Update 2006.11.02
 
Well I finally got fed up with MS Office Live which I used to build my web site.  I started to use Office Live when it was in beta development and I had hoped it would improve in time.  Instead of improving it kept getting worse.  I would contact MS ( in India ) and relate my problems and would receive profuse apologies with a boiler plate answers to unasked questions.   If MS is going to transfer their programming work to India they are in trouble as a company.

Google has recently created a new service similar to Office Live which allows anyone to create their own website.  I have only been a member for two days and I am saying syanora MS.  The editing and functionality of GooglePages is so good I have completely transferred all of my Office Live site to this new site in less than 16hrs of work.  I will retain my old site for a while and use it to redirect people to my new site as the old site has considerable prominence on the web.

This site is to a great extent a vanity page documenting my various activities.  Be that as it may, my intention is to document my relationship with agriculture, art, craft and technology.  In the 1970’s there was an emphasis on “Appropriate Technology”.  I believe that a re-examination of  our relationship to technology must be an on going process and as technology advances our lives are changed.  Whether this is a change for the better or not is largely a personal choice.  I have tried in my life to walk a little lighter on the earth and use agriculture,  technology, craft, and art to enhance the quality of life for myself and those I influence.  This web site is a cross section of my various interests and how these relate to the state of constantly changing technology.
