For those who don't know me this is Ashley here, one of the original founders of the Raeder24 Network. This entry is just the first as an introduction to the random crazy stuff that goes on in my life.
I had recorded a few things for someone on the Braille+, whitch, although it has its glitches is a pretty decent device. The other day I was trying to take those folders and put them on my computer so that I could send them over skype to the person they were intended for. Sounds easy, doesn't it? I mean how hard could moving files be? If you operate a computer but can't move a file, then... I really don't know what to tell you.
The device comes with this cable so that you can either charge it in a wall charger or plug it into USB and charge using your computer. I was going that route, because if you plugged the device into the computer it would show you it's files just like any other device. This time however, it charged fine but it wasn't showing up what so ever in my list of drives. So then I decided, fine, I'd set up my FTP server and upload them to my computer that way. But, fail once again, because I couldn't figure out how to FTP on the braille+. If anyone knows, please do tell.
Finally I realized that the very same cable I was using also had another port on it. To me it looked like you could plug a thumb drive into it and use that as another drive for the braille+. I plugged the drive in, and thankfully everything recognized. So I took the files, put them on the drive, took the drive and put that in my computer, and then sent them. Three and a half hours later, I finally had my files.
