Updated Blogs
Hi to everyone who has followed this blog and my other blogs (Living With Linux and my Development Blog) for a while. The Living With Linux blog is now redirected to the [Linux][1] category on this blog and the development blog redirected to the [Development][2] category. For a long time I’ve been meaning to consolidate the blogs into a single blog and move the main blog from Blogger to WordPress. Well, that has now happened so welcome to the new, updated blog.

<p class="diigo-description"> A visual programming tool ideal for children & adults to learn the basics. No installation needed, everything happens in the browser but unlike some similar tools, you can also see the JavaScript code that is generated if you want to. Put the parts together like a jigsaw. A nice, simple way for anyone to start to control computers. </p> <p class="diigo-tags"> <span>tags:</span> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/knightnet/development">development</a> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/knightnet/programming">programming</a> <a href="http://www.

<p class="diigo-description"> Excellent tent that I can well recommend. Packs and weighs small enough to be carried when trekking but with a larger than average amount of space both for two people and for their equipment even if wet. It also has a good height which makes it more comfortable than many lightweight tents. Suitable for all general purpose camping and trekking. Single pole so is easy to erect. </p> <p> Robert Saunders are not well known but have been making tents since the 50’s and have always been popular with cyclists.
