Hi Troy, We are using KeePass 2. Works fine. The database sits on a share, the software is installed on each computer we need it on.

Affirmative action forms
by Samuel Barnes 26 Aug '19

26 Aug '19

When filling out job applications I often come across affirmative action or diversity forms that you must fill out in order to complete the application. These include sections relating to disability. The dropdown menus usually include an "I decline to answer" option, but you can't just leave it blank. I feel like this is forcing me to shoot myself in the foot in terms of my chances of getting an interview. Here's why: If I explicitly indicate that I have a disability, they won't consider me. Yeah yeah I know the standard response: "But discrimination is illegal, and they're incentivized to hire disabled people." There's zero chance of me proving I wasn't considered due to my disability vs any other reasons a candidate is filtered out. As for incentives. If they're going to hire a disabled person, they'll hire a book keeper in a wheelchair or something else where the disability has absolutely no effect on how the person does their job. If I say that I don't have a disability than I've lied on the job application, and it'll be obvious when I walk into the interview with a dog. If I say "I decline to answer" (this isn't the same as leaving the field blank, you usually can't continue until all fields are filled.) then I feel like not only will they know I have a disability, but I have one that I want to hide from potential employers. No able bodied person is going to decline to answer the question. There's no downside for them to say they don't have a disability. I've had four interviews in the last two months. Two of them went very badly. One was for a night shift at an NOC where the guy flat out told me I couldn't do the job. The other one crashed and burned because they wanted someone with a drivers license. (that's a frustratingly common requirement for these MSP and K-12 school jobs). Another interview was super short. They asked me a few boilerplate tech questions that anyone with an A+ could answer, and that was pretty much it. I don't think it was even 15 minutes. Sorry this turned into kind of a rant, but I wanted your opinion on these affirmative action forms. Am I crazy for thinking this?

Browser Issues with JAWS and NVDA

Hi All, I have an issue on multiple PC's where when I login to the Mikrotiks or UBNT equipment, it freezes the browser because the interface tables are dynamically updating and the screen readers can't seem to handle it. Do you have any suggestions besides doing this all in SSH? Thanks, Billy

Hi, Yes i can confirm this sluggishness. NVDA 2019.2, Router OS 6.39.1. I don't know if that refreshing can be turned off in the settings of the router somehow.

After loggin into it, go through the config tree and click on Interfaces. This is where it will become an issue. Sometimes after the devices are setup... after login, it will automatically put you in the interfaces page which keeps you from getting to anywhere else because it freezes.

Hi all, We need a Software, wiki, CMS or whatever to document our IT and our software tutorials. At the moment we are using OneNote 2016 or at least my coleagues use OneNote and i am basically am lost. We need something accessible, offline if possible solution to manage all that stuff. Any ideas from the folks over here? My sighted people like clicky things and pictures. *smile* So i guess markdown and converting that to html using hugo or a wiki might be unfriendly for them. Or a software with both a visual and a code based editor. Prefered open source. So basically that they can write their stuff in word and paste it into the browser, software or whatever.

Loading a javascript module
by John G Heim 07 Aug '19

07 Aug '19

Can you load a javascript module in a script embedded in a web page? If so how? I am trying to write a web page to display values in a yaml data file. I want to read this yaml data, parse it, and display the values. I found there is a javascript module available to do that. I installed it on my linux machine with the command 'apt-get install node-js-yaml'. The examples that come with the code don't work when embedded in a script on a web page. The line where it fails looks like this: var yaml = require('js-yaml'); I have been googling all day but all I can find are more examples that do not appear to be embedded in a web page. -- John G.

Terminal improvements are coming to NVDA 2019.3!
by Bill Dengler 07 Aug '19

07 Aug '19

Hello, I’ve been working as a Google Summer of Code student with NV Access over the past couple of months. My project <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5317267756154880/> involves improving NVDA performance and stability in the Windows Console used by Command Prompt, PowerShell, and the Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10 version 1803 and later. The new console support is set to ship as part of NVDA 2019.3, to be released later this year. In the mean time, I’d greatly appreciate your testing of, and feedback from, the latest master (alpha) snapshots, which can be found on this page <http://nvda-project.org/snapshots>. A limited version of the new support will also ship in 2019.2 within the next few weeks behind a feature flag. Thanks in advance for testing, and be sure to let me know what you think! Bill
