Sweden, Swedes and Swedish-lish




Ha...found something rather fun.

A year or so ago I happened to be in Germany on exchange. On my last week there, I thought oh my god. Presents? what to buy the family who paid for this :P So I thinks to myself and come up with absolutely nothing. (as usual) anyways I'm beginning to worry then my host mother suggests a big shop that sounds foreign that I've never heard of.

IKEA...

Sounds foreign? imagine poor me... anyway we take a trip to KIEA and i'm in paradise... a cup of tea would be necessary to explain all the wonders in there :P

So I happen to be doing this web2 training and I stumble across the IKEA furniture name generator... put your name in and a piece of furniture at IKEA is yours...

ha I am famous... alala all on the internet though :(

Anway, that was much easier than RSS... I like this type it into the computer and it does it all for you... hahaha yeah that's pretty much me.

Anway here's the link... go play... http://www.blogadilla.com/2008/05/11/the-blogadilla-swedish-furniture-name-generator/

Wordle and library things

Wordle... doesn't the name just sound fantastic... I don't know if this was part of week 3 (play week) but Loryn put me onto it. So I began week 3 and what a better way to play round with images than to create word ones of your own.

Have a look at mine. Its about people who are born in january and the things they are...




Righto... off to eat chocolate and maybe think about playing around with some images instead of clicking the randomizer on wordle...

Mucho Libre

RSS and other mumbo jumbo...

Wow, so RSS... at the end of the lesson I finally figured what you're on about. It makes a bit of sense and is workable but to a simple young lad like myself, its all a bit much. I discovered, while woriking with bloglines and RSS that I'm really not all that computer literate and I was just not getting it.

My problem is that I have absolutely no patience and after a while (working the unshelved comic strip) I played around and figured that if I added the fri 18th strip to my feeds it added the rest of them as well. Bloglines seems like a smart idea and is opening my mind to a whole new internet world so it's working for me. I think I just need to gather my patience about me and keep on trying things... I subscribed to about 6 "packs" which within them contain about 5 different feeds each, so it makes sense to me and I'm having fun browsing them as well.

Although, I couldn't find the staff blogs register, so i'm not sure if I'm on the right track with this... If someone could leave a comment letting me know?

Mucho gracias, enough head stuff for one evening, I'm off to write a 2000 word essay...

Getting started?

Gosh, this is quite exciting really... Learning how to use the net, I wish all the organisations taught you how to do this... I can use msn, bebo and hotmail, that's about it really.

Right, so Susan sent this to me about 2 weeks ago but my little brother destroyed our computer so I'm just getting started now, on the new computer that I really have no idea how to work.

Finally making some sense of this blogger stuff and working through the 23 or is it 43? things steadily... it told me to make a blog so I did...

SO I better continue... this is really quite exciting isn't it... wishing myself luck I'm on to step 3...
