is like the kitchen table, but different.

The other one is for all sorts of things, but this one is mainly for computer stuff. Of course everybody knows that both end up getting used for all kinds of stuff. And that’s OK. Just don’t blame me if you spill your dinner in your keyboard, or can’t find the computer for the piles of junk sitting around it.

Anyway this is meant to be a place to make comments or put links to computer related stuff. Put it here if you think the rest of us might find it useful, and then you might be able to find it here yourself later on when you’ve forgotten where it was.

In the columun to the right you will find a ‘Table It’ link. Add this link to your bookmarks and then use it when you are viewing a site that you want to add here. Try it. If you’re using Firefox, add it to your bookmarks toolbar. If you’re using Konqueror, add it from the menu using “Tools / Minitools / Edit Minitools”. If you’re using IE, you’re an idiot (but it should work anyway). If you’re using another browser and get it to work then post something here to say how you did it.
