Here’s another free game from L-Works. I’ve done better but here’s the recording I just made.

Sharing My Early Christmas Present
I’m still rather a child at heart. I love battery and electric trains, though I have no room for such here. I love things that spin. I love gyroscopes, not only for the spin but feeling the gyroscopic force at work while it is spinning. I have a couple of the fidget spinners. This year,… Continue reading Sharing My Early Christmas Present
Another German Book, Possibly
First off, Behind the Wheel, both 1 and 2 in Braille, are finally being proofread by a German speaker. Book 2 of the audio edition is corrupted and my library isn’t going to do anything about it. The overseas librarian, or someone working closely with her, is trying to get another book imported into BARD.… Continue reading Another German Book, Possibly
Oktoberfest
The only things I enjoyed the only time we went to Oktoberfest were the yummy food and the Lebkuchen hearts we bought for one another. Yesterday was the beginning of this beer festival. I thought, just for the heck of it, I’d record the cannon going off as it can be clearly heard from where… Continue reading Oktoberfest
It’s a Crazy World, No, It’s a Crazy Party
Last night, after trying and trying with a game called Simple Fighter, I decided to delete it and go grab Crazy Party. I used to have it till Defender killed the server.exe file. Anyway, it now resides in an exclusions folder I finally learned how to create for the Windows 11 version of Defender. I’ve… Continue reading It’s a Crazy World, No, It’s a Crazy Party
Errors and Defects
I’m over halfway through the second of the two German books that have both audio and Braille. They have been rather disappointing, in that they’re riddled with errors, at least in the first book, in the Braille edition. I even saw a patch of text that was so garbled I didn’t know how to fix.… Continue reading Errors and Defects
Skype, a Partial Goodbye
Today I had to make a decision that I thought I’d never have to make. When I opened Skype on my computer, I suddenly saw this crazy news window. At first I couldn’t get Skype to close, nor could I get rid of the news window. When I finally got Skype to close I brought… Continue reading Skype, a Partial Goodbye
My Thoughts and Reflections on the Victor Reader Stream 3
I’ve been using this piece of gear for a good while. I’ve been holding off on writing about it, hoping they’d make it more stable, but since that isn’t forthcoming, here are some thoughts and such. I remember some quirks in the Victor Reader Stream 2nd generation, but the 3 has really outdone the 2… Continue reading My Thoughts and Reflections on the Victor Reader Stream 3
Audacity and Audio.com
I had been seeing, in the help menu of Audacity, something about linking Audio.com account, and wondering how big a deal it would be to do so. Yesterday, I found out, and at the moment, it isn’t for the faint-hearted. I looked around on Audio.com’s website on how to get a token to put in… Continue reading Audacity and Audio.com
A New Game, for Me
Monday morning I was on Facebook and saw a post about a game called Zanagrams. It isn’t an anagram game as the title suggests, as I was hoping, but I do like it anyway. It is played on iPhone and iPad, and the guy who developed it served in the Marines, and tried to kill… Continue reading A New Game, for Me
