Seeking Best Accessibility Practices

Thanks for All the Fish

It’s been over two years since I retired from my last accessibility employment. I kept this blog around just in case I decided to continue accessibility consulting, go freelancing, etc.

My stint in accessibility consulting brought me many wonderful friends, colleagues and acquaintances. It also gave me the opportunity to help improve the web a little bit for people with disabilities, especially inside one very large corporation. Since retirement, I’ve watched accessibility matters from the sidelines, but spent more time pursuing other interests. I won’t rule out something causing me to reengage in accessibility work, but it’s not happening at the moment.

The domain name is up for renewal in early March. I’m going to let it lapse this time.

THANKS to all I have known in the accessibility world. It has been a very rewarding pleasure to know and work with you.

    Sorry to hear that…
    You do not know, but you’re the one who triggered my interest for Accessibility many years ago.
    Good luck with your future endeavors,
    Thierry

    No need to be sorry Thierry; I’m having a fine time. I have always enjoyed watching how you wrestle with and solve problems while maintaining great semantic value. You’re one of the people I thank.

    Keep having fun.

    Sorry to hear about that but thanks for the interesting articles. All the best with the retirement!

    Cheers,
    Ruth

    PS: Will the content here be moved to another location when the domain lapses?

    What’s this with the sympathy? I’m not dead!

    In fact, it’s a lot of fun being retired and doing all the things there was no time for a few years ago. No sympathy needed.

    No, the content won’t be posted elsewhere. It disappears. Most is testing on such old versions of screen readers that it’s now obsolete.

    Thanks anyway for the well intended greetings Ruth. All the best…
