A little basic help for ya
I have squandered a lot of time trying to figure out how to make simple explanatory pages for people on how to use their computers and the net. So, I went looking and I found some people who can do it a whole lot better than I can.
If you know people who need help learning the basics of the internet, point them to BBC’s Webwise page. There’s also a really basic tutorial on computers too. They’ll thank you for it.
With Leslie being gone over the past couple of weekends on interviews I have been tinkering about with some ideas for pages and content. Hopefully you’ll see a bit of that in the upcoming weeks.

I mean, this guy should get his own late night talk show when this is over. Al-Jazeera could host it, except that he’s made them mad too. Of all the dire and serious events going on, for this guy to go ranting about anything and expect to be believed in ridiculous.

Also, I managed to get someone at Central Command to send me the world map wallpaper you may see plastered all over the plasma screens at the Doha, Qatar media center. You can download it from here.
