A friend of mine, she’s an inactive user on here as well, just gave me a German course today. There’s audio and text, PDF in this case, but at least I’ll have something to look at, even though it isn’t designed to be synchronized with the audio. I’ve converted the PDF to text and have… Continue reading Along the Road in German
Toy Mania
Well, howdy, folks. I’m back with another game I don’t know how to play. After a frustrating time with 7Zip I finally got this thing extracted. I’ve played this game quite a few times now and have yet to collect any keys with which to get out of the toy store. I have had fun,… Continue reading Toy Mania
Microsoft Teams, Buyer’s Remorse?
Well, not quite, since I’m using the free version, and glad of it. Earlier today I was trying to help a friend find me, which I thought would be an easy task, seeing as how we were on Skype together. It turns out, hardly anything is easy when using Teams. What I finally did was… Continue reading Microsoft Teams, Buyer’s Remorse?
Constant Motion by Sam Tupy
I recently heard about this game, really a series of mini games, and soon after that, my curiosity got the better of me, so I downloaded this thing. I’m still running this game in trial mode, trying to decide if I want to purchase it. I may not even be able to buy it, depending… Continue reading Constant Motion by Sam Tupy
Adventure with Dual Lingo
To try and give myself some structure in learning German I downloaded Dual Lingo. The first time I tried downloading it the other day I couldn’t figure out how to get it to start the download. Today, though, I was persistent and got the app installed on my iPhone. Here’s where it gets interesting, or… Continue reading Adventure with Dual Lingo
Victor Reader Stream 3, Problem Already
This morning, I tried to get the time on my fairly new VR Stream 3. Nothing happened. I reset the Stream thinking it was a software problem. Still nothing. Then I got to noticing that the button that tells time, sets the sleep timer and gives info about the characters on each number when writing… Continue reading Victor Reader Stream 3, Problem Already
My Eulogy to Skype
It seems most folks in the blind community, or in this community at least, are rejoicing the demise of Skype, but I’m definitely not in that camp. A distant cousin of mine told me about Skype, and I thought, nah, why Skype? For quite awhile I didn’t do anything about her recommendation but at some… Continue reading My Eulogy to Skype
Coming up on Number 10
Hi, loyal blog followers, if I still have any. This coming Monday, March 3, 2025, is our 10th wedding anniversary. There’s not much to say, but it has been very nice, quite stable. She has been more stable than I, but I will say that the mistake I made wasn’t sexual or romantic. She still… Continue reading Coming up on Number 10
My Heartbreaking Experience Trying to Get an Auto Harp
I used to have an auto harp that was traded back and forth between my younger brother and me. One of those times I modified it so that the lowest G string would be open in the C and C seventh chords. It made those chords sound much fuller, even though only one note was… Continue reading My Heartbreaking Experience Trying to Get an Auto Harp
Goodbye to Facebook
When Facebook got rid of their basic and mobile sites, I really thought I could hang in there. The main site was a bit clunky but it was doable. But, as time went on I found that every time I tried to comment on someone’s post, or when I tried to make my own, I’d… Continue reading Goodbye to Facebook
