President of the Swiss Confederation greets René and Leo
We just got visited by Samuel Schmid, who is this year’s President of the Swiss Confederation.
Mr. Schmid, after greeting me and my dog (asking how well he could adapt to the crowds and being astonished about the fact that the people had more problems with him than the other way round), told me that he had seen aiding technology for the blind in action when visiting the School for the blind in the city of Zug (Which, by the way, doesn’t exist - he must have meant the one in the city of Bar I guess) the other day. I then explained to him what my job was (checking web sites on their accessibility for those aids and their users) and showed him a small sample of what his own web site sounded like to users of Speech Synthetic Software.
He then called me one of his employees, asked for a business card, promised to send me something and encouraged me to inform his team of any inaccessibilities to be found on his web site.
Then, shaking hands and cuddling Leo once more, he left us.
Besides, we had another coupple of clients, mostly from Tunisia and mostly challenging my terrible French Knowledge ![]()
