FTP is a 'protocol', just like http. It just tells the computer.. "oh, thats how I talk to this other computer". FTP is basically the way to transfer files from one computer to another, but its NOT the only way. The important thing to keep in mind is what your website host allows you to do...

Video conferencing at the quality the deaf need has been very expensive, but costs have been dropping a lot. Webcams are now of very good quality, at good prices. Apple has been pitching their own webcam called 'iSight'. It is over priced at $150 (comparable webcams run around 60-80), but it...

There is a new deaf site out that offers videoconferencing. The catch is that the videoconferencing costs $15 a month. As a Mac user, I already have iChat AV, included with their newest OS. iChat provides fullscreen, high quality videoconferencing, and connects users through AIM. It is...

I don't remember where exactly I found the desktop, but It has a a copyright credit on the top: Magnus Palsson, m.plasson@telia.com. You could try emailing ? edit: posted pix up. It is too big to put here, so I providing a link. Pix

My desktop. In case you are wondering, the snow is from a desktop snowflake animation program. Desktop picture changes on the hour, so thats only the current picture.

Hmm... when I google for my real name, I get dozens of pictures of brains. Go figure. What happens when i google for my nick is more interesting. There apparently is a town in belgium called Bree. :cool:

NZSL is descended from BSL, but its not the same thing. Sort of similar to LSF (French) and ASL. The thing that i find key here is the distinction between recognizing it as a language, and recognizing it as an official language. If the language is just recognized, that means 'yes, the...

WOOOT!! This is big deafie news. There is a Press Release out stating that New Zealand Sign Language will be an official language of NZ. For Americans out there, think of Canada and their two official languages of English and French. Both have to be provided by law. New Zealand is already...

thats odd. works just fine for me. try: http://www.chiromeme.com/ or: http://www.chiromeme.com/modules/news/

Apple has had a problem with Motorola (you know, the second rate cell phone company) updating their chips, so for a number of years, Macs have been behind the curve in speed. Wiith IBM making the new apple G5, thats a thing of the past. The G5 arguably smokes every other desktop, but it...

I just started up Chiromeme.com, and need to get some work done on it. I hope to make this a serious deaf website, but I just started! Backend is something called Xoops. It seems to help with the setup a lot, but I'm not sure about the look of the site yet. I've been playing with several...

Can we have more options for the vote? at least an 'other' option? I mainly use Safari for the Mac, but also sometimes use Firebird or Camino (browsers with netscape code). and everyyyyy so often use lynx. The fastest browser in existence. It doesnt support graphics, but thats ok. :lol:

Lornhorn 'officially' will be out in 2006. Most likely it will be 2007 or later. In the meanwhile, Apple will be releasing Panther 10.3 tomorrow. Given Apples yearly release schedule, they will likely have another 3 or 4 new OS releases before Longhorn appears. Oddly, apples Mac OS X releases...

I'm a mac person, but more importantly, I'm a USABILITY person. A large majority of people use PCs simply because of its popularity, but thats not a valid basis for choosing something. The right way to approach it is by what you need. If there is a reason to need one system over another, by...

This issue has been rehashed in other places, like Slashdot but to repeat whats already been said: Word as benchmark= joke. a WORD PROCESSOR? from the same company that makes the PC OS? Premiere as benchmark = plain stupid. Premiere has been basically canceled as a Mac app, mainly because it...

I honestly dunno about this.. its a mixed blessing being deaf in the computer industry. I consider myself a newbie towards computers, even though most people consider me a guru. With computers, there is ALWAYs something new to learn, even if you are knowledgeable already. Theres plenty of new...

I know and use QuarkXpress, but they have a very long history of f**king over customers. Regardless of people's opinions of Macs, this is a HUGE percentage of Quark's userbase. (The Mac has historically supported features necessary for Desktop publishing that the PC hasn't, so this industry is...
