Later in the day I read of a favorite tutorial site, which shall remain nameless until I do a proper review, was bumping its fees to
We, humans are social animals, we communicate with each other by any means possible, originally it would have been by voice, or drum or smoke, what ever worked. Let's face it though those methods are not very reliable and the messages tended to get muddled. Then came the written language which was more reliable, but only a few could read
When I launched this blog I made a commitment that even years down the road that I would go to great lengths to preserve the data that has been written here. This blog is not run by a big multi-national corporation and if it disappeared off the face of the net, I am of no illusion that it would not
