Computing for Oldies in Oxford
I'm delighted to say that I will be holding my seminar on Saturday July 25th aat Wadham College, Oxford.
‘How to get the better of your computer’, will run that day. If you’re very keen I will also be offering private tuition. A delicious lunch and dinner in Hall will be served on the Friday before and on the Saturday
The Oxford Shakespeare Company happens to be performing Romeo and Juliet in the college gardens that week if you’d like an opportunity for some culture as well.
The cost of the seminar, meals and one night’s accommodation is £195.

Gloal warming snow
October 30, 2008 Snow fell as the House of Commons debated global warming yesterday - the first October fall in the London since 1922. That's what I call irony.

Do you Yahoo?
October 27, 2008 If you use Yahoo for your email, be sure to use a fairly mysterious password. A teenager in America found it quite easy to work out what Sarh Palin' s password was (yes, that Sarah Palin).
The son of Tennessee Representative Mike Kernell, David Kernell was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Knoxville for intentionally accessing Palin's Yahoo email account without authorisation. According to the three-page indictment, David Kernell gained access to gov.palin@yahoo.comon September 16 by exploiting weaknesses in Yahoo's password reset feature.
All he had to know was her postcode and high school, and bingo, he changed her password.
They can catch him - but what about all those spam senders? Wouldn't it be better if the concentrated on catching them?
