Marianna,
One of my mottoes is, “Find what you love to do and find a way to share it with others.” Blogging lets me do just that.

About programs; I mostly use Photoshop Elements on my Mac now. I also have the full-fledged Photoshop on a PC that I can use if here are some features Elements doesn’t have. Mostly I don’t need to do that.

Thanks for coming by and chatting.

Since we’re neighbours (thanks Conrad!), thought I’d better stop by for some coffee & conversation.

I agree with Conrad that blogging constitutes an artistic date.

At workshop I created for gr. 4, 5 & 6 students, I asked them to tell me where they would find creativity useful. The answer: “Pretty much everywhere.” They get it.

Love how you played with your pictures. Which programme do you use, Jean?

Now, Ramana’s blog is another story. A trip across the ocean takes a considerable amount of time.

Conrads last blog post..The Problem With Time

It’s just me and my sandbox ’til then.

I usually write in my journal to think about something or sort something out.

To have fun I enjoy warm baths, walks, and reading.

I used to have these babes’ come to fix my computer and I watched and learnt sooooooooo many things they just ‘did’ like I found out about 6mths after I got the computer what those things at the top right corner of the screen did – minimise, restore, close! (I was scare to touch anything in case, I blew it up!!)

In the early days I even did ‘chat’ thing with IRC or whatever it was called. I used ICQ as well but I have moved on from then…..I learn all the shorthand stuff to a point where my email recipients got annoyed as I would use LOL and YMMV and BTW or BRB )))

There are probably oodles of other things I learnt then…..which I don’t use now. I could touch type because I learnt that in the late 60s with a manual typewriter where you moved the lines by a lever!!

This actually caused me a lot of grief once when in the early days I took a business course and the TUTORS thought because I could touch type – I KNEW HOW THE COMPUTER WORKED! I didn’t………and when I had produce a report they finally UNDERSTOOD i didn’t know how to alter the font, make spaces and sooooooo on!!!!

Later, my nephew gave me a very chunky digital camera with absolutely no instructions and it used a floppy disk. I just did point/shoot and if it didn’t look right I fiddled with the object/light……..now I’ve got a better lighter digital camera and it’s plugs into the front of guts!!

Or course, things still go pear shaped and I have to get someone in……or I have to work out how to fix things. Last week my printer refused to print – said I didn’t have one! So I finally decided to uninstall the cabdoodle and reinstall and NOW it says I have one!!!!

sorry tooooooooo much info!

Cathy in NZ. I didn’t say you were an OLD lady. (I’m the old lady.) But computer wizards are usually under 40, so I’m told-by my computer.
