Even the aged can learn Linux

Wordless Wednesday

Great read

Linux for dummies … well this ladies no dumb, although she might be a little old to learn all about linux. Good for her!

BTW I haven’t written here for a while - obviously the upgrade went just fine. I’ve just been busy, but I’ve found plenty of great stuff to write about. I just need to find the time!

With any luck it will be back up and running in a few minutes.

Do new gadgets make you drool?

Let’s face it - most of you visiting this site probably love your gadgets. Laptops, computer accessories, electronic games, blackberries and high tech mobile phones. I know I do!

I enjoy hearing about new gadgets and trying to keep up with all the changes that are constantly going on. Some gadgets make me drool like my dog does when I offer her a treat … even if there’s no way I can afford any new electronic toys - at least not when they first come out. Better to wait until the prices come down and I can justify the need - or at least that’s what I tell myself.

Here’s some interesting videos about the latest gadgets coming out on the market. I’m sure you’ll find some of them pretty interesting and maybe one or two will even make you drool too.

I’m sick of being slapped around

Seriously. Is Google still slapping bloggers around or what?

One of my few remaining main blogs that had PR after the last Google slap just lost PR today. It’s down to a big fat zero.

Why?

I’ve slowed down on posting on all my sites quite a bit over the last few months - in part due to our new puppy (very sick for first month with us) - and if there was anything wrong with what I was doing in the past there really shouldn’t be anything wrong now. My sites are all cleaned up - free of any badges that it seems the big G doesn’t like anymore or perhaps never liked because those companies must have threatened Google’s Adsense biz.

I think this whole thing is ridiculous. I mean Google is selectively penalizing certain bloggers while exempting “A” list bloggers from their slap. Is there really something terribly wrong with making some money writing about sites or products that you would have written about anyway? No. I don’t think so.

Not that I’ve done many posts on this site in the last few months, but I can say that there hasn’t been a paid review on this site for 3+ months.

Wishing everyone a Happy new Year!

I just wanted to wish all my visitors health and happiness in 2008!

I’m a little behind in wishing everyone a Happy new year! well … I’m also a little behind in writing posts on this site. December was a busy month here and I think things are just getting back to normal or will be soon!

We added a new puppy to our household and that created chaos … especially since it turns out we bought a sick puppy. she’s getting better but she’s been a bit more of a handful and needed more care than a healthy puppy would have and that has also taken me away from blogging regularly.

So my hopes for the new year are to get back to regular blogging - quickly!
