I have been experimenting with Linux for some time and have tested Xandros and Ubuntu. It was interesting reading about the Linux users group in Trinidad as I know that the UWI Open Campus there has also been teaching elements of Linux. For my part, anytime you change from Windows, you end up in trouble with the majority of users, but with more exposure to the Ubuntu/Linux systems we may be able to get over that hurdle. This is definitely a way to go.

I would like to commend the webmaster and his team on this wonderful website that has emerged. This is a great testimony to the enterprise of our Caribbean peoples.

I would like to recommend the OAS Educational Portal to all my fellow Caribbean educators. http://www.educoas.org/Portal/default.aspx?culture=en. At the moment, there is a special Caribbean edition of the course in "Quality in Basic Education". This is a great opportunity to take part in what would be a wonderful educational experience. I can definitely assure you all.

Today it is hot and sunny so I hope there are no problems with the bandwidth

Recommendations for CIVIC representation at e-Government Meeting

Here's my response to Hallam's request for approval to represent our virtual community at the second Caribbean e-Government planning workshop.

Hallam said:

It's taken me months to send this... written at the end of our Juan Dolio meeting... didn't want to spoil the party and I was just happy to see and meet and spend time with everyone...

But with the eminent launch of CIVIC 2.0, and nothing stopping it, I guess it's OK to whimper a little about the past ;-)

If anything, ignore my senseless whimpering and just listen to Bob Marley's rendition of Marcus Garvey's original message to "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind" in his solo "Redemption Song" and see how you associate it with us, you, all...

Back in the 80's, an American composer and producer (I'm pretty sure it was Stu Phillips, of The Six Million Dollar Man, McCloud, Battlestar Galactica and The Amazing Spider-Man themes fame) composed the theme for
the TV series Knight Rider in the 80's.

10 years later, an unknown British Indian musician, Panjabi MC, mixed it with bhangra music and created an unprecedented underground success, in particular thanks to the still new and expanding Internet.

I wondered for a short moment whether this CIVIC new platorm invitation in my mail box on April 1 is really for real.

Let me check it out.
