Hooooome woooork

Eeek I have to remember to do homework.

I

Must

Comply....

Ok anyway... I have to register an account with Flickr (faster than lightning) and upload a few pics. No hassle. Just Dont Forget Kell!!!! Dork!

Faster than Lightning.....


SKYPE - A - GO -GO & JING - A - LING

Ok so this is the second time Ive written this blog. The stoopid page stuffed up and I had to refreash and lost the lot. Bugger bum pooh!!!

Anyhoo.... JING!! Such a brilliant tool. Its used to capture video and pictures off your desktop. You can select a section of the screen and capture it, save it as a picture. Or capture a section and video it. What that does it record whats happening on the screen and also records your voice over the mic. So cool if you want to show someone how to do something, or narrate over a photo album. Heaps of uses. So cool.

Then we looked at Skype. I love this program, for obvious reasons. Ive used it before but tonight I learnt how to do a group call. Added the others from here and we all had a chat.

Then we had a discussion about alien abductions. I think they all think Im strange cos I would like to be abducted by a nice alien. As long as theres no anal probing involved. Thats where I draw the line. Naughty Aliens.

And I can't go by without wishing my gorgeous niece Ashley a happy 24th birthday. Love ya so much chickie.

Now we are about to learn Flickr. I think they all hate me. I started singing the flicker flicker faster than lightning. LA LA LA LA.... I know Im sick.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL!!!

Google it! Just a little bit......

Night two of Web Tools 2 class. Paula has worked us like slaves. LOL! Just joking.

We learned heaps tonight. Got Dropbox installed and working. So cool. I love how I can just put files onto it and access them anywhere. Even on my phone. When I go to Tassie next month I could make a folder accessible to some people to check out photos. So cool.

Then we got into Goooooooogle stuff. Google Docs to be precise. That is such a great tool. I really love the forms part of it. I could have so much fun with that (evil laugh ensues). Its great the way you can share docs with others and all work on something together.

Checked out Google Alerts too. Got an alert for my name on there. Anyone who posts something on the net (not facebook) will cause google to send me an email alerting me of it. I googled myself. I'm a newsreader in America apparently.

Plus Paula showed us the Hyperbole site. Anyone know how to pronounce it? Its a very weird site. Was a bit concerned about it at first but now I think it will be a regular check in spot.

Well the time has come (said the spider to the fly) and we must depart. Its been fun!

Catch ya's next time.

Hyperboleandahalf. Its so true.


0:  Hi.  I am not experiencing any pain at all.  I don't know why I'm even here.

1:  I am completely unsure whether I am experiencing pain or itching or maybe I just have a bad taste in my mouth.

2:  I probably just need a Band Aid.

3:  This is distressing.  I don't want this to be happening to me at all.

4:  My pain is not fucking around.

5:  Why is this happening to me??

6:  Ow.  Okay, my pain is super legit now.

7:  I see Jesus coming for me and I'm scared.   

8:  I am experiencing a disturbing amount of pain.  I might actually be dying.  Please help.

9:  I am almost definitely dying.

10:  I am actively being mauled by a bear.

11: Blood is going to explode out of my face at any moment.

Too Serious For Numbers:  You probably have ebola.  It appears that you may also be suffering from Stigmata and/or pinkeye.

This weeks homework!!

This week we have to explore Diigo and check it out more. Then we have to comment on all the others in the class in their blogs. 

But atm I think I need a nap. hehehe.

Diigo - The way to remember my fave sites.

Now we are learning all about Diigo. Weird name I know. But its cool.

Its a great way that I can keep my bookmarks and find them on any other pc. When I go to Tassie I will be able to find my faves on Nats pc. Plus I can follow people and see what sites they like.


Our first lesson

Hello and welcome to my web 2.0 tools blog.



This blog will probably boring as to some people, but too bad. Lol. I will be putting up links and stuff to help us all remember what we are learning tonight.

I am doing this course because I am a geek, but theres heaps of stuff I have no idea about. Things move ahead so fast. I did my Network Admin diploma five years ago and now I can't remember a thing about it. Whoops. But then I didn't really get it much. I dont think I could do that. I just love playing with pcs. And now there are so many tools that are so cool that will hopefully make life easier.

Working at the CCH has given me a new lease on life and I really want to do my best not only for myself, but also for them.

The others in the class are Karen, David and Fiona. And today we are learning about registering on Google, and we have also got ourselves a blog set up. I am already learning little bits and pieces even though I have been using Blogger for a while. There is so many things you can do with these tools and I really want to learn about them.

Hows that for a first post Paula. hehehe.
