Shreelal Makaju Shrestha is 67 years old and one of the reputed businessman of Dhulikhel, Kavre, Nepal. He owns his own rice mills on Dhulikhel and his family business extends from Dhulikhel to Kathmandu and Sikkim. He had already visited almost 80% cities of India and 60% cities of Nepal. He started his business when he was on 13. He started with Timber measurement business on Sikkim. He completed his education only up to fourth standard but he showed us his extraordinary skills about Mathematices.
He has keen interest on Computers. He wants to learn computers in order to simplify his accounting system of his business. Till now, he use ledger books to keep record of his business transactions. And, he came to know on his business circle that Computers could make his accounting easy. So, this was his major encouraging factor to learn computers.
He has two computers at his home. But, his sons and grandsons do not allow him to use them and said that they could not allow him to use it since he is computer illiterate, he may delete their useful files unknowingly. This answer pinches him a lot. It is also a reason he wants to learn computer and show them that he can also use computers.
So, he went to the Community Training Center to learn computers and returned back after finding out that he needs to have sound knowledge of English Language to use computers. He knows little more about English but do not have enough proficiency to interact with windows messages and computer settings on English. He did not leave his hope and started to query about learning and using computers on Nepali Language. Then, Dhulikhel Telecenter informed him about the Windows in Nepali, and this information cheered him up.
I got him when we were making a documentary related to Windows Localization Project.

Notice anything funny in this pic? This is my twin brother that I shot for one of my assignments in a class!
Laurel using her new KidzMouse at my computer (it's since gone to being used almost exclusively on Robert's computer so I can use my computer while she's playing games). It's greatly reduced her frustration when playing a variety of age-appropriate games; her favorites are I Spy Junior and Disney preschool titles.
Old-style Sun keyboard. You probably would've never guessed there's still more to the left part of the keyboard that you can't see. Yes, Sun-built computers that had the Sun OS on them used these keyboards containing 10 extra keys.

He's part of the generation of computer users, and a big help to me, keeping up with the latest developments.
The first computer I ever used.
The monitor, disk drives, and main unit are all rescued from public schools.
If pressed at the top left corner, e.g. with a c-clamp, the normal image appears. If released, the white frame appears first, then fills the complete display with a random scary pattern. It sure is posessed.
The computery kind.
I was taking shots for the science blog of a waste computer that I'm trying hack into a wall lamp (don't ask), and while this wasn't what I was going for I thought I'd share it here.

There's always more to a desk than the computer that's sitting on it. (Contains many notes; for those of you seeing this image via solecist.net, you'll need to visit the original on flickr to see the notes.)

Day 228 of 365
So I spent most of tonight trying to get my desktop working again. When I tried to uninstall a program that was expired it caused a crash. Since then, every time Windows does an auto update it crashes and I have to go back to the last working configuration. I can't seem to get past that. Tonight I just wiped it. The problem I have now is that I can't locate the backup disks that came with the computer and Gateway hasn't been real helpful because the computer's warranty has expired.
I've gotten it back up with an older copy of Windows, but that disk isn't passing Window's verification. I may have a solution for that, but to tell you the truth I've had it with the thing tonight. At least I got the internet working for it so I've been able to download a lot of the drivers I needed. I'll play with it some more tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to get it working to my satisfaction.
The thing is four years old now, so I'm thinking that it may be time to buy a new one.
Thank god I still have the laptop!
