President Bush: "D-Day is a very important anniversary for me - as it's the only part of the Second World War I can spell."
This from a dead ringers sketch.
Hello, and good day to you, wherever you happen to be in the world. I am Sean, and it is high time I did something with this website as it has been inactive for far too long.
I have said for a long time that I want to turn this site into a collection of articles, not having time to do much else. This is therefore what I shall do. Focusing mainly on technology, specific computer programs or other things of interest to the Blind.
Of course I shall branch out into other things - probably book reviews and the like. An RSS feed will be provided to keep you up-to-date - RSS is one of the best ways to keep an eye on updating content, in my opinion; I shall probably write an article on it at some point.
Then without further ado - let us proceed. There's a link to list all articles indexed here later on - the most recent few are shown below.
