This is living!

Check out the YouTube Video and watch the beginning carefully and you will see me running up the hill to collect the Blackheart Adventure Race Leg 1 map before I sprint into the distance.

This is a test for INF215. I think this program has huge potential.  wheeliemel

Web browsers r not wowsers!

I use a web browser every day at work and at home and yet I have never given a thought as to what it is or how it does what it does . . it was just there. I took my web browser for granted basically. I made the switch a while ago to Google Chrome and we have been very happy together, Google Chrome is fast, organized, looks funky (very important!), plays well with iGoogle and I love the way it thumnails my recent browsing. However . . Firefox has heaps of add-ons that would be very useful to me . . in particular the Stumlbeupon feature. How cool . . Firefox will get to know me and then go out into cyberspace out hunt out sites and information that matches my interests! What a great little friend. So, move over Google Chrome, FireFox is making a reappearance on my home pc. Who will win my defaulted heart? Stay tuned. . .

Mashup Monday

I have spent the last hour exploring plum mad dog mean mashups! And they r mean! Very clever and cool. i loved the Portwiture but failed the test (twit that i am!) to mashit my very own portwiture to my blog. Then I discovered Gimme Shiny . . another test failed as you can see I have added something that sounds quite awful but is harmless getsatisfaction.com. To clear my name this is the help page of Gimme Shiny - a mashup of images from Flickr and deviantART. Very cool pics in a slideshow. I'll keep working on it.
IRONY: Y is it that almost every vodcast demostrating new and emerging technologies uses old technology (such as paper, pen and whiteboard!) 2 explain it's creation and application? Hmmm . . the ulttimate mashup I suppose!

Online tools and applications - sounds exciting doesn't it? well actually, when we finally had a small win with the pc's at work and could view the videos (no sound mind you!) some of the applications looked great. Like the Geogreetings - love that! And I like GoogleDocs - very easy to use and share. I am playing with circ rosters in GoogleDocs at the moment to see if this will make viewing, sharing and editing rosters faster and maybe even fun (ok - it's all going to my head now!).
