RSS

Really simple syndication was not as difficult as I thought it would be. It was easy to add the feeds and the suggestions given were helpful. I will definitely use this new technology. My URL is http://www.bloglines.com/public/loony. I saw that some people thought that Google Reader was easier to navigate. I will check that out as well.

More IM

I sent a IM to the reference desk at Main during my lunch time. I guess the Librarian was at lunch as well. After waiting for a few minutes, I left to get something to eat. When I checked later, someone had sent me a reply because I didn't sign out or changed my status to unavailable. Once again, I have learned something new. When I tried later I got an "away from the desk/busy" message. Finally, on my third try I received an instant reply to my question. It is good to know that this service is available for those who choose to use it.

IM

I finally was able to send and receive an IM. Yeah! Although I can see the benefits of it, IM is not something I will do on a regular basis. If my son goes oversees, I will be able to "speak" to him in real time without amassing a huge telephone bill. It is also probably a great tool when taking online classes. I am glad I learned how to do it.

IM

I am still having trouble sending and receiving an instant message, but I am not giving up. I guess this is helping me develop Habit 3 - viewing problems as challenges. Alright I got the message!!

71/2 Habits

This tutorial was helpful in many ways. I found Habit 1 to be the easiest. Naturally, it doesn't take much to set a goal. The difficulty comes in sticking to it and completing it. I am determined to complete the Tech Trek 2.0 quests. I will work on developing Habit 3 (Viewing problems as challenges). I have been known to quit when things get difficult. So here I go - 1.. 2... 3... BLAST OFF!!!

Test Blog

This is my first blog! I finally got it to work, I think.
