23 Things - Thing 11

For most of you who know me - I've been doing a reading journal for the last year and decided to handwrite it rather than doing it on the computer where I could also catalogue all the books I've got. Which many people have suggested doing by the way. And I've stubbornly resisted doing because I prefer to handwrite review. And now having discovered LibraryThing, I'm really glad I did. LibraryThing is a excellent (and esay!) way to list the books you own (or not as the case may be). I look foward to putting most of what I have in my library on the internet.

23 Things - Thing 10

I love online images stuff - It's so fun. I'd love to have more time to play around with things. My favourite is still the FD Toys but I really like the Generator Blog because it looks (and evaluates) a huge variety of fun stuff. I had a lot of fun making my own snowflake - see below.


You can make your own snowflake at http://www.zefrank.com/snowflake/. There was also a brain scan generator that was also pretty cool too.

Still RSS feeds - I like going to websites and look for the feed icon especially with the ones I check regularly. But I'm not as much a fan of trying to find ones that are relevant to me. This is probably because of two things. One - I'm not really into keeping up with news & current affairs stuff (and I couldn't think of anything fun that I really wanted to follow), I'm much more interested in what is happening to me at the moment. Two - I feel I might have got a little more out of things if I had a couple of hours of free time to play around with this, if fact with pretty much everything so far. I sound like a broken record saying time and time again that I don't have enough time (and not internet access at home) but I'm feeling pressured and my patience and tolerance is running a little short.

Don't mind me I'm just a little grumpy at the moment.

Ok figured it out - nothing like overlooking things.

23 Things - Thing 8

RSS Feeds is the focus of this thing, it's supposed to be one of the most difficult exercises but I think the biggest difficulty I had was to find uninterrupted time to explore and play with Bloglines. In fact that's been the most difficult thing so far. As I've mentioned before I don't have internet access at home, and at work there is limited time ( and mental resources) to get involved and interested in all of the things we are asked to do. Anyway back to RSS feeds. I like the idea of it - being able to keep up to date without having to visit masses of site etc. I have mostly book related feed on my bloglines account but that's going to change when I get around to adding my 'keep current with these authors' sites.
I was going to post the url to my bloglines but I can't seem to figure it out and I've run out of time so expect another post about this - I'm not giving up.
