If you think all this is a mess, I would certainly agree.
After the insistence of a some fellow volunteers at RAP Ceibal, mainly Leticia Romero and Paolo Benini, whom I thank for their patience in dealing with me, I am thinking of bringing some order to my files.
They have suggested a blog a few times.
From time to time they say blog and I say website, sometimes I say website with link to a blog.
I believe that for storing information, it should be a website.
This is the result of the first five minutes invested in creating a free website for this purpose:
There is no content yet in this site.
Interesting, they mention how easy it is to find out things in a blog.
Today, search engines search almost everything we put in internet no matter where it is.
An interesting curious example:
Our son had successfully made empanadas, a typical uruguayan dish, for some of his friends.
Now he wanted to go one step further and use home made dough rather than buying it ready.
He asked Mom for her recipe and, this is how we found it and sent it to him right away:
Search using Google for "Nenny Rabassa empanada".
Select Google´s top recommendation.
Nenny, my wife and business associate, put it in internet some 12 years ago.
Nenny used to cook for our fellow real estate brokers to thank them for visiting our broker open houses.
That´s how some of her recipes ended up in internet.
