Web-based applications

I was able to upload the Zoho document to my blog. I guess I need to try to upload an excel file or something more complex to see how that turns out.

I'm very glad that I've gotten a chance to see some of the many things out there. I suppose if I were a world traveller always using any old computer around, the web apps would be more important to me.

They would be very valuable also for those who have access to a computer and can't afford a word processing program. Unfortunately, those are the people who probably would be the least likely to know about this. Isn't the world a strange place.

Zoho writer document

I'm very happy to discover Zoho writer.

I knew there were shared web-based word processing programs out there, but I had never tried one. What a great way to share documents -- almost like a wiki. Our office has a shortage of Microsoft Office suites for all computers and this will allow everyone to be able to do word processing without the added expense.

Of course, I always worry about security when it comes to the web...

Do ants smell?

Help!!!

Deliciously tagging

Added yet another log-in to my fat list of them. That is really the bad thing about all of this joining. Who knows what your password is, anyway? And certainly, if they know what your password is, they can probably get into everything, because who wants to make up a new one every time?

Didn't do the technorati thing. I want to remain anonymous. Can't find my blog? Good!

Del.icio.us is annoying to type, but would come in handy to have all your favorites available wherever you go. All this setting up is work!

Computers are supposed to simplify, but tend to add up to more work along with hard copy. Sometimes I don't know if it's worth it, except when I need to look up something strange and want to know in an instant. Definitely worth it then.

My library thing

I've added the little My Library Thing post to this blog. Interesting and again, sharing all with the world. I suppose others could get some ideas for good books to read by looking at many blogs. Books are one thing that should be shared.

I catalog books at work, so it doesn't really appeal to me to catalog my collection at home, somehow. I don't quite know how it would help me.

What would help would be some very large bookshelves to hold the books. Currently, the books are on a small bookshelf with the excess tottering and ready to fall at any moment.

Since I've added the five books to the list below, I'm starting to enjoy my reviews and I can actually see a purpose to all of this. You realize how much time you've spent reading and can recall and relive where you were when you read these books. It's actually a hoot and could be therapeutic.

I'm a changed woman, James Staub.

See, more than you wanted to know -- the nature of blogging.

Reading blogs

I've been directed to list some blogs that I enjoy on this brand new blog of mine. The list given as a directive consists of library blogs.

I don't generally read library blogs, but as a librarian, I suppose I should. I prefer political blogs, when I read them. I will try _free range librarian_ to get a taste of what's out there in the realm of the library blogosphere.

Well, this free-range librarian, a very clever and accomplished woman, Air Force veteran, writer, and librarian extraordinaire, seems to have built a small world of her own on the internet.

Once again, I feel pulled not to do the same myself. I feel that free-range has opened her skull up so that others may peer inside. I do not know her personally, and don't feel that reading every thought that comes into her head or event in her life will let me be her friend. The description of the installation of the cat-door was just one example of the minutia that one tells one's significant other while making dinner. No thanks!

Of course, the blog makes one feel bad for NOT living ones life on the computer, doesn't it? Aren't we all supposed to reveal ourselves here?

I'm learning how to blog and to work with Flickr.

This photo really got my attention. I've always wanted to be that person they show floating on crystal blue water with eyes closed.

I could definitely bliss out fantasizing about walking down that boardwalk to the little hut...

Just starting out...

Hello world,

I am just starting out with this blog as part of a Learning 2.0 project where I work.

Have never really wanted to publicize myself on the Web (wouldn't be prudent), but this is actually being encouraged during work time, so here I am.

I am interested in seeing how all this works.
