Thing 4

OK, I admit I'm on Facebook, but not very active.  All I can think of is those nasty things people used to write on the inside of the bathroom stalls in middle school, and that they are no longer limited to a bathroom door.  What kind of cautions should we be practicing?  Once it's out there it's forever!  A bit scary to me.

Some pictures

I uploaded a few pictures of my recent crafts into Flikr.  Maybe that will add some variety to the project--since I no longer work in a library.  I did have a little struggle with organizing them, but am still working on it --it's only the beginning for me.
With the nice weather come lots more activities--gardening, golfing...so less time for computer work.  And my network connection is still giving me fits.  I can connect to my wireless network just fine, but I keep getting bumped off.  I've gotten a new router, no help.  Guess I'll have to get used to it, but it definitely cramps my style.

Week three already!?

I realize that it's going to take a lot longer than one week to get up to speed with RSS, but I did set up an iGoogle page and had fun adding things to it until it is really busy.  It is fun and I like having everything together in one placed--weather, time, date, blogs, rss...
Onward and upward to the picture class.

Got it

Progress is slow, but it is progress.  I got my blog on my iGoogle page.  First in the wrong place, then where I wanted it.

Computers!

I'm having an issue with my wireless connection/network.  I use a wireless connection on my home network.  Lately I can't seem to keep it logged in. I'll connect just fine then in a few minutes or an hour or so, I get a error about no connection.  This is extremely frustrating!!! I even bought a new router thinking that would help--it didn't.  I'm ready to throw the computer out the window.

Lesson 2:RSS

I'm finidng this challenging.  I am playing with iGoogle and having fun, but haven't yet assimilated the results.  And I haven't figured out how to access my blog from iGoogle.  Am I missing something?

Home again, home again

After a great trip we're home.  Still waiting for spring...

After lugging a ton of books back and forth from vacation, I have a question for everyone (or maybe better, anyone reading this blog): Does anyone have a NookColor?  I'm looking at an e-reader and so far my pick is the NookColor, but I'm not sure if I'll really like it.  Will I miss the tactile sensation of ink on paper?  Will I be able to read it OK?  Can I borrow books from libraries?  What formats are available?

Any thoughts are welcome.

Last day

Today we played golf even though it was in the 40's.  Then a winery tour and wine tasting.  Tonight music.

Tomorrow home.
