However like all TGs I am an autodidact.Just this month I spent
about a day learning Big Blue Button, a FLOSS
GoToMeeting/GoToAssist and will be rolling out this great new
service any day now. I would have trouble fitting all of the
things I have taught myself over the last five years on five
single spaced pages but I have almost nothing formal I am turned
down when I try to attend a Feast or anything of the kind.
