Hi,

Hello there,

Today is my testing day for Flickr, the photo sharing service acquired by Yahoo!.

Dear Readers,

When I came across Hewlett Packard's technology, I couldn't help it but share the amazing discovery I had online

HP Smart Web Printing enables you to print blog posts in PDF.

I am not sure it can work; this site's capabilities may be different in terms of response, but I have put something at the end of this page for trial's sake.

Enjoy it, if it does work!

Friends and Fellow citizens,

Whenever our leaders, especially in Africa, talk about enterpreneurship, I always look at Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook as a role model.

Not only has his idea inspired a whole new way of doing things; he has also changed the way our generation, especially the Y-Generation communicates.

Which would bring us to another question: Will this generation manage without advice from the older one?

The answer is: We shall do with advice from both sides!!

Cheers,

Mutimba

Fellow Readers,

This looks like lesson one in public relations. After a long battle for the vote in Pennyslvania, the Democratic party chairman, Howard Dean, says it is time one of the candidates backed out of the raceand gave some time to their colleague to go after Mr. McCain.

The link above contains comment from angry anti-Obama readers, and, like in everything else in life, the have every right to side with Mrs. Clinton. So much is going on right now against Barack Obama, my Obama, that even one of Washington's most listened-to political mind is now here with advice for Barack Obama. Should Obama learn Karl Rove's dirty campaign tricks?? Of course no!!

Karl Rove led GW Bush's campaign strategy and only left as and when Bush was becoming unpopular. Apart from saying he wanted to spend more time with his family, Mr. Rove did not have any strong points against Barack Obama.

That will take alot of persuading and some negotiating, though Mr. Dean maintains that should be in four weeks time.

Fellow Readers,

You have all had enough of the Zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe. He has mistreated his people and has made sure he clings to power by asking for a re-run in what many see was a stolen vote.

On Tuesday, April 22, just as Democrats went to the polls in Pennsyvania, there were reports that a tanker carrying arms had been turned back from South Africa's docks.

Whatever the case, Mugabe is getting desperate and will use every means available to him to cling on to power.

Another option that is difficult to exploit and explore, and this I have always told my Zimbabwean colleagues, is that of allowing Tsvangirai to give some immunity to his predecessor, though by international standards, many will consider that to be quite foolish.

World leaders and other peace-loving' people have been calling on all African'leaders to boycott the ship carrying arms. The Zambian president, Levy Patrick Mwanawasa, SC, has been outspoken in criticising the idea of importing arms into Zimbabwe.

We are yet to hear more on the latest. A re-run is definitely in no-ones'interest and quite far away from what people should consider, or are considering as an option in this crisis.

Let's hope for stability.

Fellow Readers,

Frequent users of Microsoft's products will notice there is a new facility on the MS product suite. Called SkyDrive, it allows you to store docs ranging from music files to work documents.

The good part about it all is that this does not come out encrypted: You get your document unstretched, unmessed, with all the advantages you will be looking for.

I have put a trial sheet, see it below:

Fellow Readers,

A nation addicted to the current debate and rivalry between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama is having a had time taking a break from politics.

Political Machine, an AOL site, runs an interesting debate between readers regarding what exactly is behind Mr. Cheneys smile.

Megan Mitchell, his spokewoman, clarifies by saying that the image is a reflection of the Vice President casting a rod.

For now, no one seems to listen!!

See you,

Hi friends,

I am reading an interesting post from Slate.com, with a funny and customised 'Obama' encyclopedia.

Let's see whether what I have attached works:
