[03:20:52]
<BLINDBAT> hello all
[03:21:00]
<Deyvid> Hello BLINDBAT
[03:21:13]
<BLINDBAT> pianno man lol
[03:21:53]
<BLINDBAT> my birds are rocking back and forth to the harmonca
[03:21:55]
<Deyvid> I had to play Piano Man for the harmonica block
[03:22:10]
<BLINDBAT> lol i love it
[03:22:22]
<BLINDBAT> they love billy joel
[03:22:30]
<altiren> Doing pretty good, went and troubleshooted with a player of a game I and they enjoy. they were having problems with the screen reader I am using.
[03:22:45]
<altiren> Was pretty nice.
[03:23:36]
<dafydd68> I spoke with Al Rivera at STLV Altiren, about the software taht allows tou to hear waht is happening on screen
[03:23:56]
<altiren> Ah? how did that go?
[03:24:04]
<dafydd68> showed him the one that Colorado University developed for racing games (i think)
[03:24:24]
<BLINDBAT> dafydd68 witch software
[03:24:26]
<dafydd68> he had no idea it existed, he took details, who knows what will happen after that - he was asking me how it works
[03:24:30]
<dafydd68> like I would know lol
[03:24:43]
<dafydd68> um, let me get it....
[03:24:47]
<altiren> NVDA was the name of the screen reader.
[03:24:50]
<BLINDBAT> I am also legally blind and sometimes have to use a scree reader
[03:26:22]
<BLINDBAT> are you using windows
[03:26:24]
<dafydd68> https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/03/180306115645.htm
[03:26:32]
<dafydd68> Taht was the one I gave him as an example
[03:26:45]
<altiren> excelent.
[03:27:06]
<dafydd68> yeah - you could always send them emails asking them to allow for whatever you use....
[03:27:20]
<altiren> That would be really nice.
[03:27:43]
<dafydd68> I have no idea if anything will come from it, but at least he can never say he knew nothing about it! lol
[03:27:57]
<altiren> mmhmm
[03:28:12]
<BLINDBAT> btw deyvid my birds (Pinky Greeny, and Blacky) say thank you
[03:29:55]
<BLINDBAT> you did hear that ea games lost a law suit because they closed serveral pogo acounts because people who were blind were using screen readers they clamed using a screen reader was cheating
[03:30:03]
<BLINDBAT> the judge disagreeed
[03:30:15]
<Capt.Tsonia> Jolan Tru and Qapla'
[03:30:45]
<Capt.Tsonia> Cool loved him
[03:31:30]
<Deyvid> That's good the the judge disagreed. Not sure how that would be cheating
[03:32:00]
<BLINDBAT> said that it gave the person using the screen reader an unfair advantage
[03:33:19]
<Deyvid> but how it if it just gave the blind person the same on-screen information that a sighted person would see?
[03:33:24]
<Deyvid> weird. glad EA lost
[03:34:53]
<BLINDBAT> I know the blind persons lawyer said the same thing said you still would have to know how to play the game like spades
[03:36:43]
<altiren> Yeah, a screen reader doesn't compensate for a game, it just helps read incoming text for the game, something no blind person could do on there own because well... we have no way to read on screen events.
[03:37:52]
<altiren> glad EA lost that one. also, on the subject of EA, they're really not pleasing anyone these days, what with microtransactions and lootboxes.
[03:40:38]
<dafydd68> struggling to think of the last EA game i purchased - i think it was NHL98 lol
[03:44:21]
<BLINDBAT> I do not know if you all follow the NFL but the browns WON snapping a 19 game loosing streak
[03:44:52]
<BLINDBAT> there is free beer in cleveland tonight

<Capt.Tsonia> don't let him pull your chain lol
[03:48:40]

<SapporoTrekker> o7
[04:33:12]
<dafydd68> an equilateral means three sides the same
[04:33:35]
<dafydd68> so the internal angles must add up to 180, so 60 degrees each
[04:33:54]

[04:39:31]
<SapporoTrekker> haha
[04:40:02]
<dafydd68> Teh Pogues - The Auld Triangle
[04:40:08]
<SapporoTrekker> No trains or subways running for almost 2 days after the quake, so I just hopped on my bike everywhere
[04:40:15]
<BLINDBAT> I sware you do it again you will want GODzilla to come see you
[04:40:18]
<dafydd68> Since ra'Duch is ancient
[04:41:02]
<SapporoTrekker> Just a PSA though, you might want to check your emergency supplies/funds/batteries etc. You NEVER know when shit hits the fan
[04:41:22]
<dafydd68> Tra le la le la Triangle - Patsy Cline
[04:41:41]
<Capt.Tsonia> absolutely...we are in a tsunami zone here due to cascadia fault off our shore
[04:41:54]
<dafydd68> yeah - we have a go bag in the house, and one in each car - we will get 15 minutes warning before a big Tsunami hits
[04:42:04]
<dafydd68> we live on the Cascadia coast
[04:42:08]
<SapporoTrekker> That was the 2nd major earthquake I've experienced, I'm done with them!
[04:42:28]
<Capt.Tsonia> I've been in a 7.0 in Calif n 1970 it was SCARY
[04:42:56]
<dafydd68> Shake Shake Shake your booty - KC and the Sunshine Band?
[04:43:11]
<Capt.Tsonia> was in college taking Geology so we had some fun analyzing it
[04:43:26]
<Capt.Tsonia> haha Daf
[04:43:28]
<SapporoTrekker> I've been told the earthquake scales are different for US and Japan though. It was almost a 6 on the Japanese scale where I live.....at 3AM in the fucking morning
[04:43:53]
<Capt.Tsonia> 6 is strong
[04:44:09]
<Capt.Tsonia> if shallow it can be worse too
[04:44:26]
<SapporoTrekker> luckily it was deep enough and inland enough not to trigger a tsunami
[04:44:52]
<SapporoTrekker> bunch of shit fell off my shelves, but luckily nothing broke
[04:45:11]
<dafydd68> good - had you even finished unpacking?
[04:45:23]
<Durzan20> wierd. science usually doesnt do silly things like that. think it was reported as a 6.7 here
[04:45:36]
<SapporoTrekker> Was almost done unpacking
[04:45:38]
<Capt.Tsonia> tune
[04:46:00]
<dafydd68> so all the stuff fell back into the boxes, saying lets get back to tokyo
[04:46:13]
<SapporoTrekker> Yeah it was a 7+ on the Japanese scale at the point of origin, about 100 Km or so away from me
[04:46:46]
<SapporoTrekker> Haha, NOT going back to Tokyo. Waaaaaaaay too many people, and all the experts keep saying Tokyo is due for another major quake in the next 20 years or so
[04:46:53]
<Capt.Tsonia> well hope it stays quiet for you now...I know how scary it can be
[04:47:07]
<SapporoTrekker> still can feel the aftershocks
[04:47:24]
<SapporoTrekker> got woke up at 3AM on Monday morning from an aftershock
[04:47:52]
<BLINDBAT> but everyone ok right
[04:48:07]
<SapporoTrekker> yeah, the only deaths were more closer to the epicenter
[04:48:14]
<Capt.Tsonia> we are told a 9.0 hits here every 300 years so and that was in the 1700's sooo we take it serious all sorts of readiness training here and evac signs etc
[04:48:34]
<dafydd68> and your building is ok?
[04:48:43]
<dafydd68> lol tune
[04:48:55]
<SapporoTrekker> supposedly our building is okay, or so they told us :/
[04:49:17]
<dafydd68> good to know that they engineer things expecting the worst....
[04:49:18]
<Capt.Tsonia> we love it here so hoping it won't happen
[04:49:39]
<dafydd68> it can wait 50 years here thank you
[04:49:50]
<Capt.Tsonia> Japan is very serious about earthquake readiness I believe
[04:50:00]
<dafydd68> but we are ready if it does....we hope
[04:50:16]
<SapporoTrekker> Yes, many buildings here are supposedly built to withstand a 7
[04:50:48]
<SapporoTrekker> Can't remember how far back that building code goes though, so the older buildings are more prone to cracking and damage
[04:51:34]
<Deyvid> any other requests?
[04:52:10]
<Capt.Tsonia> Shake, Rattle and Roll? ok not funny :-P
[04:52:33]
<Capt.Tsonia> tune
[04:52:37]
<SapporoTrekker> lol
[04:52:47]
<dafydd68> I feel the earth move under my feet - Carole King?
[04:54:01]
<SapporoTrekker> I was supposed to get my internet setup at home on the day of the earthquake, so I was stuck with only my smartphone until 2 days ago
[04:54:11]
<Deyvid> oh dang

[04:54:56]
<Durzan20> you can route a computer through a cell phone connection in the US
[04:55:05]

[04:55:50]
<Capt.Tsonia> well we missed you
[04:56:00]
<Capt.Tsonia> glad you are ok
[04:56:08]
<SapporoTrekker> Luckily, my phone carrier sent us an email saying all residents in my prefecture wouldn't be charged for data overuse
[04:56:25]
<Deyvid> that's cool of them
[04:56:33]
<Capt.Tsonia> sweet
[04:56:41]
<SapporoTrekker> But, that didn't mean I wanted to be hogging all the bandwith, there was some people still without power though

[04:57:48]
<Capt.Tsonia> i think they did that song...lol
[04:58:08]
<Deyvid> Sister Sledge
