Going Mobile

I have a new mobile and now the fun begins with trying to link things without the virus' invading me!
I'm techno savy but still learning on phones.....

Happy New Year - 2008

Well where has the time gone.......Happy New Year.....and Chinese New Year!

The Year Of The Rat
1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996
People born in the Year of the Rat are noted for their charm and attraction for the opposite sex. They work hard to achieve their goals, acquire possessions, and are likely to be perfectionists. They are basically thrifty with money. Rat people are easily angered and love to gossip. Their ambitions are big, and they are usually very successful. They are most compatible with people born in the years of the Dragon, Monkey, and Ox.

The local community has been out with their crackers and NY dragon.
I don't know where the year has gone a month over and all I've done is move my daughter Leah to Sydney. Tidy the house. And get reference books for Kate's RSST assignment. Rolling on though I am planning my next adventure....but more about that later.

Merry Christmas to one and all

The End of the year and 2.0

Well, the silly season is upon us and the books are coming in thick and fast, don't know why the shops can't except our books and as for that soap 'the Librarian's' how many of you have cleaned up "things" out of your book chutes since that has been on air. We should have a class action against the ABC!
The reference area is vacant, the graffiti cleaned up, Santa is about to arrive but wait we have the Summer read and the Summer holiday program and if all doesn't interest you,you can still use the internet.................Happy holidays

#23 Final Learning 2.0

I quite enjoyed running through this exercise although time was a factor needed to get things done at home rather than in the office. I did learn a few new websites and few new tricks, some useful some not. In general I think everyone should have a go at this exercise, one to learn what a blog is and then the fun things available.
Thank you Learning 2.0

#22 Ebooks

I love Audio books in general so you are talking to the converted........you do need to love the reader though. I once had a series of books and by the time I got to the third book the library had bought an audio book published by a different company so that meant a change of reader so after about 20 cassettes I then had a "different character voice" I can see that ebooks would be very useful to children who don't read but who love their Ipods! Courier drivers! & Outback travellers..

#21 Podcasting

I find the abc.net.au is a useful site in general for most things new in the land of 2.0. They seem to be on top of technology and what the public want. They also have a lot more money to spend or employ someone fulltime on this venture!
Of course there is also video podcasting and their page is also great.
I can see this as useful for the web page as an instructional tool...

#20 Every Mum's You Tube

I feel every Mum worker should have access to You tube for stress release!

#19 Web 2.0 awards

I like the usefulness (or not) of the cocktail builder! Great for using up the little bits of alcohol in the cupboard. (if one was bored) Wouldn't be too good for the teenages......goodness knows what they could mix up!

#18 Online productivity

I'm a lover of Google products.....so Zoho doesn't get my vote. I can see the benefits of using this if you are away from your home computer, or you don't want to buy the software.
