Just noticed that (via the wonders of RSS feed!) ScriptyGoddess has been collecting links to some online tutorials for learning about web stuff recently. This was also one of my aims with the links in the navigation menu on the right, when viewing the Blogging Category archive, but I guess you can never be too comprehensive!?

“Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibilities.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
After I submitted this quote, I decided to find out a bit more about who this guy (yes, it’s a He by the way) was since the name was not familiar. It turned out Dietrich of German origin was quite a spiritual leader/writer in his day, and he died at the age of 39. This last fact is significant because he was hanged in a concentration camp for his role in the resistance movement to the Nazi regime at the time.
Amazing words from an amazing lady.
“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done.
We will be judged by ‘I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.’
When opportunities arise, it is up to each and every one of us to make the best of it.
“You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.”

Read (this link will be no longer active once the offending materials have been removed) this morning that a certain Chinese website PConline.com.cn has been blatantly abusing copyright by copying verbatim (well, actually, the contents had been translated into Chinese) the review materials from Digital Photography Review, a site that I often go to learn about the latest in digital cameras. While I have been guilty from time to time of using copyrighted pics of movies or book covers, this is just too much!
