Georgiana Brummell<p>I am considering learning to program, not as a career but for myself. I have been wanting to do this for a long time but never really started. One thing I do know is that I like procedural languages as opposed to object-oriented ones. I am strongly considering QuickBASIC 4.5 or 7.1, and Turbo Pascal 6.0, but I don't know which to choose as a beginner. I know there are flavours of these that can work with Windows XP and 7, and maybe, one day, I will try them in their 32-bit varients. But for now, I am focusing on the DOS ones,since they are probably easier to learn and use. Is there anything I should know as a totally blind programmer? If I did choose to switch to a Windows varient of one of these languages, how difficult would the transition be?</p><p>If it helps, these are the sorts of programs I use in Windows.</p><p>Notepad Classic, Jarte (can simply use Edit or Wordperfect 5.1, or MS Word 5.5, but simple editor may be good for project)</p><p>MPCHC (mp3 player, I don't mind a simpler one)</p><p>Virtual Recorder (simple mp3 recorder/may be difficult in DOS)</p><p>Thunderbird 102 (most likely too advanced for a beginner)</p><p>TweeseCake, TWBlue (for Mastodon/there is already a DOStodon, but don't know if it's accessible)</p><p>Reddit for Blind, Luna for Reddit</p><p>Cook Timer (simple timers exist, but this may be good to create as a beginner project)</p><p>Openbook, Kurzweil 1000 (ocr and pdf converter, too advanced for beginner)</p><p>various audio and text-based games</p><p>#16-bit #32-bit <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/BASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BASIC</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/DOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DOS</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/QuickBASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QuickBASIC</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/TurboPascal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TurboPascal</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/Windows7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows7</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/WindowsXP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindowsXP</span></a></p>

XodiumLabs<p>Hey hey. </p><p>Yet another post about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VCFWest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VCFWest</span></a> because the maps and layout just went up. </p><p>I’m all the way at the end of the main hall, exhibit 1/The Aero Aesthetic. Come on by on August 1-2, come get your streetpass on if you have a 3DS. Or get a 3D-printed bauble. And maybe play some games or confess your love to whoever’s sitting on one of the other machines via AIM. </p><p><a href="https://vcfed.org/events/vintage-computer-festival-west/vcf-west-2025-layout/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">vcfed.org/events/vintage-compu</span><span class="invisible">ter-festival-west/vcf-west-2025-layout/</span></a></p><p>(Boosts appreciated!)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Windows98" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows98</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WindowsXP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindowsXP</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Retrocomputing</span></a></p>
