Updating my webpage

[kestrell]

On Friday I graduated from the seven week web tester training program for screen reader users taught by the Carroll Center for the Blind!

I have a whole new respect for fulltime students, because I had forgotten how exhausting it is.

Since then I have updated my resume and applied to, and been accepted to, the Deque University online program so that I can begin studying for the CPACC (Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies).

I also updated my webpage
https://kestrell7.github.io/

If folks have some time to take a look at it and tell me whether it looks presentable, I would appreciate it, especially as it has been a while since I used GitHub, and it took me a while to refresh my memory regarding how to use the interface with a screen reader.

Looks fine! Mellow colors with adequate contrast. Useful information.

Thanks! My next two projects are to get started on the Deque U courses and to update my GitHub with a screen reader doc and format it in Markdown. I also ordered a wi-fi extender so that I have a more robust wi-fi connection in the aerye: I did the past seven weeks of Zoom classes from teh dining room, which is a central room on the first floor, so it's open and cave-like at the same time.

Oh, and it turns out that purchasing the extender from the Verizon website with a screen reader is inaccessible, and if you call their Disability Accessibility Customer Service hotline, they demand a bunch of personal info, despite the fact that all I wanted to do was buy a piece of equipment. I ended up buying it from Amazon.

Oh of course their page is inaccessible, because Verizon.

GRRRRRR argh.

Congrats on surviving the hostile classroom environment.

For the record, recent changes to the Verizon website have made it very hard to log into, even for a sighted person.
