In OpenOffice Tutorial #4 I show you how to create and format tables to organize your information.  Tables are great for rows and columns of information.  They're easy to sort and modify to make your information look presentable.  You can also export them to PDF for sharing online as well as web compatible HTML files to view in your web browser.

Git is a version control system written by Linus Torvalds for tracking software changes.  The word “git” doesn't mean much other than British slang for unpleasant person.  Linus Torvalds remarked, “I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First 'Linux', now 'git'”. I've known about “git” for some time now but I've never had the desire to confront it.  But most recently while watching a series of programming tutorials the instructor gave a lengthy video covering the basics of “git”.  I was tempted to skip it but I thought it would be better to watch and maintain the flow of the tutorial series.  I'm very glad I did. I downloaded the “git” installer package from https://git-scm.com/downloads and ran the executable. Since I'm somewhat of a GUI fanatic whenever possible, I thought it would be a good idea to install a front-end GUI to work with “git”.  I choose “Git Extensions” which can be downloaded from this site: ...

Recently I started a somewhat involved project that should make it much easier for me to design web pages: The last time I worked a large project it became increasingly difficult to manage all the code as the project grew. But as I’ve come to adopt classes and objects it has become much easier to implement and manage code. I’m use to writing large chunks of code consisting mainly of variables, loops and functions. I usually try to organize this code by separating different types of functions into different files: I still end up with a mess of functions. Some functions only being used once. And a mass of code I have to sift through to figure out how some variable is being used (or misused). One thing I love about objects and classes is the organization. If I have a range of variables associated to only one purpose then I can use an object related to a purpose to store specific properties for very specific functions. For example with mouse tracking I do som...
