[00:00] <CensoredBiscuit> hello all
[00:00] <CensoredBiscuit> I was pinged
[00:00] <hajour> JanC,  do you have a link from a site where all that short cuts are on with explain from IRC
[00:00] <hajour> there was a meeting CensoredBiscuit 
[00:00] <CensoredBiscuit> oops.
[00:01] <hajour> just read back
[00:01] <CensoredBiscuit> sorry guies
[00:01] <hajour> don't worry CensoredBiscuit 
[00:01] <Pendulum> CensoredBiscuit: no worries. I was just pinging people to see who was around :)
[00:01] <hajour> Pendulum,  said already it was no problem CensoredBiscuit 
[00:01] <CensoredBiscuit> its my minute to win it night
[00:02] <hajour> drat you was earlier Pendulum 
[00:02] <hajour> Pendulum,  i not remember but was you also come to UDS or not?
[00:02] <Pendulum> hajour: I'm hoping to be at UDS
[00:03] <CensoredBiscuit> Pendulum cprofitt gave me a decent idea
[00:03] <Pendulum> oh?
[00:03] <hajour> i hope also you come and that i can come to
[00:03] <CensoredBiscuit> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/admin
[00:04] <Pendulum> ok
[00:04] <hajour> Pendulum, ^
[00:05] <Pendulum> hajour: definite that would be great :)
[00:05] <hajour> i am nerves by the idea to go to UDS but also very curious how that is and if i can really help 
[00:05] <CensoredBiscuit> I'm looking to work on the wiki page you told me too but I have no idea what accessibility programs come with ubuntu.
[00:06] <Pendulum> CensoredBiscuit: a good start is to look in the assitive technology section of the software center
[00:20] <hajour> btw what is the link to the screenreader
[00:20] <hajour> so i can help testing
[00:20] <JanC> orca?
[00:21] <hajour> i dont know charlie was talking about a screenreader
[00:22] <JanC> in the GUI that's Orca AFAIK
[00:22] <JanC> it runs when you enable "Assisterende technologieën"
[00:22] <hajour> there are more screenreaders then orca so i do not know which one is need to be tested
[00:22] <JanC> and I guess they want testing of the development version?
[00:23] <hajour> then i can the same time look or the translations are good for hannie to
[00:23] <hajour> dutch translations
[00:23] <hajour> so 2 task at the same time
[00:24] <JanC> of course
[00:24] <hajour> seams me am win win situation
[00:24] <hajour> or case
[00:24] <hajour> or something
[00:24] <hajour> :D
[00:25] <hajour> can it run on a eeepc like i have
[00:25] <hajour> ?
[00:25] <JanC> it should
[00:26] <hajour> last time (more then a month ago )my eeepc crasht because of orca also undifineds pc .so maybe i better can make sa backup from my files just to be safe
[00:33] <hajour> i am tired i go to sleep good night all
[06:29] <Cheri703> are there any accessibility whatnots that let you adjust the contrast of things?
[06:29] <Cheri703> my netbook doesn't have a contrast option for the display, and I was just thinking that might be something useful
[06:30] <Cheri703> I am discovering that I get SIGNIFICANTLY less eye strain/pain at 20%-30% grey background with black text vs white and black, and that's even at very low brightness
[06:31] <Cheri703> LOTS happier eyes
[06:37] <Cheri703> I did find how to do it in firefox...
[07:07] <AlanBell> Cheri703: there are a bunch of things in the compiz filters relating to contrast
[07:07] <AlanBell> and really really cool options to simulate colour blindness
[07:08] <Cheri703> hmm...ok
[07:08] <Cheri703> I don't use compiz :/
[07:08] <Cheri703> I turn off desktop effects
[07:09] <AlanBell> new unity depends on compiz
[07:09] <Cheri703> :( I haven't tried new unity, but hated old unity, so...
[07:09] <Cheri703> :/
[07:10] <AlanBell> I am using old unity
[07:10] <AlanBell> I am not a huge fan
[07:10] <AlanBell> I will probably use new unity
[07:10] <Cheri703> I'll try it, but...
[07:11] <Cheri703> if I don't like it I'll try something else
[07:21] <JanC> there are low-contrast themes for Gtk/GNOME, but they aren't as pretty as the default theme...
[07:22] <JanC> Cheri703: you can always disable all the "special" effects in Compiz
[07:25] <Cheri703> might try it
[07:26] <Cheri703> I guess I don't know that a filter is what I'd want. because I'd want other stuff to still look ok
[07:26] <Cheri703> just don't want WHITE WHITE
[08:07] <AlanBell> Cheri703: trick for you :)
[08:07] <Cheri703> ?
[08:08] <AlanBell> create a bookmark and put this in it: javascript:void(document.body.style.background='#dddddd')
[08:08] <Cheri703> what will it do?
[08:08] <AlanBell> or just paste that in the URL bar on a website where you want to soften the background
[08:08] <AlanBell> it will change the background colour of the page
[08:09] <Cheri703> ah, I already set it :)
[08:09] <AlanBell> from white (#FFFFFF) to a light grey
[08:09] <Cheri703> thanks though :)
[08:09] <Cheri703> you can go into the settings and change the color, even force sites to use it :)
[08:09] <AlanBell> you can have that as a bookmarklet
[08:09] <Cheri703> yeah, I definitely will save it
[08:09] <Cheri703> I have xmarks, so if I'm on another computer I can still access it
[08:10] <AlanBell> I had one for javascript:void(document.body.style.fontFamily='ubuntu') to force the Ubuntu font when I was testing that on different sites
[08:10] <Cheri703> ha, nice
[08:10] <AlanBell> just occurred to me that it could be done for other styles of the page
[08:11] <Cheri703> :)
[08:12] <Cheri703> found out I can change background colors in adobe reader (try to avoid it, but it's worth it for this). it will enable me to actually read ebooks and pdfs :)
[21:31] <jono> Pendulum, about ready?
[21:31] <Pendulum> jono: yep
[21:31] <Pendulum> whenever you are
[21:32] <jono> Pendulum, give me one min, quick bio break
[21:32] <Pendulum> k
