Welcome to robwillis.info! This site is a bit of a playground for me, initially I just wanted to mess around with a few web servers. Now it has turned into a little more of course as I have an addiction to all things computers and electronics. On this site you will find a few articles on some of the projects I'm working on, solutions to problems I have run into, or just plain randomness. Being a car enthusiast, you can also find pages/projects on my 2002 Camaro and 2007 Trailblazer SS.

Link: OpenOffice.org One of the first things I hear people complain about after just purchasing a new Windows PC, is the fact that it didn’t come with Microsoft Office. Then you tell them how much that costs, haha. This is why I thought it would be useful to talk about OpenOffice.org. Open Office is a [...]
