Text Message

1. I have not sent a text message befroe the iHCPL Training. Thanks to iHCPL
which enforced all staff to keep up with the new knowledge and skill.

2. I read through the basics , practice couple times , send several messages
to my children and they reply to the message immediately. It is fun.
I think I am able to send a message in an emergency.

3. I have not use text Lingo yet and I will try later.

4. Texting while driving spells big troubles. It is dangerous and stupid.
Since you are unable to type and drive at the same time. The article on
New York Times brought to us pay attention to this serious issue.

Spring Cleaning in Cyberspace

I deleted some old messages from my email, the oldest one was back in 2004.
I also deleted some files from the special folders, such as the out-of-date
Library policies and information.

In the meantime, I move some of my favorable pictures and photos to the
permanent storage (USB drive).
Don't clutter up the cyberspace is very important.

It is better organized to check the files as well as to improve the
efficiency of the computer.

The cleaning job should be done regularly.

Flickr, Zoho, Podcast, Overdrive, Pixer.us and Bloglines were some of my favorite web programs. I am enjoying learning the technologies about the emotion icons
in Zoho Writer. I am very excited about the image generator. It has been a great
learning experience, and I will look forward to learn more about these technologies.

I wish I had more time to practice using the above programs.

Week 9 #22

I listened to portions of these ebooks / eAudio clips on the LibriVox site : LibriVox’s Short Poetry Collection, An Irish Airman Forsees His Death by William Butler Yeats and By The Arno by Oscar Wilde . I would consider downloading any of the above. Also listened to The Ugly Duckling in portion at this site : http://hcpl.lib.overdrive.com. I think the Overdrive site of HCPL is user friendly - more so than the Librivox site.
