As a part of Week of Learning 2.0, I have been looking at RSS feeds, and Bloglines. While I can see some personal use for the RSS service, it's library applications would seem to be limited, for me... Perhaps, as a networking tool, there may some application, but I'm not really seing much at this moment.

Well... I had wondered if Blogger was broken, or just at work... it would seem that once more, the IT Department are conspiring to make doing our jobs harder! Works just fine at home, so the Council network is to blame! Yay!

A Pictorial Guide to Avoiding camera loss...

Found this through an RSS feed on Bloglines... VERY funny!

A bridge so far

A bridge so far, originally uploaded by Rich007.

This shot was taken by a photographer friend of mine, on a recent visit to Sydney. An unusual angle on our Bridge, but a lovely night shot!

Flickr

I have had a Flickr account for some time, but have only recently uploaded some of my piccies to it... there is a link to the left, in "Links a lot", so feel free to check 'em out! I have come to really enjoy photography, recently, and love the way digital technolgy has revolutionised the humble camera. I have always been the sort of person who takes bucket-loads of photos, for the one good shot, so being able to discard the trash BEFORE printing it out works for me! And being able to edit, crop and modify the image myself... awesome!

Allons-y!

Hey there!

This is a quick note to kick-off my new blogging experience... I have blogged before, but was a Bad Blogger, and didn't update anywhere near as often as I should I have! This time WILL be different! BTW, if you wish to view my previous rambles, try www.richardsrambles.blogger.com ... it may be interesting. It may also bore the pants off you, but that is the risk you take when you go online!

I am doing this as part of the NSW State Library's Learning 2.0 programme, and I am looking forward to getting a grasp on some of the technologies that have so far eluded me. So, as that great philosopher, The Doctor, would say: "Allons-y!" and off we go!
