Last weekend I went to my first airshow in ages, at Lydd in Kent, and took lots of photos of the various flying machines there.

This entry is essentially just an excuse to show of some of the photos I took.

The biggest barrier to creating an accessible Internet is not browser support or badly designed syntax, but rather people's false beliefs of what accessibility is; what it means to 'be accessible'. For many people, being accessible means switching from font tags to CSS, using em tags for italics, and replacing tables with divs. THAT IS NOT ACCESSIBILITY!

For over two years now I haven't had personal broadband Internet access. In April I got an XDA Mini S, which promoted me from horrificly basic WAP to painful GPRS access. It was a huge freedom being able to access the web over the weekend, but it is slow, expensive, and there is an appauling choice of browsers for Windows Mobile.
My insanity has been held at bay by being able to stay after work and catch up on things, but I've still not been able to play online games, download large files, listen to streaming music, and so on.

Soon most of this will be over, when I finally get broadband access, via high-speed 3G from Vodafone. It will still be relatively expensive and I still won't be able to download large files, but at least I can turn images back on, browse more than three pages at a time, and not have to wait for ages just for a simple page to load.
