Posts Tagged ‘Technology’

I have been missing in action a while, I know. I was very very busy with many many things, business trips, learning new stuffs, work (what else?!) and trying to find time to get a proper massage.

But, good news is…although I was ‘away’, I managed to get some things that are always in my list, finally done and accomplished.

I successfully get my step father to do his blog! Yeaaaayyy….

He was here and I was just returning from a digital training in the US of A (in the middle of winter, in the most windiest city in the US of A, minus 18 degree for almost the whole time I was there). My step dad always has this fascination with technology, but as predicted, being a non digital native, he is quite skeptical and i think a bit wary of the new technology.

He looked quite excited to listen to my new knowledge and I showe him my pics from the trip (beautiful views from the office, etc). I showed him my blog also (not this one…the other one) and I managed to get him excited about having his own blog.

Before his interest disappeared, I quickly set up a blog for him — in Multiply, nothing fancy yet — and he immediately started to write his first post about the upcoming Hash he was organizing. Great!

He asked a lot of questions — which is good. But I was a bit stumped when he asked about how to use features in his brand new Toshiba laptops with Windows Vista. Gosh…I don’t know how to move around in Vista as well. I think MSFT should make a good Vista 101 video (like Mac does with Leopard), which is friendly for non techies and certainly for non digital natives.

All in all…my day has been good!

PS: two weeks later, I also managed to get somebody else set his own blog.
