Discovering the new? Exercise 6

I am working on my exercises in a slightly backwards way which is not unusual for me as linear is for linear people! Here is exercise 6 I guess.

Well it is Olympics games this week again and I lament the speed of the internet with watching the Live feed from TV One! Just turn the TV on I say!

I have been impressed however at the speed that the New Zealand Herald gets the latest stories up and at least it offers some analysis, unlike TV One on the Web!

I like Flickr's goal of sharing and creating a real community but I still need something to explain the Adobe Photoshop software that I seem to struggle with! Oh well nothing like learning by doing.

And a Ps on blogs! Who wants to read your blog except you!

Rss and Blogging again

Some sites are just a bit weird, didn't like technorati and and Topix.net was obviously far too newsworthy for my search on dog taining blogs. Oh well onward and upward...

7.2 RSS Feeds

Am searching for feeds that might interest me. A bit of Hollywood gossip never goes astray! Created my Bloglines account easily and see it as a useful "Management tool". Otherwise keeping track of what I don't like.....

I really like getting the Radio New Zealand Headlines. Written like professionals. Yay. At least that has a point otherwise alot of feeds look like spam spam spam....

Really you would need an awful lot of time to keep up with them all!

Catching up with the Programme

On a dial up connection today and discovering that not all will be equal in the future struggles to stay technologically capable.......in other words tearing my hair out while I wait for pages to load! Am two weeks behind with the programme due to a hardware issue that involved fingers, hope to catch up!

Mysterious Dog!

And Oh so Artistic too!

I like this disguise

Found uploading images quite easy with Blogger!

Flickr in a hurry....

Flickr looks great but I need to spend more time browsing. Certainly a treasure trove for voyeaurs....http://www.flickr.com/photos/arrangingmatches/60987946/ Or if you haven't had a holiday overseas in a long time. Great I guess so that Auntie Betty and Uncle Stan can see your wedding pictures without inviting them to the event.....

Will be adding my own photos soon because I like to show my own work!

Notes on How to use a Library Self Check

Emma (8) describes how to use the Self Check at her local library! Well schooled of course by moi!

"When you want to take a book out you place the card on the red light on the bar code and then put the book on it until it makes a thud then you take the book and card out then a recipe comes out"

Sorted!

Finding my Way

Well I am finding my way as I go and enjoying edit functions so I can go back and fix my typos. Watch this blog for photos...should be easy to do that..............but maybe that is what Flickr is for, I am getting ahead of myself............

Mass Librarians online

Well here it is, my comments about the best ways to Blog. With mass librarians online, already in front of me, this Blog should be called the one that time forgot.

I will be making my postings covering world events, local events and life in the suburbs and life in the suburban library teaching search skills......and life as a Luddite at home (or the technologically undernourished).
