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.

There’s not that many women who get out of bed for me, Jooly; most get into bed.
