OK, I messed up already--I wrote a few paragraphs and clicked on the Help link without first posting or saving. All of those great thoughts gone! I basically talked about how I had gone from using Lotus 123 to just add columns of numbers to doing amazing things with it, and graduating to working as a programmer for a few years. I read somewhere that Radio Userland is "the Lotus 123 for the web," so I'm interested to explore it and see where it takes me.
I had used Blogger before, but not as a blog proper. I needed a place to post some notes from a workshop I had attended, and it seemed the easiest thing to do. It's at http://www.tlandini.blogspot.com .
So there: a first post and a link that works! Looking forward to exploring more.
