Visitor Orientation

Lovely web 2.0 iconsImage by tobiaseigen via Flickr


I originally set up Opit's LinkFest! as Oldephartteintraining to provide a timeline and history of my online wanderings. When 2 years of work at WordPress went up in smoke when the files were archived - they own the site, remember - I transferred to a European webhost because at the time I was paranoid about my popularity making me a target of online hackery /censorship ; trashing the record of events provided.

Who reads 'About' anyway ?

It was where I stashed basic ideas for novice surfers to access online tools and services : online orientation. I came from a country modem that took forever to load. RSS just looked like too much of a miracle not to share on a basic service without bells and whistles.
I'm sure today using computers at work, cellphones, or living in the country are still a pain in the nether regions. Nor is all the world serviced efficiently. Otherwise...things have progressed. I use a computer that was built for me almost 5 years ago...with a new board and Operating System!
This is my toy and recreation. I hope I can help you to find things of interest to you. I know the stuff I list isn't everybody's choice.
That's the kicker. You can make your own  choices without being technically able. The Web is one fantastic public library : but, Windows users. Kindly do not surf as Administrator. 
 
I've tried to start things off so as to give you a chance to pick up tips as you go...and hopefully start the order of presentation as to give coherent order where you get basics first.
