Missing pieces

Everything you should know about technology, but have been missing out

So what is it about?

I have noticed that there are many things that people don't yet know about. Sharing is good and I decided to do just that. I'll post about things that seem like important part of computer culture or are useful in some other way. I guess I'll have job to do that would seem like small task, but grows as I complete it (I hope people keep asking me questions about things that I thought were obvious).

Some links might not be suitable for minors. Nothing more serious than alcohol usage and swearing so far (oh, and one black and white horror film). Of course if you let kids use Internet on their own, they might find something much more worse.

As I don't have fixed dates for releasing articles, you could try out RSS. It helps keeping up with number of blogs at once.

If you see white backgrounds in pictures, you're probably using older version of Internet Explorer than 7. If possible, please consider upgrading (Windows XP or Vista only) or just switch to Firefox, Opera or maybe some other alternative browser (as long as it supports PNG image format. The sooner legacy browsers disappear, the better.

You can always suggest new topics.

I always like to see others share computer knowledge with those who aren't really into computers. What they don't know can hurt them. Keep up the good work.

There are really no problems anymore as background is white smile

I had previously blue background, but then I changed the theme.
