Bienvenue

This is the beginning of my new blog, covering all aspects of computing and technology on all of the platforms. I’ll be covering tips, techniques, and how-to’s that make our lives as computer users easier and more satisfying. This blog won’t focus on a single platform, programming language, or topic. Rather, since I don’t believe there’s a perfect computer platform, I’ll be covering the whole range of topics on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux - shell scripts, web design, OS tweaks, application programming, and OS interoperability. As an electrical engineer by training, I’ll even throw in some DIY electronics tips. Hopefully, this will help some of you to ease your computer experience. After all, these things are supposed to make our leaves easier. I’m always open for suggestions of topics to cover so feel free to drop me a line if you’ve got some ideas or questions. And if you’ve got a web site that covers similar topics, let me know, and I’d be happy to link to it.

Cheers,

Alex
