Getting it right

I found this on Flickr - Vinje's picture of the Tower of London has some rights reserved allowing me to use for non commercial purposes like doing this exercise for the Web 2.0 tutorial. I chose the picture because it has no people in it unlike my previous attempt - no ethical considerations. It is not the typical picture of the Tower since it is a detail and so doesn't look like a promotional picture for tourists.

Flickring around with Flickr

I love this picture of a nun using playstation I found it looking around creative commons. The photographer loves to photograph strangers in a public place. I find people fascinating too. It begs all sorts of questions though. There is so much to read about what can be done. I have forgotten to get the photographer's name to credit him so I must go and look again before I publish this post. I like the spirit of the lady in learning from the little girl. I can do this too.

I'm blogging - hurrah!

I have finally registered my blog! Now I want to upload a video from flickr and I think this is the way to do it.

The first five hours of Web 2.0

Booked a computer in the library to follow the Week 1 lesson plan. Have trouble opening different pages and the videos wont play. run through as much as I can - Is there something vital I am not finding out without the video playing. Times up!

Booked a computer at my local library and try again. I can open videos but I don't have head phones so I just read the screen and hope that I am not missing much.

I have a Gmail account - I think. Whoops I have forgotten my password or is it the gmail address. I try the possible combinations. I thought I chose my name and the same password as I had for my Yahoo account but no joy.
I'll start another just for this learning exercise. I keep getting the message that I should use only letters and numbers and isn't that what I am doing. Times up!

I try using the public access computers at work before the public comes in. I have another go at finding my gmail account. No luck. OK try again to make a new one. Ohhhhhhhh thats what they mean. Unlike Yahoo you don't type in @ gmail when you type in your choice of address. Try a password - too short then at last I have an address and password. This time I write it down but I won't forget this time.

Now for a blog. I decide on a name a follow the prompts to giving a title and url for my blog. Then I start to read some extraneous text and don't know how to finish registering. Times up!
