#23 THE END

Well, what can I say - it has been a journey. For the most part I have found it very intersting and it certainly has increased my awareness of the various technologies that are out there. Has also given me a few ideas about what we could possibly offer people that we don't already.
I can't say that I will use everything that I have learnt frequently, but at least now I have some ideas of where to start.
Thanks to all of those who helped put this program together - it was a more than worthwhile experience!

#22 MP3 titles

Think that there will be much more available in this format in the future. Now that many new cars have built in mp3 players as well as options to be able to plug your own ipod/player into the console as well.
Obviously, gets around having all of those lost single cassettes and discs, scratched and damaged items. Also a fantastic way to deliver services to the visually impaired.

#21 Podcasts and directories

Like the idea of a podcast directory. Am using Vista at home and RSS feeds can automatically be added via the explorer tool bar - makes it very easy. What I did find was that it was a little more difficult to get Australian content - so much American stuff.
Will remember these directories as they may come in handy.

# 20 Youtube

Well, what can you say about Youtube that hasn't already been said. Has great stuff in it, but boy do you have to sink through the junk to get to some good stuff. Can't believe what people think may be interesting to others - may be there is a voyeur in us all.




The above was a comedy? Slightly funny.... a cheap way of getting your films made and viewed - over half a million people had viewed this one.

#19 Web 2.0

Well, that was a fun time looking at all the various ways I could 'waste time' when I should be doing housework! There really is more to life than housework... Have signed up to yet more things - my head will spin with all the sign ins and passwords - need to use one of those google spread sheets to keep track of them all. Quite liked the real travel site and also last.fm. Farecast looks like an Amercian version of Webjet, which I have used heaps before when trying to find good flights.

#18 Zoho continued

Mangaged to work out how to put this into my blog - was a fairly easy thing to do. Not too sure about the way that the photo turned out - probably due to the way that I had imported into the document. Looked fine on the Zoho page, but looks a little dodgey on the Blog!

# 18 ZOHO Trial run


Here I am playing with Zoho for the first time.  Looks like it is fairly easy to use.  Will have a try at doing a few different things.

 

Could be useful if you travel around a lot.  Saves buying software.

 

THIS IS THE SAME AS USING WORD!

 

HERE IS A TABLE
VERY EASY TO DO

 

 

 

Not having much luck putting a photo in.

 

 

Finally worked - think that it was just a little slow and I was too impatient!
