Week 7

This week had a look at Google Docs. I guess because the nature of my job, I can't see me using this feature very often.

Google Book search. What a handy resource. So many options to purchase or find an item in a library. This is like the ultimate catalogue. Very interesting.

Week 7

Google Maps. Again, already use this....I have no sense of direction so like this better than actually following the old melways..

Week 6

My Space and Facebook. This was an easy one....already had them, afterall I do have teenage kids. Found a few old school friends on Facebook. Like this one!!

Week 5

RSS Feeds - Found this very interesting. Signed up for latest travel info, you all know you want to just fly away somewhere warm and sunny. Found it time efficient to have them directly contact me with 'specials' instead of waiting for newsletters like everyone else. Will explore this further.

Week 4 (cont)

Another weekend has come and gone. On Saturday I participated in a very interesting 'social experiment' commonly known as the School Reunion! Anyone who has been involved in one of these knows what I mean! Ours was a 30 year get-together and was quite challenging. I felt that, as an adult, you very rarely find yourself in a room (150+) of middle (!) aged people with absolutely nothing in common. I found myself needing to draw on communication skills that are perhaps not interest based be it work, friends etc. There is usually a common thread. As adults, we can usually 'hold our own' in situations that involve initiating a conversation, that's a given, but how often do we really find ourselves in situations other than chit chat? It was an interesting evening and proves that nothing changes much. Any thoughts on this....?

Just a quick note on Library Thing. Interesting site. I am constantly surprised that so many people can read the same novel and get so many different opinions from the same book!

Well, back to work for me! Have a good week and I look forward to hearing what other people have been upto this week. Cheers!

Week 4

Hi All,

I have been away for a couple of days at a volleyball tournament with girl wonder. She was competing in vic schools cup and joy o' joy came home with a silver medal! Talk about living through your kids, honestly, I really must get myself a hobby!! Maybe this is it.....very sad I hear you say. Its just a quick note today as it is VERY late 2.42 in the morn and I will be very ugly if I don't get some beauty sleep. Cheers for now.
