The closer we get to the final lift up for this Tunisia Event, the more stuff gets packed into that suitcase, the more documents are being printed out and the more I start wondering if and how I am supposed to either do my job or at least survive it… The more all this happens, everybody else seems to worry about only ONE major question, which is:

Are René And Leo Going To Make It To Geneva Airport On Their Own At All?

I wonder (not to say I am scared of) what might follow after we eventually manage to fullfill this task. Will I be expected to carry my passport on my own? Will someone order food for me?

Well, but who cares - I mean: We are not even in the train yet. Meanwhile, I better try worrying if everybody else makes it to the airplane safely - doesn’t actually feel too bad, does it?

I just had my first online tutorial tonight. My University is using one of these Voice Conferencing tools to do distant courses.

It was quite fun discovering that systems like that really do work. There would be some accessibility features to be added if one wanted to see me even more excited, but it is a beginning. And itis definitely better to use than some false prophets claimed it to be…

Some days ago Scandinavian Airlines sent out this e-mail inviting everybody to take part in the ultimate Sudoku Challange. One was asked to “Play our fun and easy Sudoku game online”, entering into a draw to win, among others, a trip to Japan.

For users of screen reading software, the online game though was not half as “easy and fun” to play as promised. The Macromedia Shockwave driven web page would reload again and again and it was just not possible to even read the entire instructions without going insane first.

Worst of all: When trying to make a note about the inaccessibility of the game on the SAS Contact Internet Support page, the form would submit, but result in an empty page. No thank you, no confirmation, not even an error message would show up and I must assume that my message, although sent three times, never arrived over there.

In the end, I re-sent my Sad Feedback using all email addresses I could find in the “Challange” Invitation. But who knows how many of these inboxes are actually being checked?

So, if any SAS Staff should read this post: Please make sure your web pages gets a little face lift in terms of accessibility, Thanks…

Ich möchte hiermit erst mal alle Suchmaschinen begrüssen, die sich auf meinen expliziten Wunsch bei Submitfire hin schon mal hier umgeschaut haben. Klar: Ein Ausbau dieser Seiten ist dringendst notwendig, aber immerhin sehen sie schon mal, welches gewaltixte Potential auch hier stehen könnte.
Wenn Sie uns also im Ranking ein wenig hoch schrauben könnten - ehm - na ja, anyways…
