The Bagel Incident

Well when I was walking the Welsh and Airdale, they spied half a bagel. They both jumped at it and I yanked them back. They immediately started to fight. A down and dirty fight like has never been seen before in my neighborhood at 5:45 a.m. Since they were on a leash I also managed to get bit. So at 5:45 a.m. I am walking in the dark down the street with two dogs attached at the heads with blood running down my legs. Isn't life with dogs great!!!!!! Maddie got the worst of it with a hole in her ear and I had a hole in my leg with bruises. Isn't life great with dogs!!!! All over an old half bagel left lying in a yard.

THING 30

This training has greatly expanded my knowledge of what is really out there and what is out there that will make library work easier and take up less time searching on the vast internet. I had never heard of Rollyo and Flickr. I used a different photo site but might use that one instead of the current one I use. I was surprised that we could actually link to RSS feeds.

If another training was offered, I would take it.

Problems: Being locked out of sites. It became very frustrating at times. You get excited about it and then you can't get in and have to reset up everything on another computer which you could not save. Many people are doing this at home because of the frustration.

Problem with getting into spreadsheet. A lot of time was wasted going back and forth to the spreadsheet and pasting in it. It was slow to come up and if it was locked, you are stuck sitting there with the link copied and you don't want to lose it.

THING 29

I have found this Web 2.0 very interesting. I have seen things I never knew about or explored further things I had a basic understanding about their uses. I found the social networking fasinating. The things that people put out there.

The things I did not enjoy was being blocked. I would try to go to web sites and could either only go so far or not get in at all. Having to do this at home or at a public computer was not what I signed up for.

While browsing thru the other bloggers sites, there were some very interesting sites. Some people were a lot more thorough than others. It shows the wide differences in the knowledge of people. I would still love to know how someone else got to own my Rollyo after I created it.

THING 28

ROLLYO was great. I created a local news search engine. It was Hampton Roads News. Somehow or other it was linked by someone else and now shows that it is owned by Michelle.

This was very easy and interesting task. I see where it would be great for reader advisory. Also great for sharing new authors, etc.

THING 26

This was a great exercise once you found one that would work. I would have really liked to have had the bird song but it would not work. I made black and white photos. I did learn that only jpg would work.

THING 25

I visited John Hopkins Library. It was the only one where I could actually get into a podcast. I found the information on JHsearch very interested. It is a search engine that can search more than one database at a time. I found the screen a little distracting and it would help to have a quiet place to listen to it without being asked questions and answering phones.

I found this link that discusses RSS feeds and podcasts.
