My Space Friend

I have on friend, and he's everyone's friend. How sad.

But, wait, I just asked KCLS to be my friend. Um, what if KCLS rejects me?

Still sad, I guess.

Anyway, I've completed the assignments this week and am proud of myself (that I took the time to do so, and still remembered to keep track of practice reference stats). So what's on for next week?

Tagging, Technocrati, Folksonomies, oh my. (Sorry, couldn't resist the Wizard reference.

My Space

Okay, I am now part of My Space (under an assumed name). It was a lot easier than RSS (I had quite a bit of trouble before I got it working) and it was even easier than Flickr. Of course, I have a friend named Tom and life looks pretty relaxed on My Space. Not sure how to use it yet. Not sure, exactly, how to see what my space looks like from outside my setup page.

I did, however, find some pretty cool MySpaces. The Isle of Man has a MySpace (Peel Castle is on the Isle of Man), the SCA has a MySpace (Society for Creative Anachronism) and even SPL has a teen site. Of course, so do we, but I expect us to be ahead of SPL.

And I played with the search, discovering only one person from my school graduated in my year and made a MySpace (but I'm pretty old, so maybe my old friends are still figuring out how to use a mouse).

That's all for today. Next week, same bat-time, same bat-channel.

Bloglines

Okay, a new week, a new blog. This week, I tried RSS and added two library related feeds, The Library of Congress (but only the updated web-based items) and the London Library (it didn't say "Useful Library related). I also added NASA. Does the History Channel daily schedule count? Because I found that one, too (and it's useful).

Oh, wait, do these count as blog-RSS, or would those be something else? Questions, questions, always questions.

Peel Castle pictures

Since Peel Castle is my sign-in, I thought I would link to some pictures of Peel Castle (from the Isle of Man, in the Irish Sea). If I do this right, you'll be able to link over to Flickr and see a list of pictures people have taken of Peel Castle. I believe I don't need to reference the photographers, since I didn't actually post copies of the pictures themselves (hope I'm right about that).

I wasn't sure if I was able to link to a search list, so thought I would do that before linking to just a single picture. (It'll be interesting to see if the link stays stagnate, or if the link changes content when new content is sent). Pictures

Here's a picture I found that has Creative Common Liscense (as long as it isn't used commercially and the photographer is credited) So the picture was taken by a flickr account named "aileen_thebanshee". (Thank you, Aileen. I hope I did this part right). You kind find other of Aileen's Peel pictures at Flickr. Aileen

Flickr

Flickr was fun (I took an imaginary trip to London and looked at the sites. Hmmm, so this is like "Uncle Jim and Aunt Gloria's vacation slides" without all the boring comentary and you can leave anytime you want to, without upsetting grandma).

The color pickr for flickr was much cooler. The hamster sudoku just plain worried me. (But it was a sudoku, so I had to try and play it anyway).
