Nice job to YahooFantasy in creating inaccessible Fantasy Baseball pages & app for blind users. Reports are that the interface is full of issues. I guess they dropped all of their accessibility staff. Blind folk don’t like baseball. #blind #a11y
I’ve been using Codex @OpenAI this week. Created a couple of apps fast, but accessibility for screenreaders is a challenge. The Python & WPF apps got close, but the AI never got the keyboard commands or navigation complete. So close & yet.
5:45 and still nothing. Weather nerds say it could take another hour. This storm is hilarious. The radar looks like an unzipped jacket with the open space being dry.
As of 1:40PM, southwest Raleigh is still awaiting snow. What started as a potential 6-10 inches is now 1-3 inches. I’m thinking it is going to be a sneak attack. Cold wind & 20 degrees is all so far. The North Carolina bubble is real.
Winter storm thankfully produced sleet instead of ice. Sidewalks & steps are still a mess. Neighbors were clearing sidewalks yesterday but stopped short of our section. Sweet.
I added taping over our external door locks. Whenever we have wind & frozen precipitation, the locks stop working. Crazy what you think to do before a winter storm.
One local new channel has been talking the winter storm most of the day & there’s nothing to report.
@ricky_enger @jmillerbiblio heat could be a challenge. Probably need to order a couple delivery pizzas. Always good cold and it keeps out of the fridge, or it lasted in college.
Power is the key. Our power is usually pretty stable, but at times it is flakey. I’m coming your way when I’m hungry.
I’ve filled up the 5 gallon water container in prep for the winter storm in NC. If North Carolina weather traditions hold, the storm will shift away from Raleigh. 🥶❄️
