I think the thrust would be different, in that I simply wanted an article, and the tutorial is intended to be a 'how-to' and in particular, 'how to work at *this* wiki'. Re experimenting with media: you *do* realise that I'm waaaay out in the country, and have to get on my bicycle and pedal a la Fred Flintstone to use electricity?  :) Tallong 21:48, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

No, I didn't realise that. Where? See if I can find you on Google Earth...

Seriously, I would like to do that. We used to live in Nemiah Valley (without electricity, unless I started the Honda generator up). See if you can find Chilko Lake in British Columbia, Canada on Google Earth (sometime when you're in town, maybe--wouldn't want to make you overcycle for that one). When you have found Chilko Lake, look east about 30 km. until you find Konni Lake, we lived from 1985 to 1988 on the SE shore of the lake (Google Earth shows the actual cabin). Coordinates are 51°28'33.33"N by 123°51'5.75"W

The co-ordinates take me to what seems to be the right part of Australia...What gorgeous country it seems to be. I cannot remember if you have any landscape photos on your user page; the picture at the top of my user page shows Chilko Lake in the distance with a friend in the foreground. I would love to be able to see Australia with my family someday. --Jrradney 03:42, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it's pretty outrageously beautiful here. If you were able to handle what looks like a very serious hike in the photo on your user page, you would be fine here. Re seeing Australia: y'all would be welcome to camp out here; I do mean 'camp out', as at present that would require a tent in a sheltered spot. A couple of years from now, we might actually have a house.

As long as the wife and kids like dogs, cats, horses and wildlife, it would be fine. It's very good for the spirit here.
