Enrolled

Instead of procrastinating I have done an online enrolment to start my postgraduate studies…yay!

Easier bookmarking

I use del.icio.us, Spurl and Furl and have found a way to post to all 3. Introducing OnlyWire which can also post to quite a few other bookmarking services as well.

Add to this the GreaseMonkey dejalicious script and I am enjoying bookmarking again. Forget categorising and share the tagging and bookmarking love!

Blackberry

Looks like the Blackberry was working but this post came through blank. So more tweaking to do.

Background Switcher

I use John’s Background Switcher (www.backgroundswitcher.com) which means I can have Flickr photos as my background and they automatically change. I use all the Flickr photos I have as “Favourites” which makes for wonderful eye candy.

I also use Slickr (http://cellardoorsw.com/?page_id=4) for my screensaver which also uses Flickr photos, but for this one I use my own photos uploaded to Flickr. The benefit of this is that it is like a slideshow the kids can watch with photos of themselves and the family.

Both of these can also use photos from your own computer.

I don’t believe I have mentioned anything yet about my Flickr account and how addictive Flickr is. del.icio.us doesn’t have me hooked to the same extent, but I can see that tagging and labels (Gmail) are the future wave and I am thrilled to be riding it.
