The social networking possibilities are, well it seems to me, endless. After looking at ZohoWriter and seeing that it's a whole new forum for creating slides, documents, movies...you name it. I had a go at creating a slide - much like PowerPoint - of all the things that are precious to me..ohhh, I hear you say!!
ZohoWriter is also another way of interacting with other people and I wish I had the time to use it, but I think I'll stick to my Facebook and Google accounts, but it's been an interesting exercise.

Week 6

I've had a good look at Delicious - read some good blogs about people's travel experiences and could almost taste some recipes! Recently I had a go at 'skyping' a friend which was amazing. I tried adding a Google gadget to my blog but like the unattractive travel agent on Little Britain says: "The computer says...no" so that was disappointing. At least I can say I tried!

Wiki'd out!

Wiki's are all the rage and great to see so much information out there waiting to be looked at, added to, edited etc etc. A really positive aspect is that you don't have to be an 'IT' expert to contribute to a Wiki, it's available to and for the 'ordinary' person like myself! I did learn that Wiki is a Hawaiian phrase - pity we can't claim it as a Maori one - sounds like it belongs to us! Lets claim it!

Flicking around

After having a good look around Flickr at all the awesome images - there are so many to choose from - I decided to upload this one of some Irish dancers. I used the Manukaulearn username and password to gain access to Flickr and that was easy enough. I like it when things work! I looked at tags and joined a group. What did I learn? You can upload photos from your camera or phone onto Flickr and edit them etc. Quite a neat tool and one I may use in the future.

Week four - but wait there's more...

I've joined Librarything - joined up to a couple of lists but am yet to add my books to a list - hopefully I'll find some time to do that this week.

Week three

http://www.generatorland.com/generators/nun_generator_gl.php#

Well that was interesting - I made my way through the generator blog and tried a few on the way. Now I am insulted - the cartoon character I am most like is Homer Simpson (the character I most dislike), my lifelong partner looked like Meatloaf, and the sport I would suit most is golf - wrong, all wrong. But, being the good Catholic girl I am (not), I decided to find out my Nun's name - Sister Eloise Craprag. Now, when I was at school - St Anne's in Manurewa, we had some Nun's who would have fitted that description... except they looked meaner than Sister Eloise... so, if you want to find out your Nun's name, have a go and let me know what yours is. The link is above - that's heaven's above!!

Phew - week two!

WELL, luckily for me, we were having a re-vamp in our area (new desks, but that's another story), and I got to spend a bit of time doing my challenges - (brings back memories of being at Brownies & Girl Guides and earning badges!!) anyway, after a bit of tooing and froing I think I managed to subscribe to some RSS feeds which hopefully will appear on my blog! It really has opened up a whole new world and there are sooo many RSS's to subscribe to, you name it - it's there. Below you will see my URL - I only managed to get this with a lot of help from some kind un-named persons!

Profile

Yeah, thats me! I use Facebook to keep in touch with friends and rellies but this is different - it's so hard to think about something to say about oneself! But hey, it's a good learning curve for this baby-boomer and I'm looking forward to the weeks ahead.
