#10 Play around with image generators


This could be addictive.

#8 Make life "really simple" with RSS & a newsreader

I used to regularly surf to abc.net.au/news and theage.com.au and news.com.au amongst others and browse the headlines, only reading stories if they appealed to me...
bloglines gathers that all together in one page (along with non-news feeds) and so now I can just go to my bloglines account, and if a story appeals to me i will follow the link to the story....
i signed up for the beta bloglines and it seems to work well
nice one!

Review: Chain of Evidence by Garry Disher

This is the first Garry Disher book I have read, and I loved it. A well deserved winner of the Ned Kelly Award 2007. Well written, easy to read, a clever crime novel. Excellent.

I'm in love! (#7 Technology blog post.)

I just bought a hard disk recorder, its lovely, shiny, sleek, faithful.

My two old vcrs aren't quite so thrilled.

The pile of tapes that gathered dust, took 10 minutes to rewind, weren't searchable, are waiting to be converted to digital.

I also have some old audio tapes in a box somewhere, sitting, waiting quietly in the dark.

My hard disk recorder can record over 80 hours of tv (ick), she lets me record live tv in delay, she lets me rename the recordings, sort them into genres....

I'm in love....

til the next model comes out.

Pause.....learning 2.0 time




The blog deviates due to learning 2.0 activities.

This is my first flickr mashup, it was actually fun.

Flickr is very intuitive, the way the web should be.
Impressed oi be.

Sucked In by Shane Maloney

Shane's latest Murray Whelan book is equally as enjoyable as previous works. A great mix of humour, satire and political insight. A great read.
