A Retired Academic, I Use Ubuntu

Welcome to My Website!!

Introduction

mypic

This is the 'Front Page' of my website. I hope you like my website. I just thought that I should have a website.It is designed to be a retired academic's website. It is primarily an exercise in learning CSS3, HTML5 and PHP. It also serves to keep my CV somewhere. Having started, the first question was, what should I include in the website. The navigation bar shows the menu.

My Diabetes

med

In the year 2000 at the age of 50 I was diagnosed as Type II Diabetes.These pages describe how I manage my Type 2 Diabetes. I have detailed my own experience of Diabetes and my medication. The charts detail my blood pressure readings and blood glucose readings.

Linux

ubuntu

These pages describe my migration to Open Source computing and adoption of the Linux Desktop. I hope to describe why and how I migrated from Microsoft to Open Source Linux. I also hope to describe the various Linux Desk-tops I experimented with and why I prefer Ubuntu. I have also installed Virtual Box on my Ubuntu Desktop. This allows me to try out various Linux Desktop flavours.

Web Design

book

This page is a record of how this website was designed. I also hope to write blogs on various topics, including Linux and Ubuntu and also other things such as holidays in UK and abroad. If I wish to encourage discussion on anything I write about, I guess I will have to have a comments page and a contact page; that will be some time in future. After all this is only a hobby and I have all the time in the world because I only work part-time.

My Video

video

This page has video clips in HTML5. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer, the web browser on Microsoft windows does not support HTML5. You will need to download Firefox or Google Chrome to play the video clips.

Welcome

This link will take you to my weblog. It was created by including wordpress as a subfolder in this site. If you wish to know how it was done, click on the blog link on the right side-bar.

Finally, I visited several sites to get the CSS3, HTML5 and column layout right, especially the sidebar on the right. I am grateful to all those kind souls who are so willing to part with their knowledge. The template used for this website is a modification of the template "Cowboyup" downloaded from Free HTML5 Templates for which I am especially thankful.
