Desktop Pub's first port of call was the Pineapple Hotel on Park road, just by the Dingle Online drop in centre.
 |
We have been visiting the pineapple hotel for a few months now and here you can see the progress of some of the regulars being interviewed in Dingle Online about their new-found computer skills.

One of the contributors is now writing poetry. Barry Bates has written pieces about
The Pineapple Hotel and also about Dingle Online. With his new found confidence, Barry has been improving his literacy skills and learning to play the guitar by downloading chord diagrams, so he can start writing his own songs.
|
Barry is hoping to have his work read out on the radio, and has recieved emails back from Radio City asking him call in personally and read his own work on the Pete Price show!

Another new visitor to Dingle Online is Stephen Flannery - who has learned word processing skills and has also written some poetry.
Read some of Stephen's work.
Steve is a talented artist too - and used our graphics pad to create
drawings straight onto the computer!
|
Steve also scanned in these photographs of friends in local pubs.

Glynn Williams contributed an article about a street party from 1957, in which his sister presented the mayoress of Liverpool with a bunch of flowers.
Read Glynn's Article.

One of the visitors to our centre brought photographs of their relatives, Hugh and Cathy Laverty. As you can see below the two pictures were quite old, and we offered to scan the picures and restore them.
They didn't have a picture of the couple together - so we showed how you can use computers to edit images.
