Trying again with a fresh start with coding. #NVDA #python
Also got that first row cast-on again for my scarf. #knitting
Feeling cautiously optimistic.

I will not loose heart. I will not. I will learn from this and save, save, save and never let this happen to me again. I do not like building from the ground up. But hey, it is a good good good learning experience..! #python #knitting Why did I put both hastags in? Because both projects just fell apart. Ah well...
Soooooo I managed to corrupt NVDA. Twice. With my shiny code. When you tell it to check for speech, don't have it check as often as I did. It was checking so often NvDA c ouldn't do anything else. Woops! Well I recovered. Still gotta do work on it but this is a fascinating learning experience. #python Also I am working on seed stitch for my scarf. #knitting
So, when you decide you want to upgrade a bit of code, make sure you save the original. I did not. Oops. #python
Gotta say, I love the quick Keys mode in Fedra. Makes things work soo smoothly.

@woollypigs If you find it, i'd love to read it in English. It sounds like such fun! I remember getting to travel by plane once, and that's what happened, they got me to the gate and onto the plane and my grandmother was waiting for me on arrival. I didn't get a chance to snag tags, though LOL--I got stuck on a cart with a boy with a broken leg, what a patient kid, too. I had never seen a cast before and he let me touch it. We were trying to figure out the best way to get Braille on the cast, too since I couldn't sign my name then. Sadly, not enough time to try Braille, but he claimed he appreciated the thought. Hahaha!
Future-proofing your code is also vital, vital, vital. Is it possible to have a beta version of NVDA running alongside the previous stable version? For testing? I wish I could somehow knit code into projects so I could feel it and know what to do! Now I am getting downright whimsical. I can't even feel my nitting properly all the time, and I want to modify it to put code snippets in somehow? LOL! #python #knitting #NVDA #MaybeINeedToStopworkingButIDon'tWantTO
For those who are curious, my unicorn is on row 15. I am just knitting a row as I feel like it, and it's going along much more nicely. #knitting
Poor Google Gemini. We are going through things again and again...I gave it a good long break this morning because it was just so sluggish. It's working better now.

@LaVisch@mastodon.social I am doing a scarf with a seed stitch border onthe sides, four stitches on each side, and the lacework rows in the middle. It should turn out nice.

Yeah, i am liking that there aren't as many sounds on Fedra. I don't feel obligated to jump to it when I am multi-tasking, just when I feel like it.

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space OK, so we don't have to play ads and stuff, right? It's just you play when you have time...I hope I can save this game and so far it looks interesting. I am just going after logs.

@DavidGoldfield@allovertheplace.ca I have some really long ones, and I've even started listening to books on Audible at 2X speed, now that it doesn't chop it up at all...but still...so! many! Choices!

@serrebi@serrebiradio.com @DavidGoldfield@allovertheplace.ca Did he help them or harm them? I haven't seen that series either. LOL Also, poor John Delancey? Or howeve ryous pell it. He must be so tired of being linked to Q...
Replying to
@podfeet@chaos.social Random out of nowhere thought--what are the astronauts doing for Easter? Did someone pack them some candy for a treat? Or are they just treating this as a normal day?
Replying to
@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space OK figured out treasure chest. Miossed a couple until I realized there was a button to click. Ha.

@DavidGoldfield@allovertheplace.ca Avery brooks, he was gthe captain that slapped Q, right? I saw that scene on YouTube and loved it!
Replying to
@LeonianUniverse@caneandable.social Got exploring and research down pat. ATtacking? Not so much.
Replying to
@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space I have mastered treasure chests. The trick is to let the automations work and as soon as you hear that text, jump to that button to open it. LOL Now I have one final objective. Eventually to build a castle. This should e a final building that should take, like, large amounts of everything you have collected. LOL

@DavidGoldfield@allovertheplace.ca I do wish, now, jsut one thing. That we could have a chance to buy NLS audio to keep. I, for one, want to get all of the Hunger Games books to keep read by Erin Jones. It's how I first heard them, and while I have the other versions from Audible, still...
I have so many books I can't decide what to stick with for long. I have switched between five today plus several podcasts. And speaking of podcasts, I don't know what's going on with Overcast. I tell it to play from oldest to newest and I set the filter for all, but it keeps jumping to the most recent one on the list
On my second cup of Caffeinated tea. I do hope this is not a mistake, but o the other hand, I feel more energy.
Replying to
@DavidGoldfield@allovertheplace.ca Yes, it soooooo was! She's one of those narrators that *could* go and get good pay from Audible, I imagine.
Replying to
@DavidGoldfield@allovertheplace.ca I think that was important to establish. I mean I did like Q, but he did need to be kinda brought in line.

@dhamlinmusic@dragonscave.space @LeonianUniverse@caneandable.social Once I get it going, I will do my best to let you know what I think, assuming I don't get sucked down a rabbit hole
Replying to
@LeonianUniverse@caneandable.social It's figuring how to move the warrior to attack. I keep getting "not adjacent"...
OMG! There's audio description at the beginning of this! #CiVFive
Windows, I do not appreciate you tagging a game as a threat. Stop it at once. It's freight Fate...

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space Question will my game autosave so I can just put a shortcut on my desktop and come back to the game? Or will it start me over?

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space No Princess either LOL! Or have I jsut not earned enough, and could it be changed to Prince? LOL

@NicksWorld I haven't yet figured out if you can lay media with this like you can on Tweesecake. I haven't tried Hahaha! I guess I should.
