Today I missed the UFPJ March because I got talked into doing a workshop on "Using computers for garden outreach" for the Green Thumb Grow Together, the annual gathering of New York City's community gardening community.

I have been regretting saying yes for months now, but exactly four women showed up for my workshop, one brought her messed up mailing list to get it fixed (I showed her how to reset the borders in a table so that they are consistent) and all of them wanted to know how to make labels. It was a good reminder of how incredibly evil Micrsoft Office is, with all of that glossed over counter intuitive user interface, but also of what normal people want from computers.

Fun thing that I learned? Mailing labels don't work the same in Windows XP.
