Try again with shared doc.

Background for today:
I had been a taxi driver, driving my husband back and forth to the hospital, medical centre as he has been diagnosed with a kidney stone. Pain apparently is excruciating for him as he kept on mubbling that he had never had such pain before. I therefore need to stay at home again to see if the taxi service is required if his pain gets worse. Hence the thing 8-10 is done at home

Goodness me! Another Friday, this week I think I spent at least TEN hours.
1. Getting the 'shared doc' to work properly
a. Internet explorer at home has got no problem in pasting a spreadsheet
b. No firefox at home, successfully download it from the Internet
c. Re-do the shared doc again this time to insert a spreadsheet, compare
Relatives Contacts and old version

2. As with blogging, I notice that the spanner is not shown at all today and instead I found that I can click on the B icon and then select Posts for editing. Also, the option of dashboard only appears if you click on 'new post' in the first instance

3. As for PBwiki, this is a waste of time, almost one hour still could not get the pbwiki set up, keep on saying that I have to re-create the link again. Numerous emails sent to my inbox with all different links but not working. But i have been inspired that i would use it (as it is password protected) to fulfill one of my dream plan of having all of the relatives contacts (addresses, telephone and email) all included this would catch up with a few relatives that i have lost contact with. Hopefully i can also uploaded their photos together.

4. Move onto to have a look of social bookmarking, by doing a search on library2.0, the following results shows and make me realise that tagging is like a container of websites which is more meaninful and useful and less time consuming

i think i need to quite, my neck is hurting and my shoulder start to get very strain and tired. The photo shows the setting where i work at home.

one thing it starts to crop into my mind is the differences between the use of blog and wiki, would password protected be the main difference??

Google Doc

It appears that my niece, Frances can sucessfully open my shared doc and also put an amendement onto it. The above pic was taken when Frances was about 2-3 years old. Will post one of her more current one soon.

As for the shared document of reltive address, when i opened up again, I found that the whole document had gone and google doc has the following info. posted:

The bad news is that Google Docs has just encountered an error.
The good news is that you've helped us find a bug, which we are now looking into.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you
Sorry, and thanks for your help!
- The Google Docs Team
(report #BqkCjkF2G/ZRUl5J)

I just hope that the doc is still there otherwise it would mean Frances has to do it again!

Also, I found the most useful tab on shared doc and that is revision and if you lose the current doc you can at least recover the previous version.

Life is not getting any easier

This is hell, I spent lots of time to get the google document to work but it just doesn't give me the option of having a 'new' document until i asked Kathryn and realised it would be better to use Firefox. This would be something which is impt to be shared around. Another hour of mucking around to add the doc in. I simply want to add a pic but that took forever so i gave up. I thought to add a spreadsheet but it did not allow me as I need to use 7.1 firefox apparently our viewer is a bit outdated. Anyhow i shared the doc with my niece for the contact address of relatives, see if that works, but two hours spent altogether.
This is my shared google doc
It is a bit annoying that the wiki is always logged and cannot enter my progress! I have been complaining all the times, is there anything a bit more positive to cheer myself up.
yes off to home as i finish my ref desk duty on tuesday evening time: 9:16pm

Another discovery

Jenny asked me to add the ref desk blog but for start off, unsuccessful. but later on i realised if i refresh the browser, it works, hurray!

Another week

I found that there are far too many email addresses which i need to remember, I am now going to list them all in one place to make my life easier

23 things
Gmail, from there click on reader to access Google reader
My blog
Wiki
Ref desk blog

I finished listening and watching the web 2.ppt and I need to call a quit as i was supposed to be resting at home due to an accident happened to me at work yesterday. i walked straight into a glass panel instead of opening the door and walk through.
I had a look of the shared google document, too hard, need to rest. Also uploading a pic at home took forever.
time stamp on blog is american time, not sure how it can be adjusted!
A pic of Marina with Uncle Fu after we had a busy long day at the Disneyland. I think she was super tired at that stage ! A bit like me now!
