Maybe goodbye

Its now an ordeal to read LIT posts, and I may give it up.

If nothing else your posts are entertaining, and usually worth reading.

I'll be sorry to see you go.

 

[AMoveableBeast]

Don't cry for me Argentina! The truth is I never left you!

Seriously, James, don't go. You're like the drunken, racist, hard-boiled uncle I never had.

At least come back for the Christmas contest. I can't imagine the holidays without you bitching about adverbs and tossing the "n-word" around.

It's almost a tradition!

Wonder how long your farewell tour will last--and be promoted.

Is this a content issue, or is it your eyesight?

eyesight is awful

LAUREL luvs the low contrast color schemes, and I need high contrast.

 

[lovecraft68]

If you go to the control panel on your computer and go into display settings you can change the resolution to make the scree and font bigger

What Lovecraft said or go to your browser settings and change the colors of what appears in the browser. Most let you override what the website is using.

Not only that, but ctrl + makes the font displayed bigger while ctrl - make it smaller and ctrl 0 sets it back to what the original size was.

For Chrome you will have to download some extension(s) to help with the contrast problem like High Contrast or Change Colors.

In Firefox you can change them in the options tab Content by clicking on the Colors button.

What about text audio readers?

My puter has a magnifier tool that makes text etc huge but is a pain in the ass to use. I already had the text set at 200%. Its now plenty big but the contrast is as bad. I cant see gray print on a pastel background.

Have you tried "Large Font Style"? I'm assuming you know how to change the look of the forums among all the fixed/liquid choices at the bottom left of a forum page. Large font has larger black letters on a light gray background.

If that doesn't work consider hiring a community college cheerleader to read Lit posts for you.

ETA: An extension like Zeb mentioned might help web surfing all around.

I have this theory that the NOIRTRASH we've come to know and love is in fact a Birkenstock wearing, liberal woman, with iron grey hair, horned rimmed glasses and a different hand knitted fair-trade cardigan (with matching socks) for every day of the week.

The thing is, she works in the basement as an archiver in a big old public library in New York. Her job had been quite solitary, but over the years she has had to spend increasing amounts of her day being patient and kind to irritating undergraduates who make inane demands of her time and ask stupid questions.

If the library sack her before she reaches retirement age she will lose part of her pension, so she's cultivated this rabid, cantankerous alter ego as a therapeutic release mechanism so she can maintain her polite facade.

Not even close.

He's just typical redneck west coast of Florida trailer trash. The west coast of Florida is similar to the left hand coast of the US of A but with less fruits and nuts and a whole lot more flakes. Hang in there Bubba, we'll teach ya braille. Here, read these nipples. Yee Haw.

Thats what she WANTS you to think.

 

[geronimo_appleby]

i'll miss you, JBJ.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

Both are right. I'm a retired old maid librarian spending my golden years at the Lucky Dawg Trailer Court and RV Park. I'm the Supreme Commander of the parks Crime Watch Force.

Thanks, my nose is pressed against the monitor. Maybe someone sells a text to audio converter.

Firefox already has one built in, I believe.

ETA: Nope, it's an extension you can download. Text to Speech.

There are many Text to Speech/Voice extensions for Firefox.

If you are a Chrome users there are T to S extensions also.

Chrome Text to Voice.

I like that! With an especially embittered view of MFA poetry or fiction grad students.

 

[Tio_Narratore]

Don't go, James! We'd all miss you far too much. Make use of the technology.

 

[TxRad]

The best free Text to Speech program available is from England. One of the royals sponsors it. I'll have to see if I can find it again. I found it when RumpledForeskin finally lost his battle with his sight.

Hate to see you go. Have often not agreed with your opinions but have always enjoyed your comments and contributions.

Denny--- Us trailer trash need you here to help spread shit and make people smile. Crime here in the parks is getting worse by the day.

I poked on eye out with a 30' tree branch so only have one to peek at the monitor. Just take more breaks away from it and return to stir the pot.

I'm just one more speed bump from being elected mayor of mine.

It's Florida. Here "Trailer Trash" is more of an endearment than a slam.

No, this is him, right here
