web based apps

Well big surprise. i had problems here too. Google docs weren't a problem. didn't like them because i couldn't get a print preview and am not going to spend a long period of time learning something if i don't have to, or i don't have someone helping me.
the zoho apps wouldn't let me in. and i had a choice between continuing to try & go in and play or writing in the blog. (or just ripping out my hair) no combination of e-mail & passwords would let me in. it did not recognize either my gmail or my yahoo, which my yahoo i've had for several years. close to ten now. I know that password...
I find that alot of these 20 for 2.0 are not really worthwhile, because while i know they are there, I am having too much trouble to spend any time with them. since I am having such a bad experience with them, I would NEVER recommend them to anyone. I would never go back and spend my own time on them, as I see them as a waste of time. At this point, I am so frustrated with all of them, that if it were not expected of me, I wouldn't finish them, as they are, to me, just that. A frustrating waste of time. and that's how if i remember them in the future i'll remember them...

search engines

Well, search engines are something I understand... sorta... I find it interesting that the berkeley article does not recommend using meta-search engines, and yet we are suppose to try dogpile and the like.... I like search engines, anything that will help me find what I am looking for? love it... google and yahoo. are talking about combining something, tho. I think it might just be advertising. Not sure if this will eventually affect the engines themselves...

g-mail, blogger and the rest of it...

6/6/08 Well this was one nasty day... I had trouble with everything i was working on. I finally just gave up. When i was trying to listen to something, it would send me to blogger, and ask me to sign in, but would not recognize my passwords. I shut everything down and it let me sign into blogger, but nothing else. I was done for the day... I had enough. this is why i dislike computers and everything to do with computers...

podcasts

this is just about as much as I can stand. glad i'm caught up and done for the week. Before I was done, google kicked me out and would not let me into the reader or into blogger. I had to exit everything, and I could not be in more than one thing at a time. Cound not be in mail and reader, or mail and blogger or any combination of anything. of any files. I had to close the file with all my passwords in it. and I had that open so I knew i was typing the right passwords...
I listened to one podcast... and when i selected the second one is when all Hell broke loose. so... its a good thing podcasts weren't something i was interested in either...

custom sign generator

Well that was a bit more fun.. I tried sending the book cover I made though and it said that I had to be referred from the web site that I came from. so it wouldn't send me... If this process wasn't frustrating enough... Do I need to go into how much I hate writing?

Overdrive

Well after some fighting I figured out how to search for titles. I even found 1 that I would read and checked it out. I could not figure out how to downlad it though. a message came up saying there was a problem and I could not figure out where to go from there. There's no one near to ask for help. And I am under the impression that we aren't suppose to ask IT for help. I think tho' that this as all part of having a new computer...

delicious

Well when this assignment was assigned, I read and installed the buttons like i was supposed to. Then I was given a new computer that took away the bottons. when I tried to reinstall the buttons the new computer said that the server network would not allow it. I give up...
