Do you like this picture? - I have plenty more where this comes from including approximately 1555 photos of trees (of course I exaggerate).
I thought this was an apt picture as I have just recently spent 4 or 5 or 6 weeks away from Learning 2.0 (alas, I was not on the holiday pictured or indeed any holiday at all). Now I'm not quite sure that I'll get it all finished in time given that this Learning 2.0 thing appears to have gotten all competitive - thanks Jaynie :-).
Also sometimes I feel as old as this picture as I grapple with the everything of the Internet. I know that as an information professional I should feel happy that it's all out there for everyone but oh the dilemmas of having too much choice!! Whinge whinge.
Anyway, on to the topic du jour...
I have been on Flickr since April 2006 (smug - but that's what it tells me - but that's after it got bought up by Yahoo so I'm not really old school). I think it's incredible but I'm only a minor user of its features and an ad hoc poster -and most of my pictures are set to private as I use it to store pictures 'in the cloud' (technical term there) so I can access them whenever without needing to have one of my usb's or camera devices. Actually I have about 500 pictures I intend to post there but haven't gotten around to do it and in the interim (since my last upload) a million different things have happened on Flickr and now I feel as old as the house as I don't know about any of them. Please take a look at my pictures http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaeldo/ - many of them are from 2006 when I found 10 rolls of undeveloped film from about 1996 and had them developed so please feel free to relive a heavily censored version of my days as an Arts student in Carlton.
Ok - as for this week's exercise. My computer obviously took sympathy with my old state of mind and went back to 1999 speeds to help me relive my Internet youth and it took me half an hour to do anything (and none of the apps would load), but I am completely intrigued by the apps that allow you to find photos by colour (as it is one day my intention to catalogue a library full of books via colour - actually I achieved this as a 5 year old when I catalogued all my 2nd hand fairy tale collections via the spine colour - and then forgot all about being a Librarian for 25 years). I'm going to wait until the always immiment computer rollout and see if I could have a look at some of these apps then.
