week9 thing23

Firstly I wanted to thank you for this grogramme and for your kind assistance. You guided me so well through this challenge and thanks to your efforts even I have a clue what all the kids are doing out there in the big wide web. Even if it's only a glimpse.
I learned quite a bit I would say, blogging seems to be my second nature and there are so many more things I know now about, some of which I haven't had the faintest idea that they existed. If someone is mentioning flickr now or youTube, you know, thanks to you guys, I'm the absolute expert. And there must be quite a few accounts out there in my name now. I might even impress my daughter.
I thought it was quite a challenge to do this programme in this time frame, especially since I never ever take some 'work' home. But it seems I made it to the end and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you again.

I liked that exercise a lot better than the last one. I managed to open another account and had a look around Netlibrary. It was all very well. I found a few titles I added to my favourites and I managed to find my way round that site. I was especially impressed with the German option of the site. Althoug i couldn't spot any German ebooks. Never mind. That was a very nice exercise and I edged my way closer to the end if I hopefully get another credit here.
Also it has to be said that I would very much prefer real books, the old-fashioned sort made of paper to ebooks. But that wasn't part of exercise. And I'm glad it was only optional to go to amazon, because amzon wouldn't be my most favourite website. I blame them partly for the decline of good old-fashioned book shops all over the place I like so much. But that is an alltogether different topic.

Podcasts were probably the thing I felt for some reason most uncomfortable with. It wasn't a fun exercise for me. I had a look at Podcast.net, Podcastalley.com and Yahoo Podcast and where ever I went I had problems to find something I could look at without any installation demands. So i hope I managed to get the Yahoo rss feed to my bloglines account. Others than that this exercise left me a bit frustrated. I hope i still get a tick, because otherwise I have to go back there and get even more frustrated and we don't want that, do we?

1. I've heard so much about youTube and then I was finally and thanks to this programme finally there, I was kinda disappointed. That should be the world famous website everything is talking about and there - nearly everybody has a video, famous or not so famous. The first I've heard about you tube was when this press conference has happened and an italian soccer coach explained a few things in not so good german what everybody said that was very funny. After finally seeing it I have to say it wasn't that funny at all. My guess is, that youTube is full of that sort of stuff.
2. I had a look at the library dominos and the moment they do that downstairs at special collection I'm in. On the other hand wouldn't it be more usefully to read the books and play with real dominos instead? Just a thought. What I thought was much funnier are the pet videos. There is some real cute stuff out there.
3. I managed to place a video on my blog and it has to said youTube made it very easy and straight forward. And of course I joined youTube and this was a very straightforward process as well.
4. And finally. Actually I lack a bit of phantasy and creativity to imagine what youTube can do to our website. Perhaps pet video of the day. But please not Conan the librarian.

week 8 thing 19

1. That was a real fun thing. I'm not quite sure it was the right thing to do, but I just couldn't resist. I had to look at the games. So many free games to play. I played one or two games. Really I could easily have spent the whole day there and doing this exercise. It's amazing that there is so much free stuff out there. So games2web was my winner of these sites. Even if I couldn't spot a sudoku game.
2. Is playing around still enough to get a genius?

week8 thing18

I have been to zoho and created an account and had a look around and created two documents and then I managed to publish one of these documents on my very own blog. I thought that was a stroke of genius. I was really impressed by myself, but perhaps it was only because the programme was so straight forward that even I could manage. Never mind. Sorry for that document being written in German. I just got carried away and writing in German is still so much easier.

But I got the impression everything was very slow on zoho. I'm not quite sure whether i could cope this that, and besides that every computer has a software or perhaps only the ones I use. But there are now two more documents on the world wide web and I'm sure it can cope with that.
