wikis are useful

Not much to say here. I like them, they are useful, especially to libraries, hopefully I will get around to using them more. I didn't put my blogname on the wiki as it is too long and I don't really like it. I didn't realise that when I made it up so I just put something in the favourites column. Anyway, I enjoyed this one to a degree too as I can see it's use and potential.

Library Thing

i have just checked out library thing and for the bibliophiles who haunt our aisles I will be recommending it. I liked it a lot. I had trouble inserting a picture for my profile which is odd but it didn't save in My Pictures like it should have and just wouldn't open properly from there. Apart from that i think it is great and I will attempt to use it in my future reading life. Currently i ahve a notebook where I write down titles that look interesting. I could just add them to library thing and tag them as to be read. I was a little shy on adding a comment to books that I have read and liked but there are probably groups you can go to for those kinds of phobias!

Cloudy computations with CharlieBean the magic dog:)

I have just about completed the Cloud 9 module. I think for the first time I can say I generally got what it was about, plodded through the worklist and didn't hate it! There was a little tricky thing about getting the document onto the blog from Google but luckily I was sitting next to Rebecca and it was instantly easy! I even managed to put a reminder in for myself to turn up to my next concert:) I'm looking forward to that one although it will be quite difficult. Anyway I am about to explore library thing. Might even be useful:)

Enemy of all right-wing fascists

If you google cultural relativism, apart form the first entry which is wikipedia, the rest of the hits on the first page are written by biased one-size-fits-all mostly christians and lawyers - 2 of the most intractable groups of nuisances ever to walk this planet...

Home alone

Well, to be honest gadgets and widgets are things I don;t think I ever will use. It's for people who have an e-life or computer personality or online persona... any of the above or a mixture of all of them ending up with something not quite as good as the original...sorry Mighty boosh line again I'm afraid. My brother (who has just left for Africa!) and I used to always make these crap jokes that everyone else in our family would give us odd loooks about. And my sister who was staying has just started out on her big OE thing and is off to Melbourne before she heads to Europe. So it is back to just me and Charlie Bean now so I have been hanging out with him and going to jazz festival gigs and doing my MIS assignments so as for widgets and gadgets...no big loss!
