Not sure about the simple home remedies
- AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP. (12 year olds are so gullible)
- AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK. (The tree outside the front door works well too)
- FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.
- A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON. (Rat traps are excessive and effect daily productivity)
- IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH. (Otherwise use duct tape - for either)
- YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - Q20 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE Q20. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE. (For heavy duty problems add cable ties)
- IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

Goodbye, Geocities.
GeoCities was my first introduction to web development and hosting. It saw me through some good times in the past and even though I am no longer using it, I am sad to see it so. Tonight I will have a drink for GeoCities and the memories it holds for me.
Goodbye and thanks!

Never a truer word...
Two donkeys were in the field nearby Jerusalem. The one donkey said; " Idon't understand it, just a day before yesterday everyone was throwing their
clothes and palms on the road when I was carrying Jesus on my back but from
yesterday I'm back to being nothing. Those people don't even see it's me who
was carrying Jesus."
The other donkey said: "It works like that, without Jesus you are nothing in
this world"

America move Forward
From the New York Times
First Federal Chief Information Officer
Perhaps not surprisingly, President Obama has formed a close friendship with the District of Columbia’s young, Blackberry-addicted, problem-solving mayor, Adrian Fenty. Now, the president has raided Mr. Fenty’s staff to name a youthful, Indian-born techno-whiz as his first federal chief information officer.
The White House said Thursday that it had selected Vivek Kundra, 34, the chief technology officer for the District, to the federal position, where he will be expected to oversee a push to expand uses of cutting-edge technology. He will have wide powers over federal technology spending, over information sharing between agencies, over greater public access to government information and over questions of security and privacy.
But he will also – as Mr. Obama mentioned twice in the space of a six-line comment distributed by the White House – look for ways to “lower the cost of government operations” through technology.
Mr. Kundra’s background seems to suit him well for both aspects of the job. Born in India, he lived in Tanzania until the age of 11, when he moved to the Maryland suburb of Gaithersburg. One of his first memories there, according to a profile last month in The Washington Post, was of seeing a dog-food commercial on television. “I was shocked,” he said. “I was used to seeing people starve in Africa. It was mind-boggling to me that people could afford to feed their dogs!”
He appears to bring a similar tight-fisted mentality to his oversight of technology in 86 District agencies.
In just 19 months with the District, Mr. Kundra has moved to post city contracts on YouTube and to make Twitter use common in his office and others. He hopes to allow drivers to pay parking tickets or renew their driver’s licenses on Facebook.

What tools am I using now?
This probably needs more thought over the course of the next couple of days, but right now I am into Twitter, Blogger (using blogger 1.0 widget for my text posts) and Google Docs for all my teaching!
About me
I am an African living in Oxfordshire. A son, a father, a husband and friend trying to piece together what my God is saying to me in a foreign country. I have learnt a lot and am still learning. Thanks to all my friends for their support and advice. I still love good coffee and popcorn.
