I'm now on Facebook

Well I did it and signed up for facebook. It took me a while to sign up and I have to look up more of my friends and register them but I finally have hit the 21st century. I can't wait to upload pictures of family and friends on there. It will be challenging at first to get used to it as I don't find it very user friendly. The next challenge will be finding my brothers and co-workers and checking out their links. I did not fill out the contact page as I don't want that much information on the net about me. It still felt weird about putting so much information about yourself on the net and not knowing who is reading about your life. Definately not interested in meeting anyone or making new friends. Thanks for the safety tips, it's very good advice.

Bye for now

Hello Wikis

Well on to test drive no 3 and we are looking at wikis. Have had a look at Slq library 2.0: Emerging Media and New Technology Wiki and I looked at last years report and looked at Ann's contributional thread. I added one of my own. I found this wiki very user friendly and was comfortable with the outlook.

The second wiki site was Wookieepedia, which I enjoyed looking at a different language. I am a Star Wars fan and enjoyed the movie but this was way over the average fans head. If felt as though it was a different time and language. I did enjoy the link to the Lego Star Wars site as my husband and daughter are big fans of the lego range of games for Wii. My husband and I are thinking of getting this game as he is finished the Lego Indiana Jones saga. Of course he is buying it for his daughter, right!!!! She is nearly 5 years of age and never heard of Star Wars. I enjoyed the part where the focus on one character and I learnt what her roll in the saga was and how she fit in the original storyline even though I hadn't heard of her before. It was interesting and I will share the link for the Lego game with my husband, Andrew.

The third wiki I looked at was Possible Next Generation Catalogs, which was interesting as I could search library catalogs on them. This was surprising as I did not expect to search library catologues on a wiki. There were a lot to choose from on the home page maybe a bit too much of a choice. It is a very broad subject to put on a wiki.

Thats all for now of Wikis

Back again

Well I'm back home and giving this another go from home computer. Understanding a bit more of how this all works. So it's up to Wiki's. Off to search some, how exciting!!!! Obviously have no life.

Finally.........

Well I finally put a picture on the blog. Found out from Clare (who sits next to me) what I was doing wrong. I must 'save the picture as'.......... not just 'copy'. So I'm still learning and now have to go back and delete the numerous pictures of Brighton I was trying to get on my blog. Only 2 days left to complete wonder if I will finish. Will give it a good go.

Bye for now

My Lifestyle

Why did I choose this picture? This is my suburb, Brighton. This is where I take my children for a walk along the water. The view is stunning and it's a very friendly place to walk. The kids sometimes take their bikes. I love the easy lifestyle and going down for fish and chips at dusk. Recently we went further down to Shorncliffe and went for a walk along the pier. There were lost of fisherman trying to catch prawns and bait. They all took time to show the kids what they caught and I thought how lucky we are to live here.

I'm in hell

When I tried to do part 2 at home it would not download flicka on my computer. I needed something to allow me to see a film and my computer would not allow me to download the program. So Here I am back at work trying for the 2nd part. Clare my buddy next to me reminded me I have only 2 weeks to complete this course. AHHHHH!!!!
Have finished my short small business course so can really concentrate on this one. Well I'm at work and going to give Flicka a go.
