In the spirit of this week's exercise, today I have been so productive that I not only made it to the Council Staff Xmas Gathering at Frog's Hollow, shelved, did tea relief, emptied the dishwasher, did a spot of weeding and answered a very tricky reference question regarding a vaguely recollected line of a poem (thanks to Google, my Dad and a somewhat unorthodox use of search terms) but I also made it through 3 whole exercises (- just don't test me on them next week).
I have just spent 10 minutes 'pimping' (and then 'depimping') my Google page. I think I will just end up removing the 8 widgets (am I using this term correctly? - or are they applications or something else?). It all seems a bit distracting (a bit like Pimped Japanese Trucks - http://damncoolpics.blogspot.com/2006/12/pimped-japanese-trucks.html) but so very easy to use. I have also taken my own advice (which was no doubt someone else's advice) and done the exercise in FireFox.
And what have I learned? That the next time I need to convert a document I can try Zamzar (I usually try one of a number of free online tools depending on the day of the week) and that I could recommend it to people trying to view attachments sent to them via email that are docx (until we upgrade). That everytime I open up FireFox I can read all the Learning 2.0 blogs (as I've subscribed to them all and now Google Reader has added them to my browser page). That after doing 8 exercises I'm still unsure what to call things, and finally, that it is now time for me to go home and rest my noggin in order to get through the next 2 weeks activities.
