@bmoore123 Ferocious Farley, a new nickname for a most laid-back dog

well, on the go train this morning, some lady had an absolute fit because she figured Farley was going to eat her. He was just sitting beside me near the door because there were no seats. he didn't even move. guess he is really frightening or not really!!!

@bmoore123 Wow and the others in Canada?

@pgrucza 4 of the 8 are here

yes, it is already happening. I know personally at least 5 people who have lost their jobs in digital accessibility There has been talk of it at my own organization and I suspect many more. this is private sector.

@bmoore123 Here in Toronto?

make that 8 now!

@bmoore123 Good luck!

well, big organizations move slowly. Seems final step of job interview thing is happening this week.

@DoctorScull What would @NoelStuder say?

I seem to have open file itis. The disease of always thinking open files should be taken. Does anyone have a chapter from a book (or other resource) that contains examples of not taking open files. I need to undermine my instinct to grab every open file. #chesspunks

@briankardell Thanks I’ll keep a look out for it. I’m really trying to understand how different browsers are approaching the problem

@pgrucza (Just incase that helps 🙂)

Excited about getting the whole visual order thing sorted out in CSS... (A slide from #blinkon presentation introducing blink/standards work on this problem)

@bmoore123 Ha if done right it could also make people laugh a bit and learn something. Yes annoy a few too

@pgrucza it could be you know but it might annoy a lot of people.

so an update on work things. I found a way of getting there while avoiding the intersection from hell. This is useful. Today was interesting though, there are still several issues with the building itself like destination dispatch elevators that don't work properly

@bmoore123 This sounds like the start of a real good presentation idea

interestingly, they did come up with an accessible option for the touch screen coffee machines. video on that tomorrow. More coming up for the two people who care!

@xirclebox @dustinsgoodman @toddlibby Firefox on macOS is changing how it handles tab navigation. The change is in nightly builds now. Release notes mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/…

Is it common knowledge that Safari and Firefox don't properly support tabbing pages making them unaccessible to keyboard users? Checking with my #a11y champions @xirclebox @toddlibby

@DoctorScull @ChessTempo Have a look at some of the help info to get an idea of stats available. They have a variety of options to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. #userstatistics" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">chesstempo.com/manual/en/manu…

Last @chesstempo question of the day. When I click stats, there isn't much there. Are there any graphs/breakdowns of different strengths and weakness like lichess has? Is this a paid feature? #chesspunks

@thebillygregory I wish I could be there. I hope everyone has a great day!

It’s #a11yTO Camp day! 300+ registered for a full day of awesome talks! 2 tracks plus #a11yOpen so everyone can contribute!

@CanadaHonk Eventually someone will simply say blame Canada

for I am become code reviewer, destroyer of CIs

@cjforms @adamsilverhq In my experience it's the disparate systems employees and clients use to interact with a corporate entity, from SAP to legacy software and the new custom built data dashboard

@adamsilverhq It’s the new name for what we used to do in the 1990s but weren’t allowed to do from 2000: Trying to improve the systems that workers use inside organisations. The canonical examples: timesheets and travel booking / expenses. But really, all “legacy systems” used by staff.

What’s ‘enterprise UX’? 1. Data tables, search, filter, pagination, modals and edit-in place? 2. Lots of users? 3. Big company? 4. Other?

@natesolon I started with Discovering Chess Openings, John Emms, and then followed it with First Steps: 1 e4 e5 also by GM Emms . I'd say Discovering... focuses on understanding concepts first

What opening books/courses are there that are ACTUALLY for beginners? I've been looking around and I feel much of the stuff marketed to beginners is really more for intermediate+.
