Welcome to Ackadia

Introduction

Run by a (retired) computer expert, Ackadia is a family friendly site offering help and articles on web design, computers, general interest, education, RPGs and PC games. Started in 1998, it’s been here for well over 20 years, and in another 20 years, Ackadia should still be around for you!

There’s a saying I’ve always liked: If you don’t ask, you don’t get.

I’m here to help if you need it, whether it’s asking me to get a move on restoring a section I’ve removed, giving you balanced advice on tech matters or anything else I cover here (or point you in the right direction if I can’t), or dropping a line or reply via comments, Facebook or the contact page.

If you are interested in having a website reviewed, designed and or managed, you can explore this site or hop over to the daughter site, ackadia.co.uk for more information.

Changes, November 2025:

I’ve added language translations. Took a minute with all the under the hood tinkering but it should autodetect your language based on your browser setting and serve the appropriate pages. You can, of course, changed to any other on the list. Any problems, do please let me know!

I am also experimenting with Google ads again, though, even set to the minimum, it still seems overkill to me. Back in the day you manually added the code and fine tuned pages. The new AI driven method is more of a sawn-off shotgun approach! Unless I’m missing something six ads in the minimum! Smiley says, Whatever

I don’t need the revenue, but it would allow me to add extras that will enhance the site and possibly encourage me to write more often. However, if it’s too much, too ugly, to crass, or slows the pages down, please let me know and I’ll rip them out again.
