Hi Bill, The hands-down best app I've used is vidconvert by reggie ashworth. When I first bought it it wasn't very accessible, I emailed the developer and he corrected the problem in like 4 days.

Re: Building a website, what's the best way?
Hello: That’s actually pretty hard to do if you don’t have the experience. You have two options. Well, three actually. First, if you have a stable connection and a lot of bandwidth depending on your visitors and the type of content you serve, you -could- serve from home. You will need a dedicated system to do this and a good setup, as well as a static IP address. This really isn’t recommended but it’s doable. Second you have two choices. You could either get a VPS (virtual private server) or a dedicated server. VPS servers are ran by a company who runs multiple servers on one machine through virtualization technology. They use KVM or xen and it’s really fast for most people. Prices range from $10+ depending on what you’re needing. I recommend two companies: http://linode.com http://linode.com/ and: http://digitalocean.com http://digitalocean.com/ I’ve had good experience with both. Your second option and more expensive is to run a dedicated server. Mine currently runs $120 from: http://arpnetworks.com http://arpnetworks.com/ Specs are: 1 1 tb platter drive 16 gb ram 3.4 GHZ quad core intel zeon. You would generally choose a dedicated server over a VPS when you exceed the resource limits. For example something with that configuration on Linode would probably not catch up to the 1 tb in storage I have and cost me way more. Now there’s a pitfall to all of this; you need to know Linux or BSD well (really well). I deal with security threats about once a week, optimize and work on my website based on visitors (I’m hosting a few others), etc. If you want your own email that’s another set of issues because you’ll be tuning things there. For example I just added some more stuff to my system to help deal with spam a lot better. It’s a time investment that you don’t have if you pay someone else to do it for you. Please let me know if you have any more general questions.

Re: Building a website, what's the best way?
Two things I forgot to mention here. The speed you will probably want to pay close attention to is the upload speed. It’s usually about 20% of your download speed on most home connections (for a pretty good reason generally). You will be uploading content to your users who are downloading, so that’s the most important and will cost you to get higher. Second, if you are running anything at all of importance and say the cat kicks the tower, a storm takes your power out your site is down. Home connections are not assured they will be up 100% of the time. Hosts generally have servers in data centers where they have redundant internet links from multiple backbones as well as power generators on site to insure that in the case of power loss your site will stay up if possible. Many rack servers even have redundant power supplies and racks can (and usually do) have UPS systems mounted in the rack as well for more redundancy.

Re: Apple tv is silent after update.
Yikes! Not good! I really don't know what to tell ya, but I did! want to write to say that I think your theory is most likely dead spot on. I'll becha that's probably exactly what happened. It probably switched back to HDMI. It's unlikely, but it is possible. I however thought that both ports could be active at the same time. I don't have optical in on my Yamaha receiver, believe it or not, or at least, I don't think I do. It's the Yamaha RXV477. Anyway, I've not therefore really had a need to look at those settings on the Apple TV. I do think you're on to something though with that theory. It may be worth checking out, if you can get it somehow over to a TV with HDMI. Even just a receiver like what I have with HDMI in. Just something you can pipe it through to see if you get Voiceover speech.

Re: twitter dm lenghth change will nightowl be able to cope?
I agree here with Shaf. I'd suspect it would. The only thing that I can think that may keep it from being so would be if the devs have to somehow code in the new, or updated API call to allow for this. I wouldn't think that would be hard at all however to do, based on what very little programming I know about.

Re: Building a website, what's the best way?
So, you could do a few things. I guess my first question would be, do you want to simply just host your own web site, or are you wanting to actually gain customers in addition to your own site, and offer web hosting as well? That would be my first question. Ultimately though, you have several options. Basically, you could do really one of two practical things: 1. You could set up a computer to act as your server, and then install something like Linux. Granted, you'd have to then install the necessary packages like apache, etc. unless you got a distro that already had them included. Most server edition distros obviously do. Again though, this would involve at least somewhat of a good bit of knowledge of Unix/Linux in knowing how to configure things. The other option would be to go through a hosting provider. No, they would not be hosting your web site, you'd! still be doing that, but you'd basically rent either monthly or anually from them a dedicated server. You really don't want to be running a server off of a VPS. You can, but it's really not recommended. Mainly because if you're going to host your own stuff yourself, and totally manage it yourself, then you're going to want as much resources as you can pull from the machine to be your own. With a VPS, Virtual Private server, you're basically sharing the over all server in the host's data center with other customers. This really isn't a problem at all if you're trying to let the host take care of the hosting/server management work for you, but since you say you're wanting to do this yourself, then yeah. The other thing that you need to also consider is, do you want to go through ICan and be able to host your own TLD, toplevel domain. If so, then you'll need to get qualified as a domain registrar. Generally, that process isn't too, too difficult to do, but it can take a little work, and certainly a teeny bit of processing time. It's generally fairly quick, but again, it is the internet, so anything goes. I'd be happy to discuss this with you further off list, if you'd like. clgillan...@gmail.com Have a delightful day!

Re: Building a website, what's the best way?
Terriffic point, Tyler. I guess I just figured that the power outage thing is something she would have already inferred, but you are right. It's worth mentionning. Good point. Oh, and BTW, in another post, Tyler recommended Digital Ocean: http://www.digitalocean.com I strongly! strongly! would agree with him on this. Linode seemed to be a bit pricy for what I did, but what I love! about Digital Ocean is, you create your droplet, then you basically only pay for the amount of time you use it. So, in other words, let's say you got their lowest Linux based droplet. That's I think, like, $5, if I remember correctly? So, say you only used that server for 2 days powered on. I'd have to do the math, but basically, if you then destroyed that droplet after 2 days, then, out of the 30 day monthly charge, you'd only actually! have to pay for those 2 days you were up and running. It's Gr'r'r'rate! if you just need a server temporarily, or just want to benchmark something long enough to see how it would function. I'll give you a perfect example. Not that you're trying to do this, but, I wanted to see with certain specs how well hypothetically I could run Asterisk along with Nerdvittles Incrediblepbx. So, I created a droplet with those specs, logged in via SSH and installed Incrediblepbx, used it for about a day, realized I needed something a little more powerful, so destroied the droplet two days later, and bam! That was the end of it. I only paid for those two days, as aposed to the whole month. I think my final bill was only like maybe a dollar, if even that. Obviously, it would be more than that if you were trying to host a web site, as you'd want the server up all the time, and obviously wouldn't want your droplet destroyed, but my point is more just that Digital Ocean gives you that option in the first place. I don't think Linode does that, please correct me if I'm wrong, as I've not used them in ages.

Name your file something ending in either .htm or .html such as MyFirstWebPage.html and then you can start putting html in there. Once you have saved that file somewhere you can open MyFirstWebPage.html in Safari to review the results. There are piles of free tutorials out there so just google around. Web pages are generally three general buckets. HTML is the content with markup sprinkled around to tell what the content is such as a paragraph, list or table. CSS is Cascading Style Sheets

Re: Building a website, what's the best way?
Tyler, I'm going to save this message with the link you provided, as I'm actually shopping around for dedicated servers to see what I can get for the best bang for my buck. This server you're using sounds actually like a damn good deal! My question to you is, can they install Cent-OS on the server, and if so, would I have to install it myself, or do they have configurations with the license already included in the price that would also give me CPanel access? If so, then, I'm definitely! definitely! going to look into this. Chris. - Original Message - From: Littlefield, Tyler To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2015 10:06 AM Subject: Re: Building a website, what's the best way? Hello: That’s actually pretty hard to do if you don’t have the experience. You have two options. Well, three actually. First, if you have a stable connection and a lot of bandwidth depending on your visitors and the type of content you serve, you -could- serve from home. You will need a dedicated system to do this and a good setup, as well as a static IP address. This really isn’t recommended but it’s doable. Second you have two choices. You could either get a VPS (virtual private server) or a dedicated server. VPS servers are ran by a company who runs multiple servers on one machine through virtualization technology. They use KVM or xen and it’s really fast for most people. Prices range from $10+ depending on what you’re needing. I recommend two companies: http://linode.com and: http://digitalocean.com I’ve had good experience with both. Your second option and more expensive is to run a dedicated server. Mine currently runs $120 from: http://arpnetworks.com Specs are: 1 1 tb platter drive 16 gb ram 3.4 GHZ quad core intel zeon. You would generally choose a dedicated server over a VPS when you exceed the resource limits. For example something with that configuration on Linode would probably not catch up to the 1 tb in storage I have and cost me way more. Now there’s a pitfall to all of this; you need to know Linux or BSD well (really well). I deal with security threats about once a week, optimize and work on my website based on visitors (I’m hosting a few others), etc. If you want your own email that’s another set of issues because you’ll be tuning things there. For example I just added some more stuff to my system to help deal with spam a lot better. It’s a time investment that you don’t have if you pay someone else to do it for you. Please let me know if you have any more general questions.

How to Block Facebook Game Requests
Hello Everyone, The following comes to us courtesy of SimpleHelp, as many of us are Facebook subscribers, I thought I would post it on list. Please keep in mind that the steps listed below were written for sighted users. Mark How to Block Facebook Game Requests You either love them or you. don't. If you don't, this quick overview will explain how to Block requests for Facebook Games (and/or Apps). Facebook Games and Apps often entice users into inviting all of their friends to participate as well, frequently by offering rewards within the game/app itself. So even your most well-meaning friends may give into temptation and send you a game request. This brief guide will take you step by step through the ways to block those requests. 1. There are two ways to block Facebook Game or App requests - wait until you get one, or pro-actively add some of the most popular ones. We'll show you how to do both. When do you receive a request to play a game, click it (which seems like the last thing you'd want to do, but trust us on this one). 2. You'll be presented with a confirmation screen, which will vary in look based on the game. Regardless, as soon as that screen appears, click the Cancel button. 3. After clicking Cancel, Facebook will redirect you to that games Page. On this Page, click the 3 dot button ( . . . ) located on the far right side of the Cover photo (see screenshot below). 4. A 'drop-down' menu will appear. From that menu, click Block App 5. Another confirmation window will appear. Review it and click Confirm 6. That's it! No one will be able to send you requests to play that specific Game or App ever again. The other way to block Facebook game requests is to manually add them. Click here (opens in a new window/tab) to visit your Facebook Blocking Settings. Scroll down the Blocking page until you locate the section titled Block apps 7. In the space provided, you can type in Game (and App) names that you want to block. As you start typing, a list of Games/Apps will begin to appear. Select the game you want to block from that list. 8. As of May 2015, the following list contains the 10 most-played games on Facebook (source). If you manually type in each game (or copy and paste) you'll have a good start on pre-emptively blocking the most popular games. Candy Crush Saga Candy Crush Soda Saga Clash of Clans Farm Heroes Saga 8 Ball Pool Hay Day Criminal Case Trivia Crack Pet Rescue Saga Bubble Witch 2 Saga 9. If you're reading this guide well after May 2015, you may want to run a Google Search for the phrase most popular Facebook games and find a more recent list of current popular games. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Linda does offer this feature. It’s called hourly billing. As does Amazon EC2. On Jun 23, 2015, at 3:39 PM, Christopher-Mark Gilland clgillan...@gmail.com wrote: Terriffic point, Tyler. I guess I just figured that the power outage thing is something she would have already inferred, but you are right. It's worth mentionning. Good point. Oh, and BTW, in another post, Tyler recommended Digital Ocean: http://www.digitalocean.com http://www.digitalocean.com/ I strongly! strongly! would agree with him on this. Linode seemed to be a bit pricy for what I did, but what I love! about Digital Ocean is, you create your droplet, then you basically only pay for the amount of time you use it. So, in other words, let's say you got their lowest Linux based droplet. That's I think, like, $5, if I remember correctly? So, say you only used that server for 2 days powered on. I'd have to do the math, but basically, if you then destroyed that droplet after 2 days, then, out of the 30 day monthly charge, you'd only actually! have to pay for those 2 days you were up and running. It's Gr'r'r'rate! if you just need a server temporarily, or just want to benchmark something long enough to see how it would function. I'll give you a perfect example. Not that you're trying to do this, but, I wanted to see with certain specs how well hypothetically I could run Asterisk along with Nerdvittles Incrediblepbx. So, I created a droplet with those specs, logged in via SSH and installed Incrediblepbx, used it for about a day, realized I needed something a little more powerful, so destroied the droplet two days later, and bam! That was the end of it. I only paid for those two days, as aposed to the whole month. I think my final bill was only like maybe a dollar, if even that. Obviously, it would be more than that if you were trying to host a web site, as you'd want the server up all the time, and obviously wouldn't want your droplet destroyed, but my point is more just that Digital Ocean gives you that option in the first place. I don't think Linode does that, please correct me if I'm wrong, as I've not used them in ages.

Two things I forgot to mention here. The speed you will probably want to pay close attention to is the upload speed. It’s usually about 20% of your download speed on most home connections (for a pretty good reason generally). You will be uploading content to your users who are downloading, so that’s the most important and will cost you to get higher. Second, if you are running anything at all of importance and say the cat kicks the tower, a storm takes your power out your site is down. Home connections are not assured they will be up 100% of the time. Hosts generally have servers in data centers where they have redundant internet links from multiple backbones as well as power generators on site to insure that in the case of power loss your site will stay up if possible. Many rack servers even have redundant power supplies and racks can (and usually do) have UPS systems mounted in the rack as well for more redundancy.

Re: Braille With A Mac?
Hi Eileen, The “at” sign seems to be a dot 4 pressed in conjunction with a dot 7. As for capitals, if you have contracted braille on, (press G-chord to toggle this), if you press a dot 6 before the letter you want to capitalize, it seems to translate as a capital letter. HTH!

Re: How to Block Facebook Game Requests
Oh goodness, they really don't make it easy. I get requests from people, sometimes 3 or more times a day, to play various games, at least I was for a while, and it drove me up the wall to the point I nearly unfriended them. Thanx for sending this info though. On Jun 23, 2015, at 5:43 PM, M.

Please keep in mind that the steps listed below were written for sighted users. Mark How to Block Facebook Game Requests You either love them or you. don't. If you don't, this quick overview will explain how to Block requests for Facebook Games (and/or Apps). Facebook Games and Apps often entice users into inviting all of their friends to participate as well, frequently by offering rewards within the game/app itself. So even your most well-meaning friends may give into temptation and send you a game request. This brief guide will take you step by step through the ways to block those requests. 1. There are two ways to block Facebook Game or App requests - wait until you get one, or pro-actively add some of the most popular ones. We'll show you how to do both. When do you receive a request to play a game, click it (which seems like the last thing you'd want to do, but trust us on this one). 2. You'll be presented with a confirmation screen, which will vary in look based on the game. Regardless, as soon as that screen appears, click the Cancel button. 3. After clicking Cancel, Facebook will redirect you to that games Page. On this Page, click the 3 dot button ( . . . ) located on the far right side of the Cover photo (see screenshot below). 4. A 'drop-down' menu will appear. From that menu, click Block App 5. Another confirmation window will appear. Review it and click Confirm 6. That's it!

Re: Anyone participated in a Doodle poll on the Mac?
There are two ways a Doodle pole can be created. One of them is not accessible. They need to create it as what I think is called the basic Pole for it to be accessible.

I guess I just figured that the power outage thing is something she would have already inferred, but you are right. It's worth mentionning. Good point. Oh, and BTW, in another post, Tyler recommended Digital Ocean: http://www.digitalocean.com I strongly! strongly! would agree with him on this. Linode seemed to be a bit pricy for what I did, but what I love! about Digital Ocean is, you create your droplet, then you basically only pay for the amount of time you use it. So, in other words, let's say you got their lowest Linux based droplet. That's I think, like, $5, if I remember correctly? So, say you only used that server for 2 days powered on. I'd have to do the math, but basically, if you then destroyed that droplet after 2 days, then, out of the 30 day monthly charge, you'd only actually! have to pay for those 2 days you were up and running. It's Gr'r'r'rate! if you just need a server temporarily, or just want to benchmark something long enough to see how it would function. I'll give you a perfect example. Not that you're trying to do this, but, I wanted to see with certain specs how well hypothetically I could run Asterisk along with Nerdvittles Incrediblepbx. So, I created a droplet with those specs, logged in via SSH and installed Incrediblepbx, used it for about a day, realized I needed something a little more powerful, so destroied the droplet two days later, and bam! That was the end of it. I only paid for those two days, as aposed to the whole month. I think my final bill was only like maybe a dollar, if even that. Obviously, it would be more than that if you were trying to host a web site, as you'd want the server up all the time, and obviously wouldn't want your droplet destroyed, but my point is more just that Digital Ocean gives you that option in the first place. I don't think Linode does that, please correct me if I'm wrong, as I've not used them in ages.

Second, if you are running anything at all of importance and say the cat kicks the tower, a storm takes your power out your site is down. Home connections are not assured they will be up 100% of the time.

I'm wondering if it's an accessibility issue, or if i did something wrong (I made my selection using VO-Space, am wondering if I should have just pressed Enter..) If anyone knows how accessible Doodle is on the Mac, I'd love to know, and also know how you go about making your selection.

Re: Braille With A Mac?
Hi Eileen, I can't remember what Braile display you told me that you have when we did training, but if you go into the Displays tab under the Braille category of VoiceOver utility, you can hit the Assign Commands button, and examine all of the supported commands. God bless.
