Who, What , Where, Why, Wiki ????



The only Wiki I had heard of was Rueben... hint for those yet to discover Wiki... it's not him. So now we know what it's not, let's try to suss out what it is.
I'm not sure if I actually do understand what it is but I think that it is a website that allows everyone and anyone (no special skills needed) to be a part of developing the site by changing and/or adding information to it. Clear as mud?
I loved the Book Lovers Wiki and thought that was a good application that could be used by our library. Also I suppose a community based wiki could be successful too. But I think that any information taken from a wiki site would need to be checked as anyone could put what they like so a bit of doublehandling.
Verdict: - Undecided

How the Internet & World Wide Web changed my life for the better.


The biggest thing I like about using the internet is I no longer have to stand in queues. I don't stand in the always incredibly slow line at the bank to get my money... I do all my banking through the Internet including all my bill paying so it's goodbye to the queues at the Post Office too. I no longer stand in the checkout line either cause due to the wonders of the internet I do my grocery shopping online too and better yet it gets delivered to my door and if I time the delivery right (like for when I'm at work) I don't even have to put it away. And let the young ones stand outside day and night for concert tickets... me I order mine online. Fancy something to eat..a book to read..new clothes.. yep you guessed it, order it online.
Are you converted yet???

Trading Card

This photo was taken yesterday at our team day. One of my big problems with making these cards and things is that I don't do well when I have lots of choices, actually it's not that I don't do well, it's more than I don't do fast because I have to look at everything and I mean everything before I can make up my mind (Dither doesn't cover it). Anyway I think this turned out well in the end.

Library Thing

This was meant to be done last week but someone forgot to scroll down. Anyway I've done it now and if you look to your right you will see books that I have read in the last two weeks. All of them are highly recommended. Also to the right is the Library Thing search widget which doesn't fit very well but can still be used. Now I'm off to discover the joys of Rollyo or something.

Ok I had a go and I think I got the hang of it. I probably could have gone mad and added heaps more but they keep telling me I have to do work. Bah Humbug.
