Goals etc

My goal is to gain some familiarity with the technologies and what they are about. I don't want to spend too much time on it or become an expert. I'm likely to dip in and out.

Obstacles include:
time - I could set it aside in my calendar but would more than likely just fit it in when there is a lull.
impatience - take a deep breath or come back later when I'm in a more suitable frame of mind.
confusion - try again more slowly, read more carefully or if I really get stuck, ask one of the listed people.

Toolbox
computer - yup
digital camera - yup

Suddenly I'm in

Cataplexis (sometimes with a 'k') comes from Greek and means stupefaction. The Concise Oxford defines cataplexy as 'sudden temporary paralysis due to fright.'

Sounds about right to me. I'd feel happier following the advice of my favourite quotation.
'Drawing on my fine command of the language I said nothing.' (Robert Charles Benchley)

I've learnt that the Google tools are fine if you just have a go. Just keep clicking and finally you will get to do what you want. The hard bit is remembering how you got there and how to do it again.
