Try and dodge them.
Oh jee. I dunno. I’ve spent a decade (yoik!) avoiding most things to do with computers. I’m brill at most bits of surfing the web. I can almost upload pics direct from the camera (except it keeps bloody breaking). I can buy and sell things and track obscurities down from the comfort of my maternity ward bed, or my sewing table or kitchen bench. I can book holidays, arrange driving tests and self diagnose for any illness.
But I can’t do my own graphics, I’m petrified of word and excel and I was really happy about that. Until I actually needed to start doing it. Its like most of high-school maths when you are an arts stream student like me. I never used to see the point in geometry and algebra. Until I started patchwork quilting.
Several times in the last month or so I have plunged into the deep dark recesses of my brain to try and pluck free ancient pieces of mathematical usefulness. To be precise, I stopped doing maths at high-school in 1995.
Luckily I have a DishPig UberGeek for these things, but a girl yearns for her spreadsheet freedom.
I’m just not sure how to get it.
