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

Mouse Watch Week 6 Librarything

This will be short - bad mood - forgot to save previous entry - now typing it over again. Here's link to my librarything http://www.librarything.com/catalog/LiesW which I loved very much except that I don't have time for it. When I get really really old and have more time I might come back to Librarything to explore - check out books that others with similar entries have been reading. No, next time I'm looking for a book I'll probably search around on Librarything IF I can remember my darn pw and name.

MOUSE watch - they're gone, all of them, I guess they were just 'passing through', sort of like the birds.

Still Week 5 del.ici.ous.

I'm still not liking it - is it because I'm rushing, too busy? Confession - of the 10 thingys you asked for, I copied 9 from others - is that allowed - I went to step 4 before step 3 - can I still win a prize? Only one of the bookmarks is my own (Nathanial Dett Chorale). BTW there are way too many steps in RULA2.0 this week. Also, although I thought I'd installed bookmarklets I don't seem to be using them, because every time I add a bookmark an annoying box appears telling me I could do this better using delicious bookmarks.

I'll admit I'm a little bothered by the lack of authority control - what else would you expect from a cataloguer? When I get time I'll check out University of Pennsylvania's Penntags but until then I'm of the opinion that using social bookmarking in libraries would not be a great idea - I can't see how things would not get 'out of control' but maybe that's my problem. Also, would I still have a job?

Here's the link to my delicious page : http://delicious.com/eweijs

Week 5 of RULA d.el.ici.ou.s

My experience so far with delicious - YUK! First of all I don't use bookmarks in real books (I'm not proud of that but there it is) - so trying to use bookmarks and bookmarklets here has been horrifying - the creative craft video promised order from chaos - well I want my money back - at this point 40 minutes into the excercise I'd rather have a few .... you know what's on my desk - I do have a delicious account - I believe I also have installed (in spite of dire warnings that a malacious invasion would be risked) some kind of bookmarking tool of delicious's and some kind of tool of Mozilla's that works with delicious - BUT I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY GOT ANY WEBSITES BOOKMARKED in my delicious account and I understand I need to choose 10 that I think fellow library staff-mates should know about - never mind the technology, choosing those sites could be dicey ! At this point in the process I don't feel liberated or empowered - but I'm not giving up yet - I will consult with my leader this afternoon.
