Grazr grrrr

Oh, I am so weary of trying to figure things out that simply don't work. My brain is fried--I've aggregated feeds, (not even sure why at this point), I've exported, cut, pasted, saved, etc. and I cannot get my opml file into grazr, ergo, no widget. I also tried to add my other third-party sources to zoomclouds, as instructed, but zoomclouds says "forget it!" (well, it's en ingles, which IS an improvement over last night--ha ha!) Enough torture for one day/night--I'm off to the Daily Show and Colbert for some entertainment!

Seeing through the clouds...

Zoomclouds sure is persnickety. Just for "fun" (am I insane?) I tried to create some other clouds, but zoomclouds has its own ideas. Time to move on to grazr, I suppose. On a side note, I've passed on info about blogger.com, googlereader and google co-op to some interested folks and they think I'm really technologically adept now.

Hola Ingles

English has made a return to Zoomclouds. This has become amusing. Zoomclouds still won't fetch this blog feed.

Zoomclouds en espanol

Oh gees, I went back to see if I could get my blog feed into a cloud and now Zoomclouds has disappeared, replaced by a Spanish language site, which is not the same. Dios mio. However, as comic relief, I stumbled across blog references to Zoomclouds and it is funny to read since all of the recent ones are from our class. Ha ha.

Too funny--you have to read this.

Zoomclouds?

The html code for my cloud is here---wonder if the cloud will show up....

Zoomclouds revisited

Zoomclouds is supposedly fetching my feed from del.icio.us....it's been about 3 minutes so far--I don't think it is supposed to take this long...five minutes....7 minutes...this is not encouraging.

Zoomclouds not zoomin'

Zoomclouds doesn't like my RSS feed for my blog. Just won't process it. I can't believe that I just can't seem to get anything to work! I emailed a link to my Zotero tags to Chris since no matter what I did, they wouldn't import to ENW.

Zotero continues

Hmm, it still won't work. I don't get it. I've tried many different things. Read the help, did this and did that and still....wrong file shows up.

Zotero Woes

Try as I do, I cannot get the correct file imported from Zotero into ENW. I don't know what the problem is, as far as I can tell I am selecting the correct file, but then something else shows up in ENW. Weird. So, I am trapped--I can't finish this assignment array. Aghhhhhh. Maybe I need chocolate again....or maybe I should go back to the beach...

LibraryThing

http://www.librarything.com/about

I've been meaning to post this link, although I bet a lot of people already know about this neat site. Anyway, for those who don't, check it out-it's a neat way to keep track of your books.

Success!

Hey! It works. Wow. How about that? Now I think I'll add a few more sites....

Google Co-Op

http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=017434504403101392074%3A4cl9-r20sge

Well, I'm posting this and then I'll check again to see if it works. Fingers crossed.

Beach Time

Wow, beach time sure is good for the brain. I can't pretend to have discovered any earth-shattering secrets about any of the assignments, but I sure feel better! I am reviewing my bloglines/scopus assignment. I have my url posted, but it just takes me to bloglines with all of my feeds instead of just the scopus folder. I'm not sure what I'm missing. I've read through many of the comments on the db, but still can't figure it out. I'm happy just to have gotten the url and live link up. C'est la vie, no?

Bloglines here?

http://www.bloglines.com/public/denali97

Wow, did I accomplish this finally? If so, it must have been the chocolate break!

Bloglines

Well, I did what the directions say to do, but it doesn't work. I am going to the beach and probably won't be able to work on this while away since most of this stuff won't work on my laptop.....

Bloglines grrrr

I keep trying to share my Bloglines folder here but it is NOT working!

Bloglines....

Well, I can't figure out how to make a folder in Bloglines and nothing seems to be working.....

Where am I?

Gees, I'm getting things accomplished, but half the time I lose track of what I am doing! I successfully saved a search in Scopus, exporting it, then imported it to EndNoteWeb, then I saw that I had 9 items and I thought I had 10 and needed 10, but now can't find that assignment information.....and I've lost track of zotero. It doesn't help to be working between two computers--one which has some apps and not others---with neither computer having all since that seems to totally screw up the computers!
On top of that, I somehow lost my iPod library today. Somedays technology is a pain!

Random thoughts....

Well, I said I would engage in random acts of thinking, and so it is. I have succeeded in moving most things (as far as I can tell at this point!) to my other computer. I actually had a couple of uninterrupted hours, allowing me to do that. I have successfully "captured" over 50 items in EndNoteWeb, but I'm not sure how to export them. They are happily sitting in a folder, awaiting my further action! I will delve into how to do that later. I needed a break from it and blogging is a good break... On to the next thing!

Grrrrrr.......

My computer went wacko several days ago, then right before it crashed, Skype gave me some bizarre message about a serious error. I tried to download Skype onto my other computer, but it wouldn't work......

Flashers

Well, perhaps some of my technology isn't working, but some is--that's a bonus. The flash meeting worked okay tonight, especially after I figured out to use the "start broadcasting" button instead of the "interrupt"---so rude!!! :-)
I suppose I will invest in a camera--it was fun to see a few folks. I am not sure what happened with skype. I was able to run a couple of chats and I did successfully complete a conference call with a few folks. I never saw Chris in skype, so I'm not sure what was happening there.
This all gives me hope for getting more technology to work!! Onward!!!

Technology Headaches

Well, due to technological obstacles, I have not been able to post for over a week. I am trying to move most everything required for this course onto my older computer and I hope to rejuvenate my newer computer, so that it stops giving me headaches!!! I seem to remember a similar problem with a previous course in which I had to download a lot of things...hmmmm....connection? coincidence? Frustrating? YES!
