Hello everyone, it's that time again. Get comfortable and we'll
go exploring. I had a lot of fun with this issue because I touched
on quite a few topics that are interesting to me personally while
finding a very good variety of things which I hope you'll enjoy as
well.
Thanks to those of you who posted feedback and comments
following my last issue. Even though the following words are
a part of every issue, I really mean them; your input is always
welcome. I value your suggestions and comments, and I'm
always willing to help you find answers to your computer and
Internet questions.

I had a bad moment today when I found that the snipurl
site I use for shortening long URLs is offline but I hadn't
shortened too many links and, even though I'd deleted
the original links, my excellent link descriptions (wut, me
brag?) enabled me to quickly find them again, with
google, and create a new short link at notlong.com.
Between taking care of my mother, working full time and
planning our wedding, Lisa and I have very little spare time
but we both love gardening and growing things so we've
built ourselves a container garden. I'm going to ask her
to take a photo of the Habanero pepper plant I've been
growing in the kitchen all winter so I can post it on my
site (and give you a link in the next issue). She's named
it "Carmen" and we both talk to her (yes, the plant), and
encourage her, every day. I don't know why, I can't eat
the peppers, they're just too hot but I grow them in
memory of Joe Bighorse who was a wonderful friend
and reader. Joe used to chop his Habaneros up, soak
them in Vodka for a few days, and strain off the Vodka
into little bottles that were like Louisiana Hot Sauce on
Steroids (man that was good). I think I'll try making
some of my own "Joe Bighorse Sauce" this year.
Carmen (Habanero) is loaded with beautiful fruit and it
would break my heart to see it go unused.
I'll keep you posted on our container gardening adventure
as the growing season matures.
May you all enjoy the best of love and luck. See you
next time.

The most important people on the Internet, for you and I as computer
users, are software developers. The world's coolest computer, without
software, is like a car without fuel. It might look great, but what
can it do? It doesn't matter who produces the software you love and
use regularly, the developers of that software need your support.
A bit of advice from Internet veteran Bayard J. Fox:
New computer users are often in awe of the things you can get without
cost on the Internet. There can be hidden costs for the unwary. Use a
"throw away" email address to register, and be constantly on guard
against giving away personal information. Use a firewall, and provide
only the barest minimum of information on questionnaires.
