Issue 104 of iScot Magazine is out now in digital format, with paper copies to follow soon.
The usual mix of Scottish articles on a variety of topics. Well worth subscribing for views you won’t get from the MSM.
My own contribution is on that lowest of tech items: using the Long Cane.

Went to the gym for some exercise this morning. After showering, I had to find a seat while I waited for my lift home. I used the Oorion app and asked it to search for a couch as I know there are some comfortable couches in the reception area. Not only did it find 1, it warned me that there were 2 people sitting there. So a quick scan found another one for me. I was so impressed that when I received a message that my lift had arrived, I used the app to find the main door. Again, it worked well, even telling me the door was a sliding automatic door with a metal frame and clear panels.

My wife took her car to the garage for its annual service. Then she messaged me to ask what her registration number is.
Bear in mind that I’m blind and have never seen the car, let alone the Reg plate, while she’s literally got the car with her.
Just as well I took a note of the number in my Notes app.

Other than the fact that traveling in Manhattan as a blind person has gotten more and more complex/confusing/frustrating over the years, I've decided never ever to go to time square in the evenings, especially around 7th and 45-48.

The domestic #Football season in #Scotland has started already. #DundeeUnited got off to their traditional awful start by losing to a team from a lower division. That was bad enough, but battling with their updated and “improved” website for listening to commentary was a real struggle. Unlabelled links and missing buttons made tuning in a real trial. No doubt, as before, they’ll get the #Accessibility sorted out by the end of the season, then they’ll improve the site again.

I had another iOS update on my iPhone this morning. I always get nervous about these because I can’t see the screen & Voiceover goes silent. this morning, I missed the alert tone signifying the update had completed and was at a loss as to when to try the phone again. I got it eventually, but I do hate these updates.
And now my PC has a JAWS update. At least it’s accessible, but who knows what will have changed by the time the PC restarts?
