Week 7: Assessment

500 words EH! Well that was three. No wait! now its seven? Hold on that makes sixteen...Ok, this could go on for ever. Assessment time already and I can't believe how much I have learned. Yes it was painful getting my thick head around most of it at the beginning, but now it seems second nature, and what a relief. To summarise what I have done goes way beyond the shear course material and deep into the realm of computer platforms. Yes, its true I hadn't touched a Mac before rocking up to the lab on day one, and it did actually take me ten minutes to find the on button. Now more than ever I look at my PC with contempt, where is the anchor rope eyelet on this block of metal, while truly becoming a Mac convert.

Blogger; I have made a post for every week of material covered, thus totaling seven, and attempted not to compound the already tedious marking process with excessive amounts meaningless babble. At the same time a degree of creative effort was put forth to keep it light hearted and minimal, as the instructions where for a 'blog' and not a 'Splog'...Here is a Link to one of my more interesting posts. Here is a second Link just because. The blog template has been changed 3 times and the colour has moved from blue to green to blackish clouds. I have made several comments on other blogs, most not containing any interestingness, however this comment Link is not bad. Tags, got them. MPI104_2009, geotagged, delicious, CSS, Flickr and a large amount of tags in other weeks of work including the relevant / related labels. Unfortunately I find it hard to allocate time to blog aimlessly and who really cares about what I think anyway, so besides scouring through the blogger applications, widgets and goodies I have kept it to markable size.

Del.icio.us; I love this site and have added it to my own personal tool bars. It represents a great find for me since it consolidates all of my scattered website lists from three continents and provides them on demand anywhere I travel, subject to internet access of course. I have bookmarked 30 web pages for this exercise, although i have collected a great deal more under my true name profile. Some of the bookmarks that interest me are trade and industry news or production related sites that assist in my field of endeavor. The rest are of classmates blogs which provide easy direction to their pages. On my own profile the predominant interest is vast since there is no possible way to recall all of the websites for which I have interest, especially when comparing site statistics and performance.

Flickr; I did enjoy this website and spent an incalculable amount of time locating truly interesting image. Yes, I was confused about just how many we were required to add each week, but the effort was worth the end result. There are 60+ images in my photostream, 6 excellent sets of 10 images, and one small set of my personal favorites. Check them out!
