Searching Sensation

Having read through the information provided I can safely say that as a patron I am capable of doing the search, if not always capable of vocalizing it.  Primarily, this is because I do not give up when looking for something.  I may take a hiatus for a few hours to get a clearer head, but I am stubborn when I have to be.  Working in the staff section of computer programs is not an option for me at the moment, since I do not work in a library yet.  That knowledge will come later.  I do volunteer, but none of my work is computer related.

I'm still working on the tech tools project.  I don't trust what I've done.  I'm not comfortable with powerpoint, which is actually why I chose the project.  I was hoping to become more familiar with the technology.  In some ways that was a mistake as it has become more of a headache than a help.  It didn't help that I was out for the count in the earlier part of the week with a flulike bug.  Fortunately healed from that, but it has definitely set me back as far as getting things done this week.  Live learn and plan better I suppose.  Zap

I'm reusing an image and it still didn't work grr, but the reason I'm using the bolt again is because I'd like to be able to zap all the searches and homework and such and give everyone a stressfree week.  Cheesy maybe, but still true.
I must admit that I have been lousy about adding things to my delicious account.  I didn't bookmark before and still don't.  As I've said, for those who use bookmarks that's a great system.  For me, I haven't found it helpful.  That's redundant maybe, but it's still true.

My two sites have both had articles (to be posted tomorrow).  With so much information posted it's hard to choose what to focus on.  I've been reading blogs when I get a chance throughout the week and I applaud my classmates in their efforts.  Good luck to all.

Stormy week (named later)

This week's learning focused on networks and such.  Studying for the quiz did not bode well.  I looked at the pictures and then when I tried to match things up it really did not work very well.  I acknowledge having some spatial difficulties, which adds to the stress of taking a quiz like this one.  Pictures with that many small things is very much not helpful for me.  I appologize for the vagueness and for those who need it I will explain what I can (but please not over the blog).

It didn't look like much had changed with regard to my two websites.

My project is coming along swimmingly and not so swimmingly.  I have plenty of ideas and have some ways to get them onto paper (or powerpoint as the case may be), but because I know so little about powerpoint presentations getting it done is going slower than expected.  I come from an era of notebook and paper for notes.  I'm still surprised when professors use powerpoints  for their lectures.

This week's assignment was challenging, but enjoyable.  I've found myself working on it throughout the week and it's been sitting in drafts for a few days as I've polished it (so don't worry about it saying 10 February and no one saw it).  I must admit that I am much less comfortable posting videos unlike other classmates.  I've been impressed by those who have been able to put videos in the blog.  I had initially decided to use a water picture again.  Maybe it's redundant and people will roll their eyes and that's all right.  I was looking for some peace and oceans are so relaxing.  During this installment I'm listening to songs from musicals.  It's so interesting to hear different renditions of the same song.  As I was looking at the pictures, however I changed my mind.  Hopefully you will enjoy.  I decided on a person more as a representation of change to culture and while I could have picked any number of people in this, the person below is perhaps more recognizable to people now.  I've seen him in a variety of things including what he is perhaps    most famous for and I must say I have enjoyed him as an actor.

Anyone trying to look at my rss page please realize that it is still a work in progress as is all of this class.  I figured out how to get it into the public sphere, but not completely how to get things from the private sphere to the public sphere.

This has been a real work in progress and  I must admit I am not entirely sure how successful this will be.    I posted the video separately since I wasn't sure how to add it to the picture.  Also this is from You tube.  It was posted by licasamadau77 .  I went with youtube since I wasn't finding anything I liked that were just sounds.  Some of them were simply just too obvious and others just didn't fit.

To quote this captain, "Make it so."

RSS and other matters

The picture above shows what I would much rather be doing right now.  My RSS feed is http://dashboard.bloglines.com/Karlanalyn.  At the moment it isn't a public site since I can't find the button that says make this public. The frequently asked questions claims it's in an obvious place but I'm missing it.  That said, I have had the opportunity to go exploring on the site and have found it intriguing.  I don't know if I'll use it after this class is over, to be perfectly frank, but I can see the value of it.  There are so many options out there that it seems it would be better to pick one and move on.

Technology is forever changing, hence the point of this class. Seriously though I found this week's reading to be enlightening.  It helps to know the basics.  If one does not have a foundation there is no way to improve.

In regard to my two sites.  One of the articles on library thing I found was a challenge to read 75 books in 2012.  Tempting as this is with homework and such I am not sure it's very practical right now.  At webjunction the top story was about cloud computing.
