Another week - bit boring

I started to catch up as much as I can

Thing 17 & 18
Just join the twitter and did the tweet for the day. It is out of the day range and I don't find it that very useful.

Thing 19
Decided to give up second life completely as I did not attend any workshop. Would love to have an ipod but have to buy it myself as I am not eligible for the draw for not completing all the 23 things. Still using the cd player without a holder with many many cds, look so stupid in front of the young guns!

Thing 20
Not I am not into gaming.Using the web game to introducelibrary services is not a bad idea, I have to admit

Thing 21
Embed the best of Hong Kong Youtube video clip into this blog.

Thing 22
Embed Web 1 versus Web 2 slide from a web: 2 conference in San Franciscoin oct 2007.

Quickiest task

Somehow I had my facebook account set up by the Murdoch Alumni and I have relatives and past students joining me in, so the Thing 15 and Thing 16 seems to be not that difficult. But i don't like the look or the set up of the page, far too crowded for me. Time spent 40 minutes. Face book login. Just realised that I still don't know how to make my own facebook URL yet!

Additional Help

I realised the image generator only saved the words I created but the photo was gone. Gavin the IT officer from Peel was at South Street and he explained to me that the image has to be saved to my own drive first and then add it on as an image. Ha ! i got it. Thanks Gavin

Thought to try another one by putting frames onto the photo, it works!

One last one was my niece Frances who I promise to post another picture of her, so compare how she is now from the blog posted on 24th Oct 2007.

Things 15

Try the image generator thing, got the photo, put text in but when I copied and pasted the html address back to the blog it is not showing the picture, why?? Another 2 hours spent, no success! Just about to close the blog thought to try it again and you know what, it works this time ! No it did not

Library Images- these are classics


Group photo of most of the library staff in 2001.


Mid winter lunch 2005
Can anyone tell me the name of the song that this group of crazy librarians used for their act?

Flicker - uploading photos onto the Internet. this requires a creation of Yahoo account (which I had one before as to use the 'Talk' with my friend in SF, but used it once, still find it funny to talk to the headphone rather than directly to phone.

The login page for Flicker is Flicker. The pic uploaded onto flicker is available via Murdoch Library Photo

So far so good for today, as I can upload the photo onto Flicker. Why can't I simply upload pics onto Blog as it contains less rubbish on the screen.
Total hours spent today: 3 hours

Catching up and am flying above Murdoch campus


I had trouble in creating the PBWIKI last week, but today it was fine and I successfully created a Relatives everywhere PBWIKI , hopefully relatives everywhere would contribute and then I plan to have their photos uploaded and become an online family album.

I also managed to create Online bookmark via del.icio.us. Still need to do some more edition work and also that gave me a chance to tidying up all of my bookmarks which I stored in the last few years. Click on POST and then there will be pop up to guide one through

A total of 4 hours spent in getting things to work
