#31 Organised, who me?

Plaxo is yet another organiser but with with links to others but it could be intrusive. You can do a lot of this with lotus. I don't , I tend to rely on the old diary simply because I like to take info with me (maybe when I own a blackberry I would input all info as it is, I see it as a doubling up on input) Care must be taken setting up, each level of privacy needs to be specified otherwise it is open slather. I won't be subscribing to anything life is too short and my downloads are too small. Just how many people do you want to have your email address. If you are a totally Internet activated phone orientated person who can not bear your own company it might work for you.
At work if linked only to your team it may be useful to synchronise meeting information, training notes, professional reading etc but could be a time wasting not a time saving tool.

# 30 lolcats

Well this is a pretty bit of nonsense that could be utilised for creating posters etc. However this is not a reliable platform much of this could be created just using adobe or another graphic program even paintshop possibly. Little old puddy tat lolling in the blue yonder

#29 Scraps

Scrapbloging: Just how much time could you spend on this one (and then some ) scraps will be it from me, so far to go so little time . Could possibly see this used on a library website to promote an author talk but dedicated time is required for this one to look good. It is getting a bit repetitious here different sites using similar techniques.Scrapblog server was down a couple of times and flickr was having a massage? so will come back to it

#28 covering up


Had some fun with this, personal rather than work applications made one up for my husband to be on the cover of a golfing magazine (move over tiger). Continued the feline theme with this little creation

#26 minime

Played with the mini's and created tab of tools could be useful sitting in desk top for quick consult at beginning of the day google has something similar used to set up own page of tools.

#25 letterpop

Letterpop could be useful with so much marketing going on posters etc could be created as well as newsletters . Limited number of use free could lead to problems however. Check out my first attempt. Cats at work

#24 Yikes!! Zamzar
While I was out partying (I did a little) cooking up a storm, recovering, shelving, shifting, inhaling paint fumes, other folks were blogging on. The reality is this exploration of 2.1 must be done in home time you need to be able to convince family members that you are not obsessed or exploited that yes you will go out in the sunshine today. Having said that let me say this (polly speak) I wondered about the rest of the program being tackled overseas and meant to get to it this year (yeah when, I here you say) quite right I needed a nudge and so to I dare say do we all(shut up and get on with it)

Zamzar .....great tool, useful for training notes right format for the right situation etc. pdf for long document are easier to scan online than straight docs. Tried it with my local history resources (where the hell do I start) guide used in my branch but found I needed to tweek the contents again stay posted. Useful also for library users who need that another format to print or create that we may not provide the software for.
