Subject: [fb-exchange] Cork Notes Saturday November 19th
Welcome to another witty instalment of the Cork Tech Club Notes. Just kick
up those Paws and Hooves and come and join the adventures. we had nine
Happy clappy individuals in attendance today.
Derry and the entire Cork Tech Club wish to Congratulate Mary Lavelle on
winning her award at the retina conference. Mary was greatly admired by
members of the cork group for her excellent work on the support groups she
was involved with.
Jackie started off the tech with an update from her weird email issue last
week. If you all remember when swiping through her emails different text
was being read out by voiceover.Bert posted an interesting piece to the list
in relation to follow up suggestions in the mail settings. If this is on
it can cause what was described by Jackie However, when she went into mail
settings this mode was already off. So Jackie just turned it on and counted
to ten and turned it off again. Once Jackie did this the problem looks to
have been fixed. Jackie will keep a close eye on this to ensure it
continues.
Jackie also told us about her ordeal with Bank Of Ireland, she sent a snooty
tweet to BOI and after a few choice words Jackie received a complaints
form.This was successfully filled out so now Jackie waits. It took Jackie an
hour to finally get through the strong customer authentication. The
experience Jackie shared started a conversation of other companies and their
lack of awareness of talking to a blind person. Even though they have been
told the eyes don't work they still ask about the colour of the lights on
the device.
Mastodon was briefly mentioned as twitter seems to be going in the wrong
direction.
Chris asked about the sleep mode on the audible app. cearbhall talked Chris
through accessing it.Sleep mode can be accessed via the mini player.
Alexa featured highly in our discussion with Dominique showing us the sound
quality of her 5th Generation Echo dot. Jackie has purchased one of these
new devices on amazon as they have been reduced in their sale witch started
on Friday November 18th.
We also spoke about the RTE Player and Company of RTE and the fact that
stuff isn't accessible but RTE appear to be working on it. So much like Bank
of Ireland we'll wait and see what happens.
Books were discussed and also the different platforms that is used.Martin
told us of one that he accesses via YouTube.
Cearbhall spoke about the art thing he was at and Martin asked me to remind
everyone about the Seen/Unseen in the Crawford Art Gallery on Friday the
25th of November at 2.30pm
Books made a reappearance along with the Culinary yummies of our dogs
were discussed and at this point it was suggested the conversation had
entered the gutter.
Andrea Bocelli was listened to and admired some of us only found out he is
Blind. It was said that he doesn't seem to use his white cane to come out
onto the stage. We were listening to a story from our Cheif of Tech just
sadly the green lights must have stopped flashing as we lost Cearbhall.
The meeting ended with mention of the C word that should be followed with Ba
Humbug.
All have a good Saturday.
Lady W
