Here’s a great guide for Windows users to optimise images for web using Google’s free Picasa image software. Very useful for, say, taking your 30 excellent photos of your recent trip to the Drakensberg and making them smaller before you email them to 500 of your closest friends. They’ll thank you!
At the place where I’m staying we have an awesome domestic worker named Jostina (or Moitsane – her Tswana name). It’s her birthday today and she gave me a letter which reads like this:
Dear Roger
I’m sorry to bother you, I need some help with a computer. My children are in need of a pc. If you know anyone who has a pc which they don’t use please let us know. If you do have some you can offer help too.
My children go to Boston College where you have to have a pc in order to read.
Please let me know when you found one.
From
Jostina
So, does anyone have a functional pc lying around which they would be happy to give towards a worthy cause? I would probably install Ubuntu on it, so no worries about viruses
