CCATP #596 — Anže Tomić on Tech in Slovenia
June 08, 2019 20:38 - 1 hour - 28.9 MBThis week on Chit Chat Across the Pond I had the great pleasure of talking to Slovenian tech podcaster, Anže Tomić. Anže also works for RTV Slovenia's Val 202 public radio, and as he says on his website, he sounds like an Eastern European Bond villain. He's also a writer for the most read Slovene tech magazine Monitor (think PC/Macworld in Slovene.) We talked all over the tech map from net neutrality, to the lack of spam calls in Slovenia, to Internet speeds, to his love of the old Nokia ha...
CCATP #595 — Bart Busschots on PBS 79 — Introducing JavaScript Promises
June 01, 2019 00:37 - 1 hour - 38.8 MBBart has been _promising_ us Promises for ages now and he finally fulfills his promise by explaining thenables. Promises are a tool to get us out of "callback hell", which we experienced a while back. I think he made us suffer through that so we'd appreciate Promises. In this episode he shows us the beauty and elegance of the concept but leaves us wanting more. Bart spent a lot of time trying to get the shownotes and his narrative to take this rather abstract concept and make it concrete, ...
CCATP #594 — David Woodbridge on Samsung Galaxy S10, Watch and Buds
May 25, 2019 00:42 - 58 minutes - 26.6 MBDavid Woodbridge of the Vision Store in Australia tells about how he's been testing and using the Samsung Galaxy S10, the Galaxy Watch and the Galaxy Buds side by side with his iPhones, Apple Watch and AirPods. It's a delightful discussion of the relative goodness of both platforms from an accessibility perspective. David is hilarious and we have a bit of fun wandering off topic from time to time. You can find David's many podcasts at: iSee Various Technologies from a Blind Person’s Pers...
CCATP #593 — Bart Busschots on PBS 78 — is.js & Bootstrap Popovers
May 18, 2019 03:07 - 1 hour - 41.8 MBBart Busschots and I both had a great time doing the challenge this week. In this week's installment Bart takes us through his homework not in a detailed step-by-step method, but rather he goes through some major structural ways he created his code. He digs deep enough to explain why but it's a great lesson on building code that's easier to debug and more fun to write. I got to be the tester of his code, and as I suggested improvements he decided he needed to use Bootstrap Popovers. He wa...
CCATP #592 — Bart Busschots on PBS 77 of X — More Callbacks & More AJAX
May 05, 2019 04:47 - 1 hour - 41.3 MBBart Busschots starts this week's episode with a great refresher on what a callback actually is (because I have remained mystified by the term). He starts with simple examples and then shows us how we've been using callbacks all along and just didn't realize it. Then he'll walk through the challenge solution and the extra credit. He shows us how there's two paths to "callback hell", one through nested AJAX calls in parallel, and one with them in series (which sounds worse than it actually is...

CCATP #590 - Bart Busschots on PBS 76 of X - AJAX with jQuery
April 23, 2019 02:46 - 1 hour - 45.3 MBIn this week's episode, we have another in our series Programming By Stealth with Bart Busschots. We'll spend the majority of our time talking about Bart's solution to last week's challenge. It's a great refresher on the methods he's taught us in the past, all rolled together with our newfound skills with Mustaches and templating. Then we'll get a start on using AJAX with jQuery and what sounds to me like a relatively easy challenge … except for that extra credit bit. Bart's extensive tu...
CCATP #589 - Bart Busschots on PBS 75 of X - AJAX Intro
April 08, 2019 02:52 - 1 hour - 35.3 MBIn this episode of Programming By Stealth we get the foundation to start learning about AJAX. Bart gives us an overview of HTTP that is really interesting. I learned so much that I didn't know about what you can see in a URL. I know this sounds super nerdy but I loved learning about query parameters and HTTP methods and even HTTP request headers and cookies.
CCATP #588 - Jeff Gamet on TextExpander Evangelism
March 27, 2019 22:47 - 1 hour - 31.3 MBJeff Gamet of Smile joins us to talk about the life of an Evangelist for TextExpander. We talk about some of the cool things you can do with TextExpander that you may not know about, how TextExpander works on Windows now, how awesome Jean MacDonald was when she was in this job and even funny snippet abbreviations. If you'd like to learn more about TextExpander you can go to textexander.com and you can find Jeff on Twitter and Instagram as @jgamet.
CCATP #587 - Bart Busschots on PBS 74 of X - More Mustaches
March 24, 2019 23:38 - 37.7 MBIn this week's Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots teaches us the last two concepts in Mustache, one of which is a real head bender and for me at least, the second was almost as hard. The first is how you can add an optional third argument to a Mustache view which is actually a function within a function. It's a very meta concept. The second is the use of Mustache Partials which are templates within templates. I expect you'll follow along faster than I did but I _think_ I got there in ...
CCATP #586 - Bart Busschots on Free, Freemium, Free-for-now & Freepi
March 17, 2019 01:55 - 1 hour - 29.8 MBThis week our guest is Bart Busschots but this is not Programming By Stealth. This week we're talking about Bart's recent post about the different types of free that are available for online services. We talk about his four categories: Free, Freemium, Free-for-now & Freepi (rhymes with creepy). It's a thoughtful discussion about understanding what we're getting for free and how we're paying for it. We don't ever suggest what you should do about any of this, rather Bart is trying to help us...
CCATP #585 - Bart Busschots on PBS 73 - Mustache Templates
March 10, 2019 20:19 - 1 hour - 40.7 MBIn this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots teaches us about Mustache Templates. Mustache Templates are a library that allow you to input any string and output a string. Unlike the ```template``` tag for HTML5, Mustaches are not restricted to HTML snippets. Mustache isn't the only game in town but it's Bart's favorite. I found this lesson fairly confusing along the way but when I got to the very end I think I understood it all! There was a key point in his instruction when ...
CCATP #584 - Dave Hamilton on Mesh Routers
March 01, 2019 04:36 - 1 hour - 29.3 MBDave Hamilton of the Mac Geek Gab and The Mac Observer joins us to talk routers, and mesh routers in particular. He explains the difference between a range extender with a traditional router vs. a modern mesh router system. He explains why some IoT devices demand a dedicated 2.4GHz network (or at least they used to). He explains what the marketing numbers mean on routers, like AC2600 and in fact he "does the math". We talk about the importance of the number of antennas, band steering and bea...
CCATP #583 - Bart Busschots on PBS 72 - HTML5 Templates
February 24, 2019 01:44 - 1 hour - 30.6 MBLast time Bart teased us that we were going to learn about the template library called Mustache, but he realized that he needed to teach us about vanilla HTML 5 Templates first. He starts by showing the problem to be solved: how messy and error-prone it is to create HTML elements using jQuery. Then he shows us how templates allow you to create multiple elements via cloning of the templates. The syntax is quite annoying, but I think once we get used to it, it will be pretty easy and efficient ...
CCATP #582 - Donald Burr on 3D Printers
February 14, 2019 02:21 - 1 hour - 35.2 MBAfter a hiatus that was far too long, we're joined this week on Chit Chat Across the Pond by Donald Burr. Even if you don't think you'd ever want a 3D printer, I guarantee that you'll enjoy hearing Donald explain the different models of 3D printers, how you can actually buy one now for far less than you think, and how you can actually build one from a kit. In his wonderfully humorous way, he teaches how not to do it, and how to fix the mistakes you make along the way. I smiled throughout th...
CCATP #581 - Bart Busschots on PBS 71 of X - Bootstrap Spinners
February 10, 2019 15:53 - 1 hour - 46.6 MBIn this week's installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots spends most of the time walking us carefully through each of the methods he used to solve the challenge from last time. He does a great job of reminding us of things we've learned, in some cases more than a year ago, and showing how they were applied for this particular problem. I'm quite proud of one little thing I discovered that Bart didn't know had been introduced in HTML 5. After he's done walking through the challeng...
CCATP #580 - Bart Busschots on PBS 70 - Bootstrap Modals & Toasts
January 28, 2019 23:28 - 1 hour - 41.6 MBIn this week's Chit Chat Across the Pond, Bart Busschots is back with another installment of Programming By Stealth. We'll shift gears a bit away from web pages to web apps as we explore the usage and code behind Bootstrap Modals and Toasts. It's a combination of HTML, Bootstrap for styling and JavaScript for actions so it flexes all of our programming muscles. We wanted to give a special shoutout to Caleb Fong, aka @GeekoSupremo for posting a link in the Podfeet slack to a fabulous cheat...
CCATP #579 - Shai Yammanee on Pulling Back from Social Media
January 24, 2019 22:21 - 52 minutes - 24 MBThis week we have recurring guest Shai Yammanee back, but this time not to talk about photography, videography or performing as he has in the past. Shai recently decided to remove Facebook from his phone (he still accesses it from his computer) and I wanted to have him on to find out why and also to explore this whole movement of people getting out of social media. We talk about the repercussions for "normal" people but also we learn about how important Instagram is for employment for perfo...
CCATP #578 - Bart Busschots on PBS 69 of X — Bootstrap Navbars
January 14, 2019 01:57 - 1 hour - 29.9 MBIn Chit Chat Across the Pond we are finally back to a Programming By Stealth episode. In this installment, Bart teaches us how to create navigation bars in Bootstrap. We learn how to make them collapse and expand to different device screen sizes and how to style them to look nice. We learned how to add branding and how Bootstrap makes it do logical things. It was an extraordinarily easy lesson because Bootstrap makes it that easy. You can find Bart's tutorial shownotes for this episode at...
CCATP #577 - Darren Carr of the Mac Quadcast
January 04, 2019 01:49 - 55 minutes - 25.6 MBThis week I'm joined by Darren Carr, host of the Mac Quadcast. Darren is an Apple blogger and podcaster and he's also paralyzed from the neck down. We spend a bit of time talking about how on earth he does all of this. Just learning how he types 20-30 words per minute using only his eyes (not to mention editing audio and video) was fascinating. After he explained the accessibility tools he uses, we switched gears. I shamelessly stole the format he uses on his show to interview Apple-centr...
CCATP #576 - Dr. Maryanne Garry on Grammar Pet Peeves
December 20, 2018 19:11 - 59 minutes - 27.2 MBThis week we have returning guest, Dr. Maryanne Garry from the University of Waikato but this time it will not be an intellectual, deep learning experience about the mysteries of human memory. This time we're going to talk about our grammar pet peeves. As Maryanne would say, we're both quite pedantic on this topic. Sit back and enjoy our silliness, and please add _your_ grammar pet peeves as comments on podfeet.com, in our Slack group at podfeet.com/slack or in our Facebook group at podfe...
CCATP #575 - Bart Busschots on PBS 68 of X - Bootstrap Navs
December 16, 2018 01:49 - 1 hour - 35 MBIn this week's installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots introduces us to how Bootstrap will help us create navigation in websites or web apps. This is using what Bootstrap calls the Nav component. As always we'll learn how to style the navigation using Bootstrap Pills and Tabs. Then we'll take it up a notch and learn about Bootstrap Panes and how to reveal them within Bootstrap Tabs. As always, Bart's fantastic tutorial can be found at [www.bartbusschots.ie/...](https://www.b...
CCATP #574 - Nica Montfort on Being a Black Woman in Engineering, Tech and Podcasts
December 07, 2018 03:32 - 58 minutes - 26.9 MBNica Montfort, co-host of the snobOS Podcast (along with Terrance Gaines) answers my questions about her education (two STEM degrees, about to be a third), her mentors growing up, how it was getting an education as the only woman or the only black person in her classes. She then tells us why she and Terrance felt it was important for them to create their Apple-centric podcast and why they add the cultural flavor to the show. I think you will to be enchanted by Nica, at least I was! Partway...
CCATP #573 - Bart Busschots on PBS 67 of X - Bootstrap Dropdown Menus
December 02, 2018 19:51 - 1 hour - 27.7 MBIn this week's installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots takes into the land of Bootstrap dropdown menus. He explains the differences between dropdown and selects in HTML, and how there's two different kinds of dropdowns - menus and navigation. The descriptions of how to make the Bootstrap dropdowns takes a while, but when he puts the pieces together, the code is quite sensible. With any luck at all, I _think_ I have added chapter marks to the show to let you jump from the intr...
CCATP #572 - Dave Ginsburg Top 20 iOS 12 Tips
November 15, 2018 15:09 - 56 minutes - 26.1 MBDave Ginsburg, host of the In Touch with iOS podcast at intouchwithios.com joins us to teach us his top favorite iOS 12 tips. Dave is a master at iOS and I learned a lot so I think you will too. You can find Dave on Twitter @DaveG65.
CCATP #571 - Joe Dugandzic Walks Through Tiny Smart Home
November 10, 2018 20:34 - 41 minutes - 18.9 MBThis is a rather unusual Chit Chat Across the Pond where I interview Joe Dugandzic as he walks us around his tiny, smart home. Joe's home is 395 square feet and he produces his Smarter Home Life Youtube series all in that space. The interview is a combination of learning about how to create lighting that is intentional to what you're doing, how he's automated certain functions of his lighting and television and security, and how he's done the Master Class by programming on his Mac through th...
CCATP #570 - Bart Busschots on PBS 66 of X - Bootstrap Form Validation
November 04, 2018 01:27 - 1 hour - 43 MBHTML 5 gives us form validation for free, but it's not very nuanced. In this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart will show us how to use Bootstrap to make our form validation a little less shouty and more useful for the viewer. He shows us how to take a little control, how to take a lot of control and how to take supreme control. That last bit scared me when he introduced it but he does a fantastic job of breaking down the building blocks for us. He builds up the form validation in l...
CCATP #569 - Darren Beyer on Being a NASA Shuttle Engineer and Sci-Fi Author
October 23, 2018 23:24 - 58 minutes - 26.8 MBI get a lot of PR emails trying to get me to interview people. I’ve never responded to one until just now. I was asked if I wanted to interview a former NASA Space Shuttle Engineer turned science fiction author. How could I possibly refuse? Darren’s stories were fascinating as he described being one of the last people tramping around in the cargo bay of the Shuttle before the astronauts got into it to go to space. Crazy dream job! We then shifted gears into his science fiction books. He’s g...
CCATP #568 - Bart Busschots on PBS 65 of X — Bootstrap Input Groups
October 22, 2018 01:17 - 1 hour - 27.6 MBChit Chat Across the Pond this week was Programming By Stealth installment 65 of X. This time Bart takes us through Bootstrap Input Groups. These are really cool. Think about a form that has information you have to fill in, but you're never sure what they're asking for. If they ask for money, what currency do they mean? Are you supposed to include the numbers after the decimal or not? With Bootstrap input groups you can put little symbols or words before or after the input field to make it ...
CCATP #567 - Nuris Coronado and Dan Eckmeier on iPhone XS from a Blind Perspective
October 13, 2018 05:51 - 40 minutes - 18.6 MBWe're joined by Nuris Coronado and Dan Eckmeier this week as they talk about their experiences as blind users upgrading from iPhone 7 to iPhone XS. How is the transition from a home button to Face ID if you can't see? What about the form factor for women vs. men? I learned a few things about iPhone XS that I didn't know along the way.
CCATP #566 - Bart Busschots on PBS 64 - Bootstrap Form Layouts
October 05, 2018 14:07 - 56 minutes - 25.9 MBIn this Programming By Stealth episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond, Bart Busschots teaches us about three more types of Bootstrap Form Layouts. It's not too tough of a lesson and we had a lot of fun working through the lesson. You can find Bart's full written tutorial at bartbusschots.ie/.... Support Bart on Patreon!
CCATP #565 - Matthias Keller on Mastadon
September 29, 2018 14:58 - 1 hour - 59.8 MBI met Matthias Keller on Patrick Beja's Phileas Club when we were both guests on episode 114 entitled "The Social Media Sickness". Matthias mentioned how he's on Mastadon, which is a new-ish social network. I've tried to figure Mastadon out, and hadn't cracked the code, so I asked Matthias if he could come on Chit Chat Across the Pond and explain to us how it works and why he thinks it's useful and fun. Matthias explains what federated instances are, how the local timeline works and how yo...
CCATP #564 - Bart Busschots on PBS 63 of X — Bootstrap Buttons
September 23, 2018 23:05 - 1 hour - 31.4 MBThis week in Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots and I spend a fair amount of time going over the homework challenge from PBS 62. The nuances combined with some refresher on how the pieces fit together was something I really needed so hopefully I wasn't alone. The new part of the episode is dedicated to the all-important Bootstrap Button. We'll learn how to turn things into buttons and why you might want to do that, and we'll learn how to make Button Toolbars which are really slick and ...
CCATP #563 - Bart Busschots on PBS 62 of X — A Basic Bootstrap Form
September 16, 2018 02:32 - 1 hour - 32.6 MBThis week's Programming By Stealth was great fun. Bart Busschots teaches us how to create a web form using the Bootstrap classes to do the job. He explains how Bootstrap literally insists that we make our code accessible, and how sensible it is to just that. We learn the importance of Form Groups, and how Checkboxes and Radio Buttons are a slightly different type of input to a form and so have their own Bootstrap class. It's great fun and the challenges look like fun too. At the end of th...
CCATP #562 - Dr. Michael Kramer on the Study of Digital History
September 05, 2018 18:33 - 1 hour - 30.7 MBI know I say this every week, but I had the best time recording this week with Dr. Michael Kramer, a digital historian from Middlebury College in Vermont. Michael talks about the impact of digital technology on history and culture and the humanities. We talk about the impact of women actually being the computers in the 1960s. We talk about what he hopes his students will do differently in their careers as a result of what they learn in his class. We talk about the insane number of books he m...
CCATP #561 - Bart Busschots on PBS 61 of X — Bootstrap Jumbotrons & Badges
August 30, 2018 17:35 - 51 minutes - 24 MBIn this week's installment, Bart explains how to create two simple Bootstrap components, the Jumbotron and badges. A Jumbotron is a show-case area at the top of a website's front page that shouts out the site's main message and usually has a call to action. Badges are the little bubbles next to titles or within buttons that contain extra information. Often they contain a number, such as number of unread messages, or a short phrase like "New!" or "Best Value". It's a pretty easy lesson and...
CCATP #560 - Robb Dunewood on Android Sideloading for Fortnite
August 22, 2018 17:59 - 42 minutes - 20 MBRob Dunewood of the SMR Podcast joins us to talk about how Epic Games has decided to support their insanely popular app Fortnite on Android but will not offer it through the Google Play Store. This may have significant security implications for users so I asked Rob to come on the show to walk me through what all of this means.
CCATP #559 - Sal Soghoian & Ray Robertson on Automation
August 14, 2018 00:08 - 54 minutes - 25.3 MBIn this episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond I talk to Sal Soghoian and Ray Robertson. Sal was the Product Manager of Automation Technologies at Apple from 1997 to 2016. During his tenure, he was pretty much responsible for all of the automation in the Mac operating system and even the Terminal. Ray Robertson is a seasoned instructor of AppleScript who has spent most of his career teaching beginners and creative people how to use AppleScript. Be sure to check out their Down-Home Scripti...
CCATP #558 - Bart Busschots on PBS 60 of X - Bootstrap & jQuery
August 13, 2018 18:10 - 1 hour - 30.3 MBIn this week's installment of Programming By Stealth Bart introduces us to Bootstrap Components how we can use jQuery to extend Bootstrap. This is the first baby step into JavaScript with Bootstrap. I'm glad Bart started slowly because my JavaScript muscles are just a bit stiff and dusty. You can find Bart's tutorial over at bartbusschots.ie/.... Please consider supporting Bart's work on Patreon.
CCATP #557 - Tom Merritt on Community in Podcasting
August 04, 2018 20:06 - 21.7 MBThis week Tom Merritt, host of the Daily Tech News Show, (and co-host of Cordkillers, Sword & Laser and Current Geek) joins us to talk about the importance of the community to his podcast. We’ll explore how he created such a thriving and participative community, what it means to him, what it would be like without it and even the downsides of having a community. It’s probably one of my favorite discussions with Tom and I always love talking to Tom. You can follow Tom on Twitter @acedtect.
CCATP #556 - Bart Busschots on PBS 59 of X — More Bootstrap Breakpoints
July 29, 2018 01:30 - 50 minutes - 23.5 MBBart takes us back to Bootstrap content, now that we know all about breakpoints. He never told us when we were looking at things like margins and float and the display tag that they are also breakpoint-aware, because we didn't know about breakpoints yet. It's an easy lesson and it's great fun to learn more about how responsive design is done with Bootstrap. You can follow along with the audio with Bart's awesome tutorials at bartbusschots.ie/...
CCATP #555 - Bart Busschots on PBS 58 of X - Bootstrap Breakpoints
July 15, 2018 14:19 - 29.9 MBIn this week's installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots explains Bootstrap breakpoints. Breakpoints allow the designer to define how a web page reacts depending on the size of the viewer's screen. He explains how through some very simple Bootstrap classes, we can allow a semantic tag to be in the "correct" order for screen readers and search engines, and yet have the layout be visually appropriate across all screen sizes. Follow along with Bart's detailed tutorial shownotes ...
CCATP #554 - Dr. Maryanne Garry on Persuasion with Facts and Data
July 07, 2018 14:25 - 53 minutes - 24.8 MBDr. Maryanne Garry returns to Chit Chat Across the Pond, this time to talk about how and why persuasion with facts and data simply doesn't work. If you haven't heard her before, she's a professor at the University of Waikato in New Zealand where she's a scientific researcher into memory, memory distortions, fans memories, the myth of repression and its overlap with the laws. She's also really funny and entertaining.
CCATP #553 - Bart Busschots on PBS 57 of X - the Bootstrap Grid
July 01, 2018 02:52 - 1 hour - 37 MBThings take a turn for the mind-bendy in this installment about Bootstrap as Bart Busschots explains the Bootstrap Grid. He teaches us how containers have rows, rows have columns and the number 12 is really important. In the end he leads me to understanding but it was a bit of a bumpy road getting me there. You'll probably swim right through it without difficulty because of Bart's fabulous shownotes at bartbusschots.ie/.... If you a
CCATP #552 - Steve Harris on Mac App Store Improvements & Dark Mode
June 21, 2018 01:01 - 1 hour - 28.8 MBSteve Harris, developer of Feeder and Keep It from Reinvented Software joins us to talk about how much the Mac App Store has improved for developers and also about the work that will go into making apps work in Dark Mode on macOS Mojave.
CCATP #551 - Bart Busschots on PBS 56 - More Bootstrap Content
June 16, 2018 23:49 - 26.8 MBWe continue learning about how to style our HTML with Bootstrap as we take a look at styling images, figures, and tables. These Bootstrap classes are really easy to use and make such a difference in the look and feel. You can find Bart's tutorial shownotes and the downloads at bartbusschots.ie/....
CCATP #550 - Bart Busschots on How & Tools He Creates His Awesome Shownotes
June 09, 2018 00:43 - 56 minutes - 26.4 MBThis week our guest is Bart Busschots but this is not an episode of Programming By Stealth. Bart is here to talk about the tech tools he uses to prepare his shownotes for his podcast Let's Talk Apple and for his Security Bits segment for the NosillaCast.
CCATP #549 - Bart Busschots on PBS 55 - Bootstrap Content
June 03, 2018 03:18 - 1 hour - 27.9 MBWe finished learning the Bootstrap Utilities last time so this time we get to start learning about continue to learn about Bootstrap moving on from the Utilities into Bootstrap Content. Content is kind of an odd word; it means Bootstrap's styling of regular HTML tags for things like headers, paragraphs, lists and tables. We have a lot of fun playing with our recipes in this episode, learning how to easily style them to be much prettier. Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes are at bartbusschot...
CCATP #548 - Lupita Salazar on Braille Literacy and Tech
May 22, 2018 01:21 - 49 minutes - 23 MBLupita Salazar talks to us about how she learned to read at 6 years old (just like everyone else) through Braille. She was highly influenced by my awesome friend Lore Schindler, who taught Tech and Braille to her and the other students in the Los Angeles Unified School District. He explains why Braille is so important to literacy when many believe audio is a substitute for being able to read. Lupita is a hard core tech head who just loves to experiment and learn new tech (she even used Andro...
CCATP #537 - Bart Busschots on PBS 54 - More Bootstrap Utilities
May 20, 2018 00:46 - 1 hour - 35.2 MBIn this week's episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots takes us through the last bit of the Utilities for Bootstrap 4. We'l refer to the WABAC Machine (kids, ask your parents about Sherman and Mr. Peabody) to installments 8 and 9 comparing positioning with CSS vs. Bootstrap. Thenwe'll learn about sizes and float utilities, Flexbox utilities, and Screen Reader utilities. It's great fun and of course Bart has his excellent companion tutorial at bartbusschots.ie/... and you can find ...
