[Blind-Computing] Laptop environment
Hi all, Recently there was a message warning us that of the consequences of overheating the laptop having it on the bed. As I knew it and it was not something new for me, I still want to ask some similar questions. Can laptop be dammaged if in the constant moving while active? For example, in a car that passes many high curves. Next, if I have to use my laptop outside and I have to expose it on the sun as in a certain moment it is not possible to protect it, what parts of the laptop are most resistible to the sun? So if I have to expose it, how to do that with minimal risk? Thanks to all, and best regards!

Re: [Blind-Computing] Laptop environment
Depends with how your laptop is positioned while in transit. For instance, if the car has got pressure absorbers, even if you are moving on a bumpy road, it will be fine. I think it is wise just to make sure that the PC is not directly placed on the car surface: you can place it on a velvet or padded surface if you are using it. However, if it is not being used, the best way would be to package it in padded boxes, or better still just leave it in its carrying bag. On the other hand, I personally think it is not safe to expose electronic gadgets like laptops to the sun for a long time. With Respect To part of the laptop to be exposed, I find that this may be when the laptop is shut. Generally, PCs should be used in a cool environment as high temperatures, or heat to be particular, is dangerous to some parts of the PC. We may differ on this head, but I bet that to be safe, you shouldn't work for a long time in the sun with a laptop: better to do that in the shade. This also reminds me that exposure of this nature may also lead to damage not only through the sun, but even dust particles.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Laptop environment
Yes, but I am asking about the situation when the laptop is active on the move. I forexample had a situation where I was holding my laptop on my knees while on a bus, and the bus drived through some holes in the road so it seamed like it jumbed up a few times, and I was holding the laptop with my hands in order not to bump on my knees. That are the situations I am asking for.

Re: [Blind-Computing] So... how do ya change your status on FB this? week?
The easiest way i know to do this is to open the page. it is usually the first edit field so hit control home to get to top of the page then hit e to get to the field you want. type what you want it to say and then hit tab to get to the button to share and hit enter. This is using the mobile version but the normal one should be the same i think. On 8/2/2010 8:16 AM, Matt wrote: Man, I swear they change the rules every other day.

I use the mobile site too. The regular one gives me a headache. But the mobile site won't let me see the entire description of a group or it's discussion boards.

Re: [Blind-Computing] So... how do ya change your status on FBthis?week?
I manage to find most information about groups, events, etc. via the mobile site. Only thing couldn't really manage was enabling simple uploading of images etc., but since I managed to enable the MMS sending of them via my phone that's now sorted, but think had to go to normal site to make that happen - don't remember all details, and, the site changes structure often enough that it wouldn't necessarily be the same 2 days in a row smile Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' - Original Message - From: Eleni Vamvakari magkis...@gmail.com To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, August 02, 2010 4:31 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] So... how do ya change your status on FBthis?week?

That depends on what you have auto forms mode set to. If you hit insert b you can arrow down until it says auto forms mode by default it should be on. You can change this to off so that you have to hit enter to open it. On 8/2/2010 9:52 AM, Matt wrote: Ok, do you have to hit enter for forms mode anymore?

Re: [Blind-Computing] Laptop environment
Hi Milos, I am using a small Toshiba ultra portable. When I have to use it for an extended period of time, I notice that it does get warm. I don't worry about this until I hear the fans constantly running. At Staples and many other places they have a small laptop desk that sits on your lap. It has bean bags under it that allow it to comfortably sit on your lap. These are somewhat weighted which helps my laptop not move around to much as I am typing. There are vents on the top of this unit which allow my laptop to breathe. Mine also has fans in it that cool my laptop. It uses a USB cable to plug in to my laptop for power. I don't use these fans when I am on the move, only at home when I am plugged in to home power because I have noticed that it does put a slight drain on the battery.

[Blind-Computing] Firefox and flash
HI. When using Firefox, often when I go to a Web site with video, I'll need to click on a button to play the flash content but then there is no button. However, when I go to the same site in Internet Explorer, the button is displayed and I can click on it just fine. I know Internet Explorer and Firefox are similar but not exactly the same, but this difference has always confused me. I know I can just open Internet Explorer when I need to use flash, but if Firefox can be configured to work flash that would be better.

Re: [Blind-Computing] So... how do ya change your status onFB this?week?
You might still use it to activate forms mode on something like a drop down box, or listbox, etc., but from (I think) jaws 10, it should generally automatically go into forms mode when you enter a text field, and you could then use the large numpad plus/virtual cursor key on the numpad to turn it off more safely than hitting enter since that might submit some forms.

[Blind-Computing] Irritating prompt on IE8 startup relating to re-opening last session - found the fix for it
As the subject line mentions, every time after restarting computer, and then when I started internet explorer 8, it would bring up a prompt saying something like that the last browsing session had had an unexpected closing down of the session or something like that even if I knew for definite I had closed all app windows before shutting machine down. Either way, just found what seems to be the fix for that issue, since it occured to me that it might be somewhat related to tabbed browsing, since you can have multiple home pages, which are meant to all open at the start of a session, etc. Anyway, if you go into the Tools menu, and hit on internet options, and on the general page, tab over to 'Tabbed browsing settings', and hit space bar on it to activate that button, when that dialogue pops up, tab over to 'Open only the first home page when Internet Explorer starts', and check it (if that setting suits you). Then tab over to Ok button, hit space on it, tab over to main options dialogue's Ok button and hit space bar on it, and then, unless I'm just confused, the irritating issue will go away, like mine just seems to have.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Irritating prompt on IE8 startup relating tore-opening last session - found the fix for it
Hi, Jacob, Thanks very much for this information. I'll keep that in mind in case that happens to me in IE 7. Rosemarie - Original Message - From: Jacob Kruger jac...@mailzone.co.za To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, August 02, 2010 10:12 AM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Irritating prompt on IE8 startup relating tore-opening last session - found the fix for it As the subject line mentions, every time after restarting computer, and then when I started internet explorer 8, it would bring up a prompt saying something like that the last browsing session had had an unexpected closing down of the session or something like that even if I knew for definite I had closed all app windows before shutting machine down. Either way, just found what seems to be the fix for that issue, since it occured to me that it might be somewhat related to tabbed browsing, since you can have multiple home pages, which are meant to all open at the start of a session, etc. Anyway, if you go into the Tools menu, and hit on internet options, and on the general page, tab over to 'Tabbed browsing settings', and hit space bar on it to activate that button, when that dialogue pops up, tab over to 'Open only the first home page when Internet Explorer starts', and check it (if that setting suits you). Then tab over to Ok button, hit space on it, tab over to main options dialogue's Ok button and hit space bar on it, and then, unless I'm just confused, the irritating issue will go away, like mine just seems to have.

Re: [Blind-Computing] m.facebook.com and i.e 6
I think the others are correct in that you would most likely need to try IE 7+. FWIW, pretty sure it's due to something related to the target market for the mobile site, since the request/response headers for the web server communications/web pages could be slightly different since they assume you'd be accessing the site from a mobile/cellphone web browser, and that could be 'bothering' IE6 since it's a bit older, but anyway...

Re: [Blind-Computing] Site for BBS Users and Sysops
Taken from the site. The definition of a BBS has changed over time. No longer are we just a modem dial-up system running at a whopping 2400 baud (for you youngsters, that's pretty darn slow). Instead we are connected to the Internet and offer other services such as a Web interface, FTP and more - depending on how sophisticated the system is. So apparently, you don't need a DOS computer, tellnet or a dial-up connection to access some of the boards out there, since they're on the net. But they also have some regular ones as well as a guide on how to use them for those interested.

Re: [Blind-Computing] So... how do ya change your status on FBthis?week?
I think it is a matter of personal preference whether a person uses the mobile or Pc version of facebook. I usually will use the Pc version of facebook but if I need to post something then i will switch to the mobile site as I have found it easier to post on the mobile site. I do not like the mobile site myself for just general browsing of the page as it does not seem to give you all the information that the Pc site gives. I understand that it is a condensed version therefore not as many applications but it also seems as though you have to keep hitting older post to see even half of what the PC version site provides as far as messages from friends. I do fully agree with others view point that the mobile site is more blind friendly especially when it comes to posting messages. So all-in-all I think it is just what a person gets use to using.

[Blind-Computing] VLC MEDIA PLAYER
In a recent article, I read a glowing report about the VLC Media player and it sounded so good that I downloaded and installed the program. It's an open code program which will run on any operating system. But i can't make it function. Below, you will find my questions and if anyone can help, I'd certainly appreciate it. I don't mind paying for a working DVD player if it gives me the track information. That's what VLC was supposed to do. It doesn't at least for me. I'm running an HP Pavillian 6510 with 4 gigs of RAM and a 750 gig hard drive. I'm running Windows 7 Professional and Jaws 11, the latest build. 1. If you load VLC, do you have to make some special adjustments to get it to read and allow the user to interact with tracking information? 2. If yes, where do I find those settings and please provide detailed instructions. 3. I was told that it doesn't read the actual text but just says Track 1, Track 2 and so on. I can't even get it to do that. I don't understand it.

One you would need now is control+q to open a file or control+d to open a DVD. Another useful keystroke i forgot to mention yesterday is Control or alt+page down or page up to jump to the next or previous file respectively if for example you have many open files. Of course some keystrokes would be unavailable until a file is open. SpaceBar = Play/pause Period = stop Control+Right arrow = Forward 5 seconds Left arrow = rewind 5 seconds Up Arrow = increase volume Down arrow = decrease volume Control+m = mute Control+Q = quick open Control+O = open Control+D = open DVD Control+C = close open file or files Control+5 = toggles the status bar JawsKey+PageDown = read status bar, it contains info about the file's duration, the elapsed time and the active control. O = program options Good luck! Hamid AITOUZNAG We never value what we have until we lose it!. Skype: hamidgeni MSN: hamid.ma...@hotmail.com On 30/07/2010 03:24, matthew wrote: Hello all. I believe it was Hannah who put up the accessible DVD player for windows media player? I just have a couple questions and maybe someone can help me with this. I got it installed. I downloaded it and installed it fine. The commands aren't working for me. I think i missed the first email she sent in on it. It is saying all the commands like play and pause are unavailable. Am i not setting up something right in it? Thanks for any help.

Re: [Blind-Computing] VLC MEDIA PLAYER
I generally get VLC to start playing something by right-clicking on it, and choosing play with VLC media player, and this then has all tracks/titles populated etc., and this works on folders copied from DVDs as well as the drive itsself. HTH Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' - Original Message - From: John Justice john_just...@verizon.net To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, August 02, 2010 11:54 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] VLC MEDIA PLAYER In a recent article, I read a glowing report about the VLC Media player and it sounded so good that I downloaded and installed the program. It's an open code program which will run on any operating system. But i can't make it function. Below, you will find my questions and if anyone can help, I'd certainly appreciate it. I don't mind paying for a working DVD player if it gives me the track information. That's what VLC was supposed to do. It doesn't at least for me. I'm running an HP Pavillian 6510 with 4 gigs of RAM and a 750 gig hard drive. I'm running Windows 7 Professional and Jaws 11, the latest build. 1. If you load VLC, do you have to make some special adjustments to get it to read and allow the user to interact with tracking information? 2. If yes, where do I find those settings and please provide detailed instructions. 3. I was told that it doesn't read the actual text but just says Track 1, Track 2 and so on. I can't even get it to do that. I don't understand it.
