A blog (short for Web Log) is a way of posting writings, thoughts or just plain inane ramblings to the web in a easy manner. It's easier to keep updated and as my site has proven troublesome to keep updated, I've employed a blog here to help keep things current.

Some of these "posts" may not be explicitly Christian - that is they may not be Bible studies :o) but all of them are written from my perspective as a Christian. It is , after all, part of what makes me... well, me.

Note that the blog pages are subject to a different licence to the rest of the site - see the bottom of the page for details.

from website to blog to magazine!

I've mentioned both my affection for free software and Free Software Magazine before. Well now I can link the two as I have had two articles published in the latest issue (15) of FSM.

The first is a beginners guide to understanding free software which does exactly what it says on the tin (I hope).
The second is a review of GRAMPS which is a free software licenced genealogical application.

If you are interested in free software or just want to know what the fuss is about I recommend the first one. The second will be of interest if - like myself and many - you are interested in family trees and the like.

Cheers C.
