[05:02] schestowitz "
[05:02] schestowitz Front-end developers typically have the lion's share of responsibility for building accessible, user-friendly applications, but back-end developers also have a role to play, says Christopher Tozzi.
[05:02] schestowitz This article shares five ways devs can make the apps they build more accessible for all users, including:

[09:46] schestowitz[09:46] schestowitzRegular readers will know that I helped get and several power symbols into Unicode. When I do talks about this, I usually refer to them as Emoji because, to most people, Emoji are simply little pictures in text. But that is a gross oversimplification. You know the meme that real Champagne must be from the Champagne region of France - otherwise it is merely sparkling wine? Well, Emoji must come from the [09:46] schestowitz Supplementary Multilingual Plane of Unicode otherwise they're just sparkling characters.
[09:46] schestowitzExcept... That's not quite true. There are a bunch of symbols stuffed in the Miscellaneous block of the Basic Multilingual Plane which are also Emoji.

I bought it as a curiosity item because it was nearly 20 years old yet still largely applicable to modern Linux and BSD.
[10:20] schestowitzThat amused me then and now. A booklet written in 1986 was still largely relevant in 2016, while books on the same shelf about a proprietary OS weren't worth the paper they were printed on. (Think about it: What technology doyouthink is going to survive a zombie apocalypse?) I've had the booklet on my own bookshelf for several years now, but it occurred to me that it's probably worth doing a little digital preservation of [10:21] schestowitz this artifact, so I decided to scan the booklet to create aCBZ ebook.
Scanning was easy, albeit time-consuming, withSkanlite. After I was finished, however, I discovered that some pages weren't quite level.
In printing, this is called a registration problem, meaning that the position of what's being printed isn't correctly orientated on the page.
