Is Twitterfeed really this bad, or did I do something wrong? It’s not working at all.

It’s a little test of Twitterfeed, which should be working now. It seems to have a problem with Statusnet, but I’ll see what happens with this post. I don’t think Feedburner will post to statusnet.

According to an Arch Linux News release, GNOME3 will be moved to the Extra package repository, completely replacing GNOME2. This may happen as early as today or tomorrow, most likely depending on how soon the mirrors synchronize.

I am aware that much work has been done to get accessibility features up and running, but I have also read that GNOME3 won’t be fully operational with Orca until the 3.2 release. I just performed what is likely to be my last upgrade before GNOME3 is moved, but I don’t really want to ignore the gnome package group in all future upgrades until the 3.2 release, which could break something, I definitely don’t want to stop all upgrades on my system until 3.2 is released, and I most certainly don’t feel like going distro hopping again, now that I found one I really like.

Has anyone reading this tested GNOME3 with Orca? I know that gnome-shell isn’t working well, but does fallback mode work out of the box? What major pitfalls can I expect in this release, and how easy is it to correct any problems I may experience? Feel free to leave your answers in the comments at the bottom of this post, or you can also respond on Identica, Twitter or Facebook, each of which has a link to or a copy of this post.

Well, tumblr's phone audio post feature looks like a lot of fun, but I don’t like Flash, so I most likely will never use it. Too bad, really, 'cause I kinda liked the idea of being able to call in a voice post from my phone.

That should do it. Now I just need to get someone with eyes to be sure my design looks good. Combining 3 themes may not look as good as it sounds to the screen reader. Lol. And the very small amount of sight I have doesn’t allow me to see more than the fact that I have light text on a dark blue background.
