An excellent (American) English Grammar Tutorial

University of Calgary English Grammar Tutorial

This is a really useful tutorial and reference for those of us with a less than complete formal education in the intricacies of English Grammar. Not necessarily the sort of thing one needs to know on an every day basis, but incredibly useful:

a) if you either need to check up, for example, what a Gerund is.

or

b) you are studying a foreign language with a more structured grammar and you teacher starts talking about 'the infinitive form' of a verb and you find you don't even know what that is in English let alone in Spanish (or whatever).

Technorati: What Is technorati?

Technorati: What Is technorati?

One thing about this blog business is you don't really know if anyone's reading this drivel. Then you put a counter on and realise that, intentionally or not, some one has read some of it. Then the counter starts to creep up and you realise that more poor mugs have tripped into your little bit of webspace. And its not just you coming back to check that the latest tweak to the CSS stylesheet has worked, tho that's the difference between the Bravenet counter and the Sitemeter one - sitemeter doesn't count my return visits. Anyway then you spot a referral from Technorati and wonder what's going on and you realise that some people have thousands of visitors - scary

My favourite of these interesting Spanish Sayings or Proverbs is:

¿Quién movió mi queso?
Translation: Who moved my cheese?

Now does anyone know when you'd actually use this saying? I'm guessing its not literally when someone's pinched your queso?

CD and DVD one page care guide

CD / DVD Care Guide (pdf file)

A good, quick guide for looking after your valuable backups.

Interesting to note, at the other end of the scale, ie how to deliberately destroy CDs. Have noticed that the CDs I hung up last summer as bird scarers over the vegetable plot (AOL has some uses cheers for the free disks guys) are now completely blank - the silver coating and most of the ink etc. seems to have come away leaving a transparent plastic disk. Don't know whether anyone would be able to retrieve data from these unless the burning process leaves some marks in the plastic too - but it seems a pretty good way of ensuring the data is erased :p
