Sex n Drugs n Real-World Accessibility, London, August 8

You bring the drugs, and we’ll tell you about real-world accessibility at the second Real World Accessibility Workshop (by popular demand after the success of the first).

Highlights include

  • Ann McMeekin AKA “Pixeldiva” of the RNIB on “How disabled users use the web”
  • Patrick “Herb” Lauke on “Too much accessibility – good intentions, badly implemented”
  • The Tom Jones of the access world, Grant Broome, on “GIS, PDF and other monsters in the closet”
  • The John Holmes of ex-local authority webmasters, Dan Champion, on “Quality assurance – testing, monitoring and maintaining accessibility”
  • The rakishly handsome and debonair Ian Lloyd on “Real world examples of common accessiblity cock-ups in the wild”
  • .. And yours truly, introducing the day with “Web Accessibility: What, Why, How, and Who Cares?”

This time, it’s open to all – not just public sector workers. Note that we’re not trainers or theorists; we all work, day in and day out, on making real websites accessible.

Tell them I sent you on the booking form – they buy me a pint for every referral, and I’ll snog you afterwards. With tongues.

I was just about to book my ticket for the event until you mentioned that I would be snogged with tongues. How revolting! I was so disgusted that I showed my wife. She then begins to book a dozen tickets just for herself!

She’ll be getting the papers from my solicitor in the morning. Atchung!

Late news… I’m going be making a very compact and bijou presentationette at the event.

You and Patrick may get that aforementioned three-way after all…

You’re on bloody early, mate. There’s not many men I’d get out of bed that early for.
