task #20, podcasts, videos and downloadable audio

Well I don't need to look at this one, as youtube has haunted my life for a while, miss 14 spends most of her time locked in her bedroom in the dark, watching this and another girlfriend spends allday watching to the extent that she now has to PAY someone to do her housework so she can spend hours staring at the screen! very addicitive this site.

task #19 Discovering Web 2 tools

Well here is another one designed for those people who have nothing else better to do with their time than stare at a comp. screen. Unfortunately (or fortunately which ever way you view it) my life is too busy at the moment than to do more than have a quick look at it now. Although I can see a use for it when I understand the world of computers more than I do now.

task #18 Web based apps

Well i had a look at this. Its very interesting, but seeing i have no idea what a spread sheet is or how it will influence my life, I think this is one I will have to look at more closely at a later date.

task #17 playing around with PBwiki

Well I have done this, not quiet sure how, but i managed it somehow. Will take the time to look at is more closely after the silly season, here it is 21st Dec. and still not shopping done!

Task #16 Wikis

well the first thing I learnt was the wiki means quick in Hiawian, I seem to remember it in an old Elvis Presley movie once, wiki wiki. I think this is a wonderful thing for the sharing of ideas, but worry about the correctedness, if that is a word, of the information therein. As was evidenced in usa recently with people arbetarally changing the facts to suit themselves. I read a book review of Anne MacCaffery's work, I enjoy her books a lot, and she would be among my favourite authours along with David Eddings and Katherine Kerr.
