sorry about the blog gap

well at leasty no one wrote and asked if I was alright

I am in Copenhagen for a couple of months and going to be working the danish archives from the point of view of military history


http://karl-dane.blogspot.com/
shows how with just a name and a date and county of birth I was able to get a long was into the genealogy of Rasmus Karl Therkelsen Gottlieb Hollywood screen name Karl Dane

See my Danish Archives FAQ http://www.rootsweb.com/~dnkcen/FAQ/index.html
to see wee I will be LAK and RA mostlythat whole website is due for a major rebuild using this new computer, about which you may see my new blog http://mac-on-intel.blogspot.com/

I have got Dreamweaver and Photoshop to learn so you may expect great things in about a year or after I have cleared up the question of census image copyright.

I also intend to learn how to make attractive original blog templates.
I am on line with a 10mb / 10mb WAN from http://comx.dk/
and Google mail is noticeably faster.

So far I have set up a new router (the owner had plugged the WAN cable in a LAN socket but I didn't check that first) and got a Sony digital camera bought in England to download 719 snaps to a bought in Germany laptop wih WinME in german . . . . .

To deal with the heat wave I am staying in for the afternooons and drinking lots of tap water precooled in my fridge, and after Le Tour on TV with the english commentary from http://eurosport.com/ on the computer is over, I then take a siesta - or an astronaut nap (about 45 minutes asleep)

I am doing my shopping in the mornings, and by phone, and taking lots of snbaps for my picture bank. The snaps blogs are really slow on dial-up so you really need broadband for the high graphics content..

I hope to get family Tree Maker running on the Macintosh soon - there are three possibilities as to how.
Reunion was highly recommended but I found thr GUI really irritating and out of date.
