    Shake awake alarm clock

    This is an old thread. But does anyone know if there is a shake-awake product that can be activated from a remote? I live with my mother and sometimes she has a fall in the night and im almost completely deaf without my hearing aid when i sleep. I use a shake awake as an alarm, and i just...

    Deaf cyclist needs advice.

    Is your desire to ride a bike for commuting around town or purely recreational? As others have already suggested bike trails or areas with bike lanes might be best, avoid main roads and busy intersections. I have experienced being hit by two different cars on my pushbike many years ago (not...

    GTA IV: Liberty City PD First Response

    LOL so the city might have to send the paramedics on foot with a stretcher instead! I have GTAIV uninstalled at the moment. The thing i most disliked of the gameplay was the shonky driving physics, the cars seemed to have very soft suspension.

    Any Euro Truck Simulator 2 players here?

    Yeah i am looking forward to American Truck Sim too, it should have better graphics but same gameplay as ETS2, hopefully with some more new features as well. Ive never been to the UK or Europe so it hasn't bothered me. At least people in the UK drive on the left like we do here. But i can...

    Freelance web-design vs difficult clients

    I suppose it would be easy to pick and choose clients if you have plenty to choose from. But it would be very hard if you have to take what clients come your way i guess that would be the downside of freelancing, not knowing if client numbers will dry up from time to time. However i believe...

    Greetings from New Zealand

    No didn't and when growing up because i didn't need hearing aids at that time and i could speak normally and hear speech ok. I mean didn't have anything to compare what normal hearing was. Being completely deaf in my right ear and being able to hear in the left. I blended in. Its almost an...

    Freelance web-design vs difficult clients

    lol But I wonder on the whole, how many difficult clients you might face versus those who what would be considered good customers. It seems in this world more and more as time goes by rather than "treat others as you would want to be treated" instead it's "everyone for themselves".

    Captioning devices in theaters?

    I am from New Zealand. So on the whole over in the States most movie theaters do not have captions (be it on certain days and times?) hardly at all or its pretty rare? Or do most have options for hearing challenged people to use a device that has captions? Here in NZ it's pretty much...

    Deaf for a day.....

    Freelance web-design vs difficult clients

    Hi all. Who on here works (or previously worked) as a freelance web-designer? This is something I am thinking about doing myself down the track and wanting a bit of advice. I was having a discussion in another thread with MattB about the pitfalls of working for yourself as a...

    Greetings from New Zealand

    Its webdesign im learning, its going along okay thanks. :) Hopefully the party is on the weekend. I hope your partner will be considerate with the volume of music. You could try having a power-nap in the afternoon, which they say 20mins is better than longer when having a powernap. As i said...

    Voice chat to text for Ventrilo?

    It would be cool to have something like that, but i do not think the tech is there yet. I have heard even something like Naturally speaking dragon voice to text isn't that great either. However voice commands can work somewhat, i used to play this game called "Enigma: Rise of tide" which was a...

    GTA IV: Liberty City PD First Response

    I have heard about this a while back but never tried it out. I think this would be much better in GTAV where the car handling seems to have been improved not to mention the other gameplay. GTAV comes out later this year apparently on the PC, but will it run on the average Joe's PC? I am...
