Dear Reader
Thought I would try a little blogging from the text window rather than what I have been doing which is using "Blog This". The weather in Christchurch has been dismal with constant rain and cold for the last two weeks, the temperature rarely gets above 10 deg C and we have had some snow. All this despite the fact that we are only one week away from the official start of Spring, the 1st September.
Here is a link to "Words"
This is a blog that I hope will allow friends of mine to get some publicity for their art and poetry.
Last week I started a computer graphics course, having got my NZQA Computing Level III Certificate in the last year and a half, I hope to refine my meager skills with Photoshop and Freehand. Having spent the last thirty seven years or so involved in electronic hardware repair and construction I feel that as I am getting older I really need to move into a more artistic state of mind and try to communicate some of the things I have learned in my life, using graphic arts . After finishing this course I want to learn the basics of web site design and then I hope to get a job where I can put these skills to use.
In the course of my training I have come across a lot of younger people who have fine computing skills and I am going to have trouble competing in the job market. I missed a job last week because I had no web site maintenance skills even though I had all the other necessary requirements.
Nevertheless, I am enjoying the work with computers in general and I am satisfied with the progress I have made.
Bye for now
Robert

Whenever I see articles like this, of which there are more and more, I think about going back to Zambia, my home country. Unfortunately I know nothing about farming, it would be wonderful to start from the "grass roots" and work up, like that movie about the Amish starring Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis, can't remember the name at the moment: BBC NEWS | In pictures: Rebuilding

Slick way to re instal your operating system and according to reliable sources this program works without a hitch, including XP and SP2: Download Autostreamer 1.0.28 - Basically, all it really needs is a source (that being an original Windows CD or a local share) and a Service Pack file
Not quite sure what is going on here. I had a quick read and this and what he has written would make me vote for John Kerry. But this site is posting the book as if it is an indictment against him?????: JOHN KERRY'S THE NEW SOLDIER
