No Joke: March 2007
http://aprilfirst.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Sometimes it's hard not to look at the Sun. Further adventures with screen readers. Well, I've been fiddling with Ubuntu 7 Beta and I have to say it's a nice system, if a little on the bulky side with regard to the packages it installs. It doesn't come with a few packages I like but these never seem to be installed by default on any system so I can't really expect them. The new screen reader, Orca, is an interesting package and it works out of the box! Even if it does still rather synthetic. One of the m...

No Joke: April 2007
http://aprilfirst.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Sometimes it's hard not to look at the Sun. Comparisons with other conditions. I received an interesting and thought-provoking comment. On my last entry that I thought warranted its own post in response, as I could see it being a long reply. I've linked to the post with the comment in question but the gist of it is this:. What do you feel about the comparisons some people with BIID make between that and GID/transsexualism, and the connection some people make to Munchauser's Syndrome? However, is totally ...

No Joke: December 2007
http://aprilfirst.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Sometimes it's hard not to look at the Sun. A discussion of views on BIID. While doing a search through Google's Blog Search tool (very useful if you're looking for Joe Public's opinion on something or, like me, if you're sat at home bored because you're too ill to go out! These are people who have a strong desire to have a particular disability and feel depressed and incomplete without it.". I'm sure this will cause controversy but don't I always? Truth is, I don't really care. :) You're entitled to...

No Joke: A painful reminder of BIID
http://aprilfirst.blogspot.com/2007/12/painful-reminder-of-biid.html
Sometimes it's hard not to look at the Sun. A painful reminder of BIID. It has been quite some time since I wrote anything here. This is simply because I've not really had anything to say, truth be told. For quite a while I have been able to push my problems with eyesight to the back of my mind and just get on with all the other problems I have in life but of late this has, once again, become very difficult to do. I'd love to know what's actually causing these pains because it has my doctors flummoxed...

No Joke: June 2007
http://aprilfirst.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Sometimes it's hard not to look at the Sun. Have cane, will travel. Getting around town when blind is difficult - at least it is here - I realised this a long time ago but it has recently hit home just how bad it is. I tried getting around Cambridge at New Year, when it was dark and there were few people around for me to get in the way of, and that was bad but here it's worse. I have found one. This town is a death trap for blind people. I'm sure there's a workaround for this but I've yet to work it out.

No Joke: March 2011
http://aprilfirst.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sometimes it's hard not to look at the Sun. So it has been almost a year since I wrote anything on here. I don't like to put a lot of personal information on here because I don't want crazy weirdos tracking me down in real life. I'm sure you can all understand that,? I hope so anyway. Nevertheless, I have moved across the country for work and it is going very nicely. I want to say 'act out' or 'live in role' but neither seem appropriate. Not that I am having to do that as much as I used to, however. ...

No Joke: Late responses
http://aprilfirst.blogspot.com/2011/06/late-responses.html
Sometimes it's hard not to look at the Sun. I just replied to an email received almost a year ago to the day. Why is this? Because I lost the password for my email address. Suffice to say I will not have been popular with the people who contacted me and never got a response. What is confusing me the most is that the severity of the condition is cyclical. I find it is stronger some days than others. Do other sufferers feel this way? I don't want to be alone in this, it is too confusing.
