Thing #8

Well, it has been a bit tricky, but, I've now learned about RSS & newsreaders. Funny thing is, i already subscribe to some & didn't even have a clue that they were called that.
My personal favorite is 'Unshelved'. I find myself, each week, reading the comic strip and nodding my head and laughing, cause everything they draw is so true!! It's great to have that kind of comic relief in the middle of 'one of those days'.
I've also discovered the 'Quotes of the Day'. It's not very useful, but is good & has some real good quotes.
Also 'Aboutdogs.info' blog. It's good to read other blogs where people seem to be just as crazy about their dogs as i am about mine!
I'm still not too sure how useful this could be in a library environment..but I'll think about it some more & may come up with something!!

Thing #7-

Okay, so in this blog thingy, we've been asked to write about something technology related that interests us. NOW, there is a story behind this, so here it goes -

SO, my shire had not sent me my annual Recycling & Green Waste timetable for this recent year. To be honest, i think they did send it but my husband threw it out thinking it was junk mail (I accused him of it and he got very defensive!! - Don't worry, I'm on to him!!) ANYWAY, for the past few months we have just been guessing which bins must go out on certain weeks...this is easily done by spying on the neighbours putting out their bins!! I finally got sick of it, but not wanting to go to the shire, I was able to log on to the Internet and download a copy (why did i not think of that months ago - who knows??) I LOVE TECHNOLOGY. I didn't have to wait in line and be ignored by bored & angry shire staff. My lunch break was saved!!!! YAY!!! Another win for technology. It's very frustrating when it doesn't work for you, but when it does - Wow. Nothing more needs to be said.

Thing #5 & 6 -

Well, today I've spent time on Flikr and have created my very own 'custom name badge', it's very good. BUT, I then went to post it & was given the following message - 'Unable to upload image'

For all those waiting to see my fabulous 'custom name badge' I'm afraid you'll have to keep waiting until this problem has been sorted (I fear it may be user related) In the mean time, i will add some other photo..........

* Here is a picture I found on Flickr. This little fella reminds me of my own puppy (well, he's almost 14 years old - but in my eyes, he's still my puppy) Except, mine is HEAPS fatter, lots more hairy and his eyes boggle more!! But, i think they're so cute!!!
