new computer guide for blind people
hmm maybe you could do a vista guide or something tom, unless mike has vista. At any rate you can have the old style menus I think in vista which even though its backward in productivity is what I will do if and when I get vista, same goes for security, even if I have to get some weird alegal crap to do it. Call me a stand still old timer but I just can't see why I should bother with all this new stuff if I am already getting buy now. As it is if for whatever reason both these laptops here break I will probably go desktop, unless win7 is any better that is.

At some point you might want to update your guide for new Windows vista users. One thing I noticed is your description of the start menu was the Windows XP start menu, which is fine, but you might want to be aware of the fact the Vista start menu is quite a bit different in nature. The Vista startmenu requires you to tab around to different elements on the screen such as a search bar, the programs button, and a list view with such things as the users home directory, documents directory, music directory, control pannel, etc. Like i said it has a unique feel compared to Windows XP and earlier. You might want to make a note of this in your guide so new vista users don't get confused by your guide that assumes you are running XP and not a new system pre-loaded with Vista. In fact, last year when I first got Vista I found the new start menu slightly confusing and disorienting as I was expecting something along the lines of XP. I was wrong, and it requires some exploration or some additional explanation to get a new user use to the way Vista does things compared to XP and earlier. Also you might want to be aware of the fact some things have changed names under Vista. What was known as outlook Express under XP is called Windows Mail 7 in Vista. My Computer, My Documents, My Music, are simply called Computer, Documents, Music, etc under Vista. Just thought you might want to be aware of the fact Vista is slightly different than you are use to.

Re: [Audyssey] a new computer guide for blind people
I aggree with you michael. At any rate if at all possible I will be making vista as much xp like if I ever upgrade to that, or maybe win7? And if I can't make it legally like xp then I'll just have to go alegal and make it like xp. So I hope my laptops do not die for ages. At 03:05 a.m. 21/06/2008, you wrote: Hi Tom. I don't plan on updating my guide at all. I've done the best I could with what I have access to. I unfortunately haven't gotten my hands on Vista yet and wouldn't presume to try to advise people on an operating system I don't know well. Perhaps, my project will spur others to start something which will be kept more up to date. I've certainly noted in my guide that Vista had its differences. That'll just have to do. The guide's a done deal now thank goodness. I can relax and unwind a bit now before plunging into my next project. Glad you've liked it so far.

Re: [Audyssey] a new computer guide for blind people
well tom a linux guide would be good, so would a vista guide. I mean I have read manuals and other opinionated junk from place to place but I never have got really into it all that much.
