Learning a lot

aprilreader — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 22:05:14 +0000

Well, I certainly have a lot to say about “8″
Maps were a bit frustrating because it took so long to load, in fact I had to go about other tasks and return to the maps. I did manage to utilize many of the options on maps and have to confess, learned quite a bit.
I then traveled to Google shopping and spied a gift a daughter-in-law and son wanted. I now know both what it looks like and …how much it costs. That helps.
I then delved into Life hacker top 10 obscure search tricks. Google thought I already knew some of the tried & true. Well, I fooled Google.
It’s great knowing how quickly foreign currency can be evaluated, and weather, wherever.
I now understand why people take their laptops everywhere. Is it too late to ask for one for Christmas?

Well,This is interesting. My new Friend Judy from the Edwardsville Library helped me with my Christmas list by suggesting books for some of those darling kids on my list. Next time I’m in Edwardsville I’ll take her to linch.

By the way where is Edwardsville?

The AIM acronym dictionary is fun to look at and would be even more fun if I could remember some of them

Well, bfn

Oh my what an adventure!! Without the patient help of this staff I’d have no idea about Control v.

Poor Lisa

Yes, poor Lisa. She has to listen to me wail and moan about my computer deficiences. If she has her way I’ll improve each time or she’ll know why! Lisa, I promise to do better tomorrow. REALLY.

sunset

Well, what an experience!!! Flickr, bicker, ticker. The good news, I think, is that I can learn all this again tomorrow, because you see, I’m in the sunset of my life. That’s why I choose this sunset picture.

Now I’m listening to a co-worker struggle with Flickr. At least I’m not alone. We’re going into that sunset together.

Oh, wait a minute, I just helped my co-worker. Perhaps this is not so bad!!

Computer challenged

aprilreader — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:45:50 +0000

I had no idea that life was so simple, well even in 1980, just as we were installing our first computer. Oh, I thought we were on the cutting edge. If we were, somewhere a long the way I’ve slipped off that edge.

Enter 2008 and I’m ready to get back on track and let my grandchildren know that I, in fact have a blog.

Of course, the real question is, do I want a blog? Well, of course I do!

Time will tell how all this works.

I’ll keep you posted.
