Show up to my job as if nothing happened, get a tax adviser, and see if I could get it in a blind trust. I'd turn in the ticket, disappear for a year, and while doing that attempt to bootstrap a software company. If I failed I'd o

As a blind programmer I'd love to use this. Unfortunately none of the Linux packages are kept up to date and in the passed I've had issues building from source. There is now a Windows version but I can't get emacs-eclim to wo

Grails, I really like Groovy as a language. Grails provides a lot out of the box and is good enough performance wize for small to medium sites with no tuning.

I don't play much anymore but I used to spend a lot of time on MUDs. As a totally blond individual they were a good way to play online games with other people.

I'd like to see more custum scoring, or at least projected yards and touchdowns. One league I play in is .05 points per yard instead of the standard .1 points per yard.

Comboboxes are accessible by default with all modern screen readers on the web. Dropdowns are a bit tricky, I hit enter on the link and if when I arrow down I don't see new options I skip to the bottom of the page since that's whe

While Jira can be clunky I don't mind using it since it's pretty much totally accessible to me as a blind developer. I can't say the same for a lot of other products my company used to use. Github is pretty good from an acces

As a blind programmer I would grab one of these if I could. I don't use braille much when programming because of the one line limitation. I now use it for looking at complex expressions but something like this could make a big differen

Have they actually asked any blind people if this would be useful? I generally know my friends and family are around because I'm talking with them or know they are in the same room as me. If I need to talk to one of them in the house a

Is your reporting system available? I'm totally blind so find Ledger to be a nice way for me to do accounting instead of a program with a GUI that will be less efficient. My Fiance is how ever not a computer person and something like t

I doubt they will do it but I'd like to see Netflix add descriptive audio to older shows. I know a lot of American shows that get aired in the UK have narration for visually impaired people, it would be nice if Netflix would make this
