Things 22 and 23

I don't listen to the radio that much. My hubby listens to a podcast of Pigeon Radio on tuesday nights. Drives me nuts. I did find a pod cast and put it on blogline page as an rss feeds, but probably will never use it. I did notice that I had NPR's site already in my rss feed. Is it ok not to like something we have done and know that we will probably not use it? I can see podcasts being used for training, but I perfer to see who I am listening to.

I would love to have another session of these classes to do. I am finding out there is another world out there, all via the internet. There are some things we have done that have been talked about on the news, so at least some of the things I know what they are talking about. During this class I have found out that some things on the internet I had a totally wrong impression of. I guess it is like someone saying I don't like the book, when they have never read it. Some of the things took a lot of time and I found out I was doing them at home so I would have enough time to get them done. It seems like oh no one is coming in so I'll try and get some things done, and then 3 or 4 people come in. There have been times when I have been stuck and had to wait to get an answer cause I was working after Library Comission hours. (not the NLC's fault just my schedule) But I am very glad I did the "things" as I have learned a lot. I have also had some fun with some of the things and nothing wrong with having fun while you learn.

So Thanks for every "thing"!! The library comission staff is the best!! No question was dumb and everyone encouraged me to keep working and not give up and I DID IT!!!!

There really is some neat things on it. Of course if I am looking at work I might get some strange looks or comments from people in the library. Maybe it is a good thing I am doing this one at home.

Thing #20

I am having problems with my mouse today, maybe I need to find a cat. Exploring web tools sure took a lot of time. I guess the problem was I found something interesting and didn't realize how much time I was spending just looking. I went into fun stuff and played around with hair mixer. If you are thinking about a change of hair color this is one useful site. Could save you tears after using wrong hair color. I went into a web site on real estate. Found out the white house if for sale would cost $305,890,000 monthly payments would be $1,394.192.00. Maybe a bargain for 132 rooms, 16 bedrooms, and 35 baths. I checked out my heritage, from reading other blogs. I think the genelogy site the NLC offers has more info for finding things. The oly relative I could find was my mother, no listings for any other family under the last name Riblett. So I am not impressed at all. But there is so much information on the internet I can see how some people can spend hours looking at web sites, cause I did. One thing about this class is that I can now understand the fascination with the internet, but still perfer to read a book, as it is very portable and don't need to worry about batteries going dead, or where I can find electricity, or a wi fi connection. Guess I just old fashioned.

goggle docs

Wow this is a great tool. I can load my docs that are very important and if the computer crashes, I can still find them. Not only that but several times I have needed list of phone numbers, or e-mails that I have a the library, but no where else. With google docs I can access this information from anywhere. Some of this stuff we are learning is very cool and I will probably be using in the future.
