Where to start?

I'm a somewhat normal sort of bloke, though over to the nerd side of the normal spectrum. I have a wife and three children, photo's of whom I'll probably post soon. I am at present at home on a Sickness Benefit as my wife has BorderlinePersonality Disorder, and thus needs a fair bit of help looking after our darling children. I would like to become some kind of web-geek, so I can make some money from home, but as yet I'm only a proto-geek, as HTML doesn't count as a programming language, and I'm just learning Python.
I'm a military sci/fi and fantasy fan, and thus lurk at Baen's Bar a lot, making occasional posts and irritating my favourite author, John Ringo.
My world view tends towards the likes of P.J. O'Rourke, C.S.Lewis, John Ringo, and Tom Kratman. Eric Flint is another of my favourite authors, but lives in a different part of the political spectrum.
