Thing 26: Widgets

Just been exploring yourminis site. There seem to be widgets for just about any topic. I can see these taking the place of having post-it-notes stuck on your PC with reminders and website addresses to look up. Or they can just be for fun like the one I have added to my blog. I can definitley see these being useful in our work

Thing 25: LetterPop

Hello again from Catwoman. Just been attempting to use LetterPop. I found it very difficult to use on my ATO net computer. It kept on giving errors and throwing me out! So I moved to the standalone. Much better. I really had lots of fun trying out the different newsletter templates. Theere are so many to choose from, you could produce a newsletter for just about anything!

Thing 24: Got file conversion issues?

Hello again from Catwoman. Back on the journey of the next 23 things. Just been onto the Zamzar website and I really think this is going to be very useful in my work. Often clients will scan something in pdf and then ask if there is a way to convert it into a word document. Now I can show them how easy it is to do. I have successfully converted a pdf file into a word document. And also vice-versa. It's ao easy to do. And the emails from Zamzar came through within a few minutes.

#23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning ...

Wow. I can't believe I finally arrived at the end of the "23 things" journey! Had a few bumps along the way, but overall it was a very interesting learning experience. I'm sure the journey is not over, as new technologies evolve.

#22 Audiobooks

The World Ebook fair site is quite with many interesting books to download. This was quite easy to do, and I downloaded and listened to a couple of books from my childhood such as the Little Match girl by Hans Christian Anderson and Rumpelstiltskin by Gebrüder Grimm. They certainly brought back some happy memories.

#21 Podcasts, Smodcasts!

Just been exploring some podcasts of my favourite topics such as music, movies. There seems to be podcasts on just about any topic you can think of! I found the Yahoo Podcasts quite a good site. I think this is a great way of sharing information. Podcasts have a definite application in libraries
