The last post!! Get out the bugle and the tissues.Well, this is it, my last EVER entry in a blog or as I named it way back at the beginning GLOB!!What has my brief encounter with Library 2.0 taught me??? Well, a whole range of strange words and phrases: Glob (my own name for this project) blog, blogger, blogging, lifelong learner/ing, technorati, syndic8, topix, feedster, RSS, netvibes, flickr,

29 August 2007Windows live messenger and skype, & TechnoratiMSNLater ..... VERY much later, I have now 'done' the MSN thing. No comment.And even later again ... Skype, skype, skype - no comment!!! I have installed it but the test call didn't happen, they didn't want to talk to me, or replay my test message. I can't see myself using this, I am self contained, I have no desire to peer into another

Friday 10 August 2007. (Mum's 86th birthday today!)In answer to the final thing ... the 23rd thing: None really. It hasn't affected me at all. No, I am not easily surprised. We could have had more feedback and interaction from the programme leader? as to how we were going with the programme - whether we were 'going' at all or just going through the motions.As for all this modern technology ...

Podcast stuff.Yo! I haven't given up yet!!! Today I investigated and listened to a few podcasts, then added the RSS feed of one of them to my netvibes. Again I selected music, a cello piece.I also investigated a few sites with free audio content.Anything out there useful?? Well who can tell, one man's treasure is another man's trash. The music was helpful to me in keeping me sane on a Friday

Week 9 : Podcasts, Video & Downloadable Audio Ahhhh, music, the best thing from 23 things. It makes my heart sing (or should that be sting?). Sting : When we dance. See a separate post to see and listen to the video. I selected this video to insert into my blog because I like Sting's voice and pretty much all of his songs. This song in particular is a favourite, and a little haunting.I wonder

Weel 8 part 3 ... ToolsWe were asked to "explore any site from the Web 2.0 awards list, play with it and write a blog post about your findings."Well, I explored several sites from the awards list, I played (?) with them and am now writing a blog about it ... Too much info (or miss-info). Too many clicks. Too much wasted time waiting for pages to load, just to find you need to click again and

Week 8 continued: Online productivity.I began to investigate Zoho Writer and before long ... O O O Oh N NO O O O OOoooooo (Shouted in v e r y - s l o w - m o t i o n) as I slide my office chair back and in one slow slick movement heave the PC across the library and out the window!!!!), ABL & ABP ... yep another bloody login & another bloody password!!!

Week 8 : Wikis, online applications and tools.I have looked at several examples of library wikis - and there was nothing wiki about it, it was quite time consuming. Mmmm, I'm not sure about wikis. I feel that with anyone able to edit the information in a wiki, it is not constant, or reliable, it is simply the opinion of whoever edited it last. ... to be continued ...

Week 7 : Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati.Having given up on week 6, I will attempt week 7. Easier said than done. I tried to view the 12 minute Del.icio.us tutorial and it caused my computer to crash ... not a good start. Never fear, I shall perservere.Later ... much later. I have viewed the tutorial and whadayaknow? You guessed it, another user name, another password. And now it is time to go

Week 6 : Instant messaging and skype.Here we go again ... another installation, another registration ... therefore another email address, another password, another icon on the desktop. As the Windows live messenger site states itself - Blah blah blah.http://get.live.com/messenger/addyahoo3Week 5 was play week, well I don't want to play anymore!!! Tune in tomorrow incase I have changed my mind ...

Week 5 : Playweek part 2 : Librarything.I may be a librarian but I am not so anal as to want to catalogue my personal book collection, but for the purpose of this excercise I have added 10 of the books I have recently read and thoroughly enjoyed. Here is my catalogue link. http://www.librarything.com/catalog/m.manning

Week 5 ... Play week - Online image generator. I played and found Mr Picassohead so created a couple of self portraits in the style of Picasso BUT where have the images gone???? I emailed them to myself and am yet to receive them to fing out how to get the images into my blog. SO I have the link here which may or may not work. Otherwise search on the Mr P site for mam and the labels below will be

Week three - RSS feeds and netvibe accounts accounted for, albeit a tad late. I can't say I am enjoying this yet. It is meant to be fun isn't it???? It is very time consuming when 'one' doesn't know what 'one' is doing. Never fear, I will perservere
