Comments: Please, Please, Please comment. Feedback is one of the main reasons I am here. I want the feedback.

News Fast:  I've been on a news fast for over 10 years.  No news is good news.  So I get a lot of good news.

What's in a Name? sleve  I almost always wear long sleeve shirts, unbuttoned cuffs, usually button down collar. When seeking out a unique handle for some communities years ago, sleve was most often available (spelled wrong, I know). I would like to be more straight forward with my real name, but I am concerned about my business clients. Seems I always want to be known, but have usually had what seemed like compelling reasons to hide. Hope to resolve that someday.  Oh, and meta means about.  A metaquestion is a question about a question.

Hobbies: Community Theater acting, playing guitar, writing songs. Take lots of walks.

Until recently, I was a big movie buff.  I love movies, but rarely want to see a movie more than once or twice.  The movies listed below are those I have watched many times.  Recently, I've also stopped watching TV and only see a few movies a year.

Mystic:  I grew up Catholic, but became a Jesus person in high school.  Later after trying lots of churches, grew tired of all churches and became more mystical.  Working through A Course in Miracles, with delight.  Now I think of my life as prayer.

Why I am here:  I like to teach or learn, to serve or be gifted.  I don't always need a teacher to learn.  How might I serve you?

Jobs I have done in recent (20) years:  Holistic Healer (rapid emotional healing), Computer consultant/tech, Life Coach, Corporate Trainer (Management Consultant). 

Computer Stuff:  I built some computers, and installed Linux on some, and even ran a Linux User group.  Languages I studied:  BASIC, Fortran, HTML, JavaScript, C, Bash, Perl, PHP, XML, CSS.  I'm best in perl, but not great in any of them.  I've installed: WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and a few other cms/blogs.  My artistic sense is not good, and while I understand enough CSS to get me in trouble, I can rarely get the effect I want. 
LOOKING FOR:  someone to coach me through the process of modifying templates in Drupal and/or Joomla.
