Glass orb with reflection of the landscape in it

A change is as good as a rest ….

… though not when it’s your Social Network doing it! This week, Facebook comments have been somewhat dominated by the recent changes; changes from a view that few liked when it was introduced! I’ve had mixed thoughts on it; there are some things I like, others that I’m less keen on. I’ll look at them…

Twitter vs. Facebook.

A chance comment by Rosie Sherry on Twitter caused me to think about the differences between the two. Her point was that it’s easier to keep up with people in Facebook – which I’d agree with, but, I see that as a benefit of having two accounts. When I first used Facebook, I couldn’t quite…

Wordle 6

Not done done for ages (not only have I not blogged for ages, but I’d forgotten about Wordle, until I thought about it for a friend)…

Galleries on WordPress.

In the last post, I just uploaded 3 photos; it gave me the option to create a gallery, but I could only do it with the 3 photos I’d uploaded. I actually wanted to have one on its own, and two together. (Got over it by having them immediately after each other). However, it made…

Getting Sugar talking!

(No, nothing to do with Sir Alan!) I’ve got an OLPC , and have an Acer Aspire Netbook with Sugar On A Stick installed – and was trying to get them to recognise each other, in order to demonstrate the mesh & collaborative working. I was able to get both onto the Uni Network (though…

Tweetdeck

RWW reports that Tweetdeck has allegedly been bought by Twitter. Nothing has been confirmed yet – but if so, then RWW’s feeling that it’s likely that support for other networks will remain is probably true. (Not that I’ve ever actually used Tweetdeck for anything other than a single twitter a/c; but it’s nice to know…

Many Eyes.

I’ve revisited Many Eyes for the first time in a long time – and even decided to have a go at creating a visualisation. I’m not that good at selecting appropriate values at present – however, using the fee tables from the Guardian, I managed to get a pretty visual representation of the proportion of…

Sorted!

I’ve now got it all sorted so that I can use the updating features from within WordPress, upload photos etc., etc., etc. Have also worked out how to create webusers (which I think I may well use to enable my students to host websites next year, not just build them). I’ve tried creating a sub-domain…

Twitter … or why I've not been blogging

It’s fairly clear from the Wordle that I’ve just posted, that I’m using twitter more and more at the moment, so, following the suggestion from Ginerva,, I thought I’d have a go at creating it. Tweetstats gave me some useful stats, and here’s the wordle (which you can now create straight from Tweetstats):…

Wordle – 5

Having just sorted out all the images on my blog (and a few other tweaks that needed it), I realise it’s been a while since I did a Wordle of the blog: So, here it is: Created on wordle…
