Prediction 2
My second prediction has gone live on Lowey Predicts
The news will report a tragedy before my next prediction. There will be a number of deaths. This will be offset by good news on Friday.
Work
Had a fun day at work today. Spent most of it looking at my website in screen-readers. Well, I say looking...more like listening I suppose. It's not awful through a screen-reader...but it's not great either. I need to do some work on it to improve its screen-readability.
Spoke to a woman from IS about screen-readers on campus and accessibility tools. She told me a tool was about to be made available and she offered to let me know when. I gave her my email address and she said rather bluntly
"Oh you're an undergrad?"
"Er, yes." I replied. "I'm an Industrial Year student working with the OLU"
"Well don't you have a staff account?"
"No. I was told I could have one but not seen it yet."
She told me who to speak to. I spoke to them. I now have a new email address and free printing. WOO!
Car
After work I went to Halfords to purchase a new rear windscreen washer jet. They weren't sure which I needed, so they said "try this one. Bring it back if it's not right and we'll refund you"
So I tried putting it on while I was in the carpark, and it wasn't right. Turned out they didn't have one for a 106 and so I was told to go to the Peugeot dealer on Llanbadarn Road. They were closed. However they open tomorrow at 8:30 so I'll go before work.
The bugger is still leaking masses of water, and I still can't work out where it is coming from.
