About six months ago, a lot of you gave me very valuable feedback when I launched When I Have Time.com. The tagline for the blog is Tips, Info and How-Tos to Bridge the Gap between Meek and Geek – and that’s the aim – to share information in an accessible way for curious people who are continuously learning and sharing.
Today I’m here to tell you that I feel it’s been very successful so far and I’m so glad that I decided to launch it! My initial goal was to get away from answering these types of questions via email for a few people and open it up to whoever might have interest. (Email: select few; blog: needy masses)
I’m an organizer for the Girl Geek Dinners in Milan and we’re working hard on raising awareness and sharing information about technology and the internet among women in Italy, but you’d be surprised how many people who are already prolific on the Internet are afraid of words like router, copyright, DNS, server.
Many of the posts are driven by readers’ questions or conversations I have with people learning about technology. So if you have a question, make sure to let me know. I’ll try to answer as best I can. If you’re interested in sharing something through a guest post on When I Have Time, contact me with your idea!

Thanks for posting this. I am looking forward to exploring all the possibilities and learning more.
This is wonderful! I’ve booked marked it and have already read several posts. Really useful for a geek like me!
Ciao Sara! I just love your website! You have been so kind to help me out via email, and now I know to check this site before shooting off more Qs since you’ve already covered so many things I have often wondered about. I’m off to read some of those articles you linked to right now. Thanks for helping me take one step closer to geek! :-)
this is very useful! I was also suprised how many young people in general have very poor computer skills, and most of them aren’t even intersted. Seriously, how do they survive? :) Love this blog, keep up the good work!
Great post! Lately I find keeping up with technology to be a bit of a full time endeavor!
