Delicious

tried out Delicious program for saving and sorting bookmarks. The design of the layout is a bit busy, but the concept of saving bookmarks in the ether where they can be accessed from any computer is useful.

web 2.0 awards

The web 2.0 awards site has some promise. I've checked out the #1 travel site and a couple of others.

Make Your Jack O'Lantern

Tried to use the software that lets you customize a Jack O'Lantern. I tried to upload an image from the VHS, but the program said it exceeded the limit. It only allows 100 KB. What a lame program.

update on RSS and Twitter

OK, I've added a Wall St. Journal feed to my RSS list, and I've read the Business Week article on Twitter. Conclusion:
RSS: good
Twitter: for people with no life.

I may use RSS. It will be interesting to see if it supplants my plain old-fashioned bookmarks of web sites. I'm glad to know what Twitter is but can't think of a use for it. There might be some business applications but not for me.

setting up rss

Set up rss feed this morning. Not able to do it with the instructions given. Had to ask Graham to help. Again, there are usability problems. it would only have taken one additional sentence in the instructions to have avoided this problem.

I'm a good guinea pig for testing out a new feature: if it's not readily apparent what step to take next, I'll be flummoxed every time.

Trying to figure out how to add blogs to follow.

template

Now I've figured out how to customize the template, font, etc. That was fairly easy.
