Hi
Folks Welcome
to Grandadsez, a website for the older surfer. My passion is in constructing websites.
In my opinion it's the ideal hobby for retired people because:-
- Once
you have a computer, as I assume you have, it's a very cheap hobby.
- It's
clean; no grubby hands
- It's
quiet; you won't annoy anyone
- It
helps you to develop artistic and writing skills
- There
are always new tricks to learn and mountains to climb
- There's
great satisfaction in seeing your own creation and maybe showing it to friends
- There's
no need to publish your website unless you want to; you can keep it on your own
hard disc.
- Publishing
your own website is only transferring it to another computer (a server) that's
connected to the Internet
- It's
a great confidence booster.
- At
the end of a session just switch off your computer; no mess to tidy away.
- And,
whisper it softly; it could make you money!
If you like the
idea of building your own website take a look at Shed18.com
It's a new website that concentrates on website building from the ground up. While
you're there subscribe to the free newsletter and get your free software; if you
try it but decide it's not for you it's easy to unsubscribe. If,
as a retired person, or you're interested in computing as a hobby activity apart
from surfing try Computing in
Retirement. If you're interested in music for children with learning difficulties
take a look at YAMSEN
If you are using one of those Amstrad PCW (personal computer, word processor)
machines, know somebody who has or have one in the attic click here for "Ron's
Amstrad PCW Page"
Otherwise
on this site find out about :- - Several
helpful organisations for when you need a little help
-
Financial considerations for the elderly.
- Spare
time activities
- Grandad's
jaundiced view on current affairs.
- Railway
track maintenance
- What's
on this site - from the site map
There
is a section on Railway Engineering that has been commented on from people all
over the world. Take
a look now The Railway section is about track maintenance of some 40 - 45
years ago but it hasn't changed much, particularly in the UK. But
there are new developments - read about them
