Just a quick note...

In regards to preparing the cd for our assessment, i would like to take this opportunity to have a lil tanty (as Rowan would put it). *Having my tanty NOW*

In combination with my iWeb files and google docs of all of these very interesting entries i was just told that i need to also include all of my del.ici.ous links and Flicker images. to this news, i totally freaked out!!! how on earth was i going to copy 120 something link? and why when i have already provided the link to my del.ici.ous?? so after a dummy spit i actually found that this was quiet easy and took all of 30sec by simply choosing the backup/export option in del.ici.ous to export all of my bookmarks at the click of a button YEY :)

as for Flicker, there is no backup option. i did find a 3rd party that had a free download to backup all ur Flicker images but it does not seem to work which leaves me a lil puzzeled.... why is there no way of backing everything up directly from Flicker? this seems like a very basic function that most if not all users would benefit from. im very reluctant to go through each and every images and saving them onto the cd. i already spent the time uploading them to Flicker and see no point in going back and downloading them back onto my computer... i think ill try calling Damian prior to the assessment to confirm that providing him with a link to my Flicker is sufficient (and it just makes sense this way).

Anyways im off to bed. Sweet dreams to all my peeps :)

MPI104 Wrap UP

I have to say that i really enjoy this class. I love being able to have an online presence where i can showcase my work and share it with my family and friends back in Sydney so easily.

The first half of the semester was jam packed where we were introduced to a bunch of sites and tools i have never used and now dont know how i ever managed without them. For more details check out my previous POST and read more about all the MPI goodness.

iWeb and myCSU webspace

This side of the holidays for MPI104 has rocked! We got right into it to build our very own websites using iWeb where they now live on our athene accounts. I have previously designed a site using iWeb for my business back in Sydney which never saw the light of day. This time around i managed to build and upload my site for all to see :) Yey for me! Check it out HERE .

When i started this site i was using iLife 08 which didnt allow me to add snippets to my site. After purchasing iLife 09 and a bit of trouble updating the operating system on my mac i was finished. You can read all about my troubles HERE

I customized the entire site (i didnt want to use any templates) and have links to my Vimeo, Flicker, this blog, del.ici.ous and even Facebook which makes this myCSU webspace a one-stop-shop for my entire online existence and only a click away for my family and friends. I will continue to add to this site during my studies here at CSU until Damian teaches us how to build bigger and beta web pages which will eventually replace this one.

RSS - my new addiction

This was something i have always known of but never wanted to use... until now! When i first moved to wagga i had to deal with the sad fact that i would no longer be able to listen to Kyle and Jackie O antics on 2day FM and then Damian introduced me to RSS and now i get daily podcast of the show!!! this is a very exciting development and im sure only the beginning of my RSS encounter.

I probably should mention technorati but i wont! U can read my previous rants HERE and HERE .

So now that we r done with MPI104 we can chill and enjoy our well earned holiday :)

Cheers peeps

Technorati.... blah!

So im still battling this horrible monster that is technorati. Quite frankly im not a fan and would be shocked to come across anyone who is. This is not something i will continue to use beyond the minimum requirements for this assessment.

I have attempted to add all the MPI104 blogs as my favorites but was only able to add a small no (im guessing this is due to everyone else not being able to win this battle either). So here is a link to my favorites

Technorati.... blah blah blah!!!!

Revision, revision, revision.....

ok so today we revised everything we need for the assessment next week. for some reason i totally freak out cos nothing was working right for me, but in the end i think i have covered everything. i still need to tackle the Technorati monster so hopeful i have better lack then previously (ill keep u peeps posted with yet another blog entry with the results).

i have updated myCSU webspace and u guys can check it out HERE

thats all folks......
