Mouseless contd

[dajeth]

I've discovered two things. One is that the easiest (windows) text editor to use this way is notepad. Windows Key+R, type notepad, hit enter, and begin typing. Two is that it's nearly impossible to use any graphics editing software without a mouse. I tried (laughably) to make a picture in paint, about all I can do is open a new file and save it

Two questions:

#1, Could you bring the syllabus for your Accessibility class to Usability on Wednesday? I'm rather interested in it. :)

#2, If one of your classes requires you to do an operation that must be completed with a mouse (such as graphics editing), are you allowed to?

However, keep in mind that I wouldn't think there is a big career for blind people in graphics editing. Therefore, no accessibility is necessary. But I could be wrong.

#1. I can't bring the syllabus, it's online though. http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~slatin/webaccess/03/index.htm

#2 Yes, but we're supposed to only use the mouse when absolutely necessary. It has been tough. Cant wait for the week of mouseless computing to end.

I get notepad by left clicking and selecting "new text document", But you do it the geeky nrrdy way. Decent!

Just felt like coming over from my friendsfriends pages. Hi there!!! :D

Oh, wait a second! No, I googled my lj name and found one of my entries on YOUR friendsfriends pages. Silly Mozilla tabbed browsing. I open so many windows, I forget which comment goes where. :-p
