• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.

Gaia,
I am not a big “photo sharer” either, but these skills can be valuable and, for those who create “travelogues”, vital.
It is kinda fun to play around with.. and you don’t have to burn your “project” to disc..

Nice video. I let the hubby play with that stuff, since he won’t learn the other stuff. :)
Everyone should do one “Random act of kindness” a day. It should be made into an international law.

delenn13,
A long time ago now, an interesting guy (Edmund Burke) said, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”
While he was (probably) thinking of larger circumstances than a small “random act of kindness”, I think the principle applies.. and at the least, shows where you stand.
.. mandatory random.. love it!

…”a person stopped what they were doing to lend a hand to a stranger.” Yes Paul, it’s always nice to see someone help a person in need. A Random Act Of Kindness… “melts the heart…reminding us of our own humanity.”
The Random Act of Kindness has been a celebration in Alberta, Canada, since the 90’s… I think it is celebrated in Feb. every year. It was/is not only celebrated on the streets, with “being kind to someone” it was also celebrated in the retail stores… with signs in store windows reminding us of the importance of being kind. Some stores even offered a refreshment as you enter the store…which was a nice experience!
British Columbia, Canada…also has a Network Association, as for our other provinces, I’m not sure if they celebrate the occasion…but the ripple of kindness HAS expanded Internationally.

In Addition To My Earlier Comment On Random Acts Of Kindness:
There is cities in Ontario who celebrate the occasion.
…to my pleasant surprise there’s the Niagara Community Foundation…they celebrated the day on November 4, 2011.

Gaia,
I am not sure how I feel about that..
While on the one hand, I am “all for” reminding people they should be nice to each other (aka “the golden rule”), on the other I am pretty disgusted/disappointed that it needs to be done at all.
But I guess it does, so.. hooray? No. I mean, hooray!
