Too much time

I can't believe it's been nearly a year! I was hoping to pick up where I left off and complete my 23 things. I am a regular LibraryThinger and Facebook user now. But there's more I need to learn....

i'm still here

Just to let anyone know, I'm still working on this! I'm using LibraryThing, Flickr, del.ico.us and rollyo all the time. I love this stuff! Applications for school.... I'm still trying to figure that out. I,m trying to learn our new web-based library software and it's SO frustrating! I fear I've made a grand mistake, but, like I said I'm working on it. Today was the first day of school, and I feel swamped. Here's a photo of a tourist at King's Cross station.

week 6-#13

This is a photo of a visiting author at my library two years ago. Just practicing with photos.

Got myself a del.icio.us account. I'm really into this tagging idea and have been spending lots of time tagging and organizing my photos on flickr. I really hope to use the camera and photos a lot this year. My library software program is going web based so I forsee many opportunities to show books and kids in action!

Again, wandering around del.icio.us, there is SO much to discover and learn. Not to mention my list of user names and passwords which growing exponentionally. I haven't spent much time lately checking other peoples blogs which when I do is extremely interesting and comforting.

I'm off to London for two weeks for a cousins wedding, so I'll be a bit behind. I'd hoped to finish before the start of school, but with new software to learn, books to catalog and furniture to be rearranged, it's not likely. But finish I will!

week 5 #12 again

I love the idea of Rollyo. I'm finding it a bit time consuming (I say that too much) but see a possible future working with teachers to set up themed searches. I'm really enjoying learning about all this stuff! Makes me feel a bit ahead of the game (for a while anyway)

I tried over and over and over to link my LibraryThing to my blog, when a light went on! It must be my browser (Safari). So I downloaded Firefox and it worked brilliantly, just as it was supposed to! Yay!! I'll never use Safari again.

I'm using Library thing to keep track of books I've read both personally and for work.

pheww, but i still can't....

So it the middle of my rant, my Safari up and quit! When I came back, all was where it should have been, but I still can't figure out how to add a LibraryThing link. I guess I'll wait til I'm at work on a PC.

AARGHH!!

I was trying to post the very cool little link to a random selection of books from my Library Thing. It was and is not clear to me how to do so. This is the point at which I begin to hate and despise new technology! to rail at my lack of understanding of it and why it isn't explained in terms I can understand!! So somehow my avatar picture, my profiele, and my previous post links have disappeared and it says' books', but what i expected to be there isn't there. it may have something to do with me using a mac, I honestly don't know. But the worst thing is I don't know where to go for help! I need a human!!!!

week 5 -#11

I've only been to one of the short list sites, but I was there on LibraryThing for AGES! Really fun. I've added 4 whole books to my library and posted a review of one. Put way too many tags on the books. I checked out some groups like the YA group, and a chilren's lit group. I hope I've added a friend in Nova Scotia! I'm not sure about applications in my school setting (215 kids K-8). Most everything I've looked at seems to fit more with 4th and up I think. I'd love suggestions from you who have found things that work!
