What's this all
about?
When I was a kid there was a
pond at the bottom of the hill at the end of our road. It was
called Turtlespond by everyone young and old. This was where
we hung out. We caught frogs, fish, snakes and turtles there. We
hunted small game in the surrounding woodland. Our mothers gathered
wild flowers and plants to bring home for their gardens. Our
fathers came down with us to ice skate in the winter.
In the summer it was quiet and
smelled of undisturbed life stretching back into time. In the
winter there was laughter, shouting and the smell was of fresh
fallen snow and wollen mittens drying over open fires.
Turtlespond is now just a
memory, erased by modern development and here on the other side
of the world I have to resort to things like fiddling around with
this website to keep me out of trouble ......well
almost.
Herein you will find a bit of
this, that and the other thing as well as some Linux and Slackware
related pages. I'll be upgrading this site after a period of
neglect. If you are returning you may not find what your looking
for but have a look anyway. I'll be adding some new stuff as
well.
Thanks for
stopping by. There's no guest book here but if you have come this
far and have a burning desire to contact me just use

......And! If
you're planning a trip to New Mexico don't miss your chance to stay
at the best Bed and Breakfast in Albuquerque, Adobe Nido. My sister
Sarah, and her husband, Rol, run the place. Sarah's blog, Albuquerque Insights, is full of interesting stuff about New Mexico.
Cheers!
