The Thursday Threesome

We were talking about how things get done here at the Back Porch and thought we'd include everyone in the discussion: ::A geek in the family::



A geek-- Hey, who handles tech support at your place? You? ...the six year old? ...or someone from outside? ...and how about in your web space? No, we're not looking for techs; we're just curious . It's me. I'm the 'tech gal' in my home. This includes burning photo CDs, troubleshooting MS Word and Excel problems, Google searches, and updating blogs. I'm a Jill of all trades!



in the-- computer? Just a curiosity for the designer types: what Operating System are you running? ...and which browser? Since sites can show up differently in different browsers it's more than a casual question. I'm using Windows ME and run the Mozilla browser. I love tab browsing and the fact it's not as bloated. Also, IE has so many security flaws, it's frightening.



Family-- Do any family members read your place? Do they care? Do they have a clue? ...and how about your 'off line' friends? ...or do you supply a little bit of separation there? As far as I know, only one family member - besides my spouse - knows about my blogs or has shown any interest. Most are oblivious to my online exploits. I do supply separation by not discussing items of 'delicate nature'. When I share a humorous story, I'm likely to not mention names or, if I do, I use a pseudonym. Nor do I use a signature in my email directing recipients to my blog.
