Online applications

Wow. But what happens when six people are trying to edit the same documnet at the same time? I like Zoho - it has everything in one spot. Who needs Microsoft eh?

Mashups

Not all that impressed with Big Huge Labs but I can see the potential. Are the images of books on the catalogue a use of mashups?

Here's a christmas card I created Merry Christmas

Slamming the boards

I know I'm picky but.....does best answer really count if it's the ONLY answer? LOL
Yahoo answer boards seems to be down a lot for maintenance, or do I just have really bad timing?

LibraryThing

Wow - free books! Not sure about the recomendations though. How does Training your labrador retriever relate to Caligraphy: first steps?

This link - hopefully :-P - is one that really moved me. I have a lovely little maltese that's the darling of everyone who meets her. The breed take a lot of grooming but I can't believe anyone with a soul could let any creature get into the condition of some of the dogs in this clip. I have nothing for respect for the people who have rescued and rehomed them.

Just added some photos to the Chermside photo gallery. Not very ellegantly though as I found it difficult to place the photos where I wanted them. Grrr. But at least they're there.

Bloglines and RSS

The challenge for this exercise was to find 5 sites I wanted to subscribe to. There is so much out there and most of it I'd be just as happy never having read. Eventually I decided on the final five. They are Powerhouse museum, Librarian.net, Publishers weekly, and my favorites - Boys blokes and books, and The shifted librarian (at last Web 2.0 I can understand).
