Delish!

A few weeks ago, I was having trouble with facebooks and all my password problems began with this step. I couldn't download the buttons and so Ruth said to try firefox, I did and right after that my troubles began. I was confused so I skipped 6 and so now I am finishing with 6. I think the idea of this is similar to our shared drive on our computer at work, when we first started using that it made me nervous and now it is an everyday part of my life. I gotta keep playing with this new delish (do you like my new name for it?) until I feel accostumed. When the race is between a turtle and a rabbit - I am definitely the turtle!

#5 Flickr

I put some pictures up on flicker. I like looking at all the pictures. I have been using flickr some to share pictures with family. You need to check out my pictures. I guess I forgot to write things in the blog all the time. I used to think I could add pictures but thats not the case now - I AM WOMAN - hey maybe, I should write a song like that!

#3 instant messaging

I don't know why I didn't write about this before - probably because I talked and imed Ruth across from me so I guess I thought it was already talked about. I am ready for using it with the public! I don't see that I will use it much personally because I do like to talk, but I am now confident I can handle answering questions from the public, well, I guess that depends on the question, just kidding!

Utopian Library

In order to download a book I had to renew my library card. So there's progress! I gotta say one of my personal favorites of our website is Tumble Books. I love when the books come to life. I have listened to several stories and love all the graphics.
Homework helper has been a lifesaver for me more than once when Emily was asking me to hard of math questions.
I'm not a fan of downloading a book, maybe if I had an mp-3 player - but not on my computer - I'd rather read a book and I like to read on a comfy couch. Sometimes at my house it is difficult to get on to a computer - maybe we should have a sign-up like in the lab! Our home computer has a media center so my kids use it often to watch recorded shows from earlier in the week that they couldn't watch due to school work.

Google Docs

Clutter - it takes over ys and I am one of the culprits, so I asked Mandy to join me in making a google doc on ways to avoid clutter. Mandy has not added to my doc. but she will soon. Maybe these 10 things will get us into ridding our world of clutter. How would the rest of the library react, if they came in to ys and it was clutter free! We need to take this slow because we don't want to shock anyone! I can see using this as a good way to write a document with someone else.

podcasts

I am not even admitting how much time it took me to figure out podcasts. It took awhile to get it that a podcast and a video clip are different. I listened to several of Jodi Picoult's podcasts. She is one of my favorite authors so it was interesting to hear her and her views on being an author and what its like to see your work go from the page to the big screen! I aslo enjoyed listening to some great speeches from history and subscribed to them - watch out I may be getting up on my soapbox and give a speech - "give me liberty - give me death!"

Wiki

I've done the Wiki a couple of times. I even managed to enter pictures. I like pictures. I think this is kind of fun. I was trying to explain to Gary how this would be oh, so more helpful than all the telephone conferences he has. He listened. He even watched the little video clip from Common Craft. He is sticking with telephone conferences - he doesn't really accept my status as technodiva!

my personal relationship with the faceless facebook people

My Facebook account got hacked into - I guess my password was too easy and have been using some derivative of my children's names and ages for too long. Someone didn't like one of the pictures I had up. So I changed my password - then quickly forgot the changed password and changed it again and then didn't know which was which. A problem. In order to change your password, they wanted me to write my old password. Definitely a problem. I wrote to Facebook - took too long to answer - wrote again. I got an answer on the second email. All was fixed. I was back in to Facebook all was well. First email got answered the next day and once again - a problem. They reset my password again. I'm back in. No more password issues, please!

Somethings come more naturally to some then others. I feel like I learn some, move forward quickly and then fall back farther than I moved forward. I changed my password on my facebook- and that started everything downhill.

Almost a month of technology

October 27th.

I've been 2.oing for almost a month now, I haven't totally mastered it by I now have a face book account and many of my nieces and nephews and all four of my children have agreed to be my friends. I am still trying to figure out all the picture sharing but I will get it soon.

Monday, October 8th

I survived watching the Cubs playing t-ball. I'm making friends on facebook. I feel like a little kid counting out how many friends I got valentines from., the numbers are growing but you can still be my facebook friend! A lot of people have amazing number pictures on their facebook. I thought it was pretty amazing I have one picture up.

I've subscribed to google reader - it is pretty cool! I'm not sure I can get any work done when there are so many colbert reports to read and all those news stories! We may need a longer work day with all this technology.

I've joined the google feeder

I am a Techno-Diva - I started my own personal blog. Who ever heard of a blog a few months ago and now I've got my own! Way Cool! I guess sitting right across from Ruth Queen Diva of Techno of all time - I had to get some Techno skills. Just a question? Is it from Osmosis? Do I know what I am doing - ah that is two questions! I wouldn't mind having the techno skills travel across the room - I do ask a lot of questions, but I worry if Techno skills travel the room would I somehow wake up one day a Sox Fan! Oh, Woe is me! Worse than becoming a Sox fan - could I possibly turn out to be the worse - a Republican!
