Lil Lisa

Uh huh... Likely story... I don't know if I can believe someone who uses flash photography in Spaceship Earth.

All caught up! I really wish we only lived an hour and a half from the fort. Love the pics inside spaceship Earth. Was that "flash photography"? ;o)

All caught up! I might have to change my name to Lil Late Lisa... Love the people watching pics. Breakfast looked delicious! Now I'm hungry... With all of these non-Fort trips, I am starting to worry about you. You're not going soft on us, are you?

:rofl2: They have my prints too. I dealt blackjack in college.

Love the road picture! I have a thing about those too. I've never gotten a good one.

:rofl2:

I bet he's still a great hugger though!

Nope, ancient history. :rofl2:

That's not a fight. That's me b#$&h slapping Ed for not knowing what he's talking about. :rofl2:

Lou might remember that far back...

So did Ed. :rofl2:

:rofl2:

Ed, I would love for you to explain to me how Disney could create an online reservation system without any server side code... There most certainly are times when a simple web page just won't cut it, and this is one of them. I admire your tenacity, but I think that the web world has changed much more than you know since you last dipped your toes in the pool.

Ed, there is a HUGE difference between a webSITE and a web APPLICATION when it comes to a screen reader. Most websites are text and links which a screen reader can handle as easily as reading a document. When it comes to what I do at work and what the the disney reservations system does, we are talking about web applications, not a simple text website. Your information about javascript and flash is also hopelessly out of date. Screen readers have improved in this area, but this is where all of the extra time (and money) comes in. We have to fill in the blanks where the default screen rea

Ed... Have you ever modified software to make it compliant? As I previously stated, I have. It is NOT easy and many times it requires that features requested by average users be omitted or that a completely separate code base be created for impaired vs non-impaired users. It is not easy and it is not cheap. Who pays for it? We do through higher taxes or in the case of Disney through higher admission and site fees.

Why am I suddenly picturing a blind, nine fingered bandsaw operator... :rofl2: Any bets on how long it takes for this thread to be moved to the debate board?

Where regulation starts, reason walks out the door. Everyone is afraid of getting sued, so they blindly follow and do things that make no sense at all. The only ones that benefit are the lawyers...

I was not speaking in generalities, Ed. I was stating facts about a specific product that we developed. The applications I am speaking of are used by employees of the state and there are NO visually impared users. Zip, zero, nada. In fact a visually impared user would not be able to do the job that these users do. That is what makes the whole thing so laughable. We spent almost half of our development time making an app compliant for blind people who would never use it in the first place. Our tax dollars at work... And I know all about screen readers. We use them to test our apps. The

Another great report! It is always fun to live your adventure along with you.

We develop contact management web apps for state government, so all of our apps need to be ADA compliant even though there is nobody using the functionality. Making web sites and web apps accessible is difficult at best and impossible at worst.

:rofl2: No"real"meteorologist would ever accept a position at the weather channel.

Woo hoo! I'm in!

Oh dear! :rofl2: I guess I should have chosen my words more carefully. Let me rephrase that: I have been researching Canadian campgrounds (which suck by the way... They must not want people to find them because many don't list addresses on their websites.) I'd much rather be here, but duty calls...

Loving the non trip trip report!

I thought you were out of scotch? Sorry I'm late. I've been doing Canada. Can't wait for more!
