Pot Luck #57 Texting

I am still learning about texting. I just started a couple of months ago. So this training was very helpful. I did not know that there were websites that I could use to send text for free and websites where I can decipher the text message that my nieces and nephews send me. I think that texting and driving at the same time is very dangerous. Driving, walking, exercise requires all of your attention. You could get seriously hurt or seriously hurt someone else. Is it worth it?

I never used the "s" drive before. I saved a file to the "s" drive and then deleted it. It was not that hard. I have never saved files in the "p" drive but I do use files on that drive. On the "z" drive I organized the favorites folder and move some of the files to a flash drive. It is nice to have everything cleaned up, nice and neat and organized.

After reading GTD, I realized I am not as organized as I would like to be. I have started using the 5 phases of the workflow process and it has helped me get better organized at work and at home. I now realized just how much more I can get done when you are better organized.
I have used the google calendar for some time now and have discovered Remember the Milk. I like the fact that I can add RTM to my google calendar.

Spring Cleaning #29

I have used this for the past couple of weeks with my work email and it has helped me get thing organized and cleaned out. I had over 500 emails and now I have everything in folders and organize my email daily. That is a good thing!

Week 10 #23

We finally made it! It was a very interesting experience. I have explored and learned quiet a few things that I would not have done on my own. I really enjoyed the Library Thing and the photo editing sites. Most of these exercises that we did have helped me organize and minimize my time on the computer. Thanks for this learning experience.

Week 9 #22

I tried our hcpl ebranch and also the LibriVox and the Wowio. I liked ours-hcpl- better. I tried a few of my favorite authors like Stephen King and Janet Evanovich and Sandra Hill and only our ebranch had books by these authors. I had no luck with LibriVox and Wowio.

Week 9 #21

I checked out the podcast. I did find a few interesting things. On podcast.net I did find a few on genealogy that interest me and added to my feeds on bloglines.

Week 9 # 20

This is the first time checking out any of the video sites. I like the pets best. To me these video sites is like watching TV, which I don't like to do very much, so I'm really not into these sites. I think that a short video on our website could be useful to help promote some of our programs that we have at the library.

This is fun!

Week 8 # 19

Zoho writer was easy to use. I do not use MW very often but zoho seems just as easy to use. I like the idea that you can get to your doc's from any computer.

Week 8 #18

Til a few days ago I have never gone to any of the social networking sites. I did go to http://www.dogster.com/ and created an account for my dog. Now we have lots of new friends from all over the world.

Week 7 #17

I can remember growing up without computers, calculators, cell phones, video games, etc. I am just so amazed of all the advances the electronic world has made in just the last 20 years. I just cannot image what the next 20 years will bring. I think these items have greatly enriched most of our lives. But for a few people these "electronic toys" have become an obsession. Not to fear. There is help for everyone out there--free help to learn how to use these new "electronic toys" and free help for those who cannot kick their obsession of their "electronic toys".

Week 7 #16

I had no idea what a wiki was til today. I added my blog and a favorite movie. I think a wiki would be a good tool to use with our ongoing programs and one time programs. Having the people who attend post comments about the program. Maybe it would encourge more people to attend our programs.

Week 6 #15

Wow! So much information! Change is good, it helps us grow.

Week 5 #12

I really like the calander they send with the due dates. I know that we get get reminders from horizon. But it is nice to have a backup.

week 4 # 9

I did not find any icons on my favorite sites to subscribe to the feeds. I did like syndic8 of all the ones that I tried.
