Week 10 Browser Tools

  • running a little behind just getting title in as a start
  • just installed "colourful tabs" - beautiful - I mean, how did I live without these, seriously I can see my tabs much better now
  • could live without message re malicious users and privacy violations though
  • am placing my trust, privacy etc. in RULA2.0 guides

RULA 8 Google Applications continued

  • don't know if anyone else can see it but shared and asked for collaboration on document I made called Live music Toronto a list of two inexpensive/interesting music things to do this weekend
  • invited people to add their own too
  • chose 14 emails from work list to share with including leader
  • not sure how everyone knows I did this - do they get an email?
  • would work well in Library for collaborating AND getting word out on a project, event at the same time - while allowing for people to invite in and share more widely - very neat

Week 9 and counting Social Networks - Facebook

  • bit worried about new facebook account - was feeling paranoid and lied about my age, sex, year when I graduated from High School and my first name
  • could be in for public embarassment since I used my real surname which is kind of, well, unique
  • ???? - why when my profile is so incredibly wrong, when I searched for friends from that High School, did I get a result for a woman my age who graduated the year I did and who, well, I'm sorry to say it, used to have a really big mouth (in High School) - I guess she might have changed but from the looks of her picture it's not likely - is it possible that she could report all over the facebook world that Lies Weijs made a facebook account as a male named Rufus Weijs who graduated in the '90s instead of the '70's - hope not - would not ever attend High School reunion
  • went back to privacy setting - ticked that only my friends can see anything AND don't have any friends [yet] so will that do the trick?
  • next step: invite 2 sons to be my friend - fat chance!
  • declined by both kids - claim that they have nothing to hide but their friends do! right ok well to heck with them I have two new friends so thanks Kraigen and Denise - children think it's very hilarious that I only have 2 facebook friends - I told them it's all about quality

HELP !

I am livid - I published a post earlier today and now it's gone - did anyone see it - any witnesses whatsoever??? Did anyone take it???? THis is what happened - I went in just now to edit and when I pressed save/publish I got this error message bX-c1muu5 and it said search this error on group blah blah and I did getting 00 hits so then I went back to look at my blog and the entire entry for Week 8 Google Docs is gone - not there - oh I see a light coloured message saying "Draft autosaved at 4:39 PM" maybe it isn't gone let's see - but how do I check this - well I'll publish this post now and then look for the missing entry bye

Week 8 Google Applications and Mousewatch

  • have rescued week 8 entry - found in drafts - it wasn't easy
  • enjoyed week off RULA (am writing like ______ British woman Name? to save time)
  • now want Sony e-reader like RU President has - been uninterested 'til now
  • want to make clear (Donna) that I bowl much better in real life than I did on wii sport
  • made new igoogle page and saved it but now very afraid to make it my new homepage because won't I lose Ryerson and all stuff tabs etc. on my real or present homepage or will it merge sort of ? don't think I can handle more than one home page at present
  • doc sharing for the library - my group leader shared with me a fascinating colour coded spreadsheet of theses received and to be catalogued - I hope she doesn't want me to tick off how many (few) I've completed so far!?! - I'll be sharing something interesting with her soon
  • have shared a message with myself via email - next step share with leader
  • Kelly D. and I could have used doc-sharing app last week to compile RUn-amok team etc. rather than grappling with all of those emails OR would a wiki be better for that? don't have handle on differences between doc sharing and wiki quite yet

Mousewatch - not sure about anyone else down here on one but I'm starting to get laissez faire -letting stuff pile up on my desk etc. - risky behaviour
