re-entry - my new blog

re-entry is going to be more of a personal diary blog

I am starting to blog on the new blogger beta server

Genealogy and Family History will remain here of course

photographs and walks is now where most of my videophone and handicam photos are going, and I am going to mix cameras from now on on the same blog.

The new technology seems to be more reliable and is certainly much better for newbies.

Project Blackbox: "'When everyone was racing to build the smallest rackmount servers, we asked a contrarian question: 'What is the biggest computer we could build?' We realized the answer had better not be bigger than a shipping container if we wanted to transport it easily,'

Papadopoulos explained. 'This turned into Project Blackbox, which includes unique design features to optimize efficiency and performance. Five patents are currently pending on the general system and installed rack designs, various aspects of the highly efficient cooling systems, and the environmental monitoring system. We are very exicted about it.'" [SIC]

Last night I just needed the 1861 England Census to sort out my LAPHAM in Bath and my one-name study.

I wanted the big one, World Deluxe, but have chosen Monthly U.K. Deluxe Membership and in fact if I only use it 6 months a year it becomes very affordable and only two days notice of cancellation is required - I will be also doing Danish genealogy in the archives and on line - all parish registers and census before 1892 are on line with very much of the folketælling indexed but not linked to images.
