thingy 23

I'm done! I'm really done!
Just took forever. I can't say that I have any favorite discoveries or exercises. Perhaps when I'm no longer working full time and have more than just dial up service at home, I'll have more time to play around with this stuff.
Working through this process showed me what I don't know. I'm always open to new stuff. Some of this astounds me, though. I can't believe that people spend time on this on a regular basis.
I was surprised by what's out there that was entirely new to me. I had no idea that most of this exists. That was a learning curve that I had to climb.

If I went through this process again, I'd do my part differently. Had I started by titling the blog posts with the number of the thingy, perhaps I wouldn't have gotten so lost. I had a difficult time trying to figure out which ones I had done and which were still to be done. Once I began naming them, it was somewhat easier to follow the path.
Getting into my blog in the beginning was another set back. I'd complete a thingy but then be unable to post it to my blog. Wasted effort. So some of these thingy's I've done more than once. I can't say that it made me like them any better.

It was a disappointment to me that I thought I had completed some of the thingy's and then, because I hadn't posted them to the log properly, my log was wiped out. That wasn't pleasant. Perhaps warning people that they were in error before wiping out the log would have been more helpful. I would have learned quickly and reposted to the log if someone had let me know that what I was doing was incorrect. As it happened, I had to go back and figure out which ones I had completed and repost to the log. Not an easy process and much added frustration.

I know that some people requested that we be given all the thingy's at one time in the beginning. I'm not sure that would have been helpful to me. Might have been overwhelming. Although I would have probably completed those that I was more interested in first.

Perhaps a list could have been created in the beginning and, each week when we were given a new thingy, it could have been added to the list. Week six we would have been able to see one through 6. Just like the list at the end when we could see all 23. I had much more luck traversing through the thingy's when they were all visible to me in a list.

I would take part in another program like this one. But, gee whiz, don't tell me that there are 23 more "thingy's" that I know nothing about and have to learn about???

thingy 17 wiki

I followed the directions and added an account to PLCMC Learning 2.0 wiki. Added my blog to the list of LCPL blogs. And I added to the "favorite travel sites" or whatever it's called.

thingy 13 del.icio.us

This one lost me as soon as I looked at the page. Couldn't figure out how to open the tutorial. And Learning 2.0 says, "Take a look around ... using the L2LCPL account." I couldn't figure out how to do that. It asks for a user name and password. Is L2LCPL the user name? Is so what is the password?

Anyway, if this is indeed a way to keep track of, say, all the books that I read, or all the books that I'd like to read, it might serve a purpose.

Rollyo
I can see that some might use this but don't know whether I'll actually do it.

thingy 10

Image generators.
Okay, I'll admit it. I'm just doing this to complete the task. Can't see me using image generators.

Thingy 9 Finding Feeds

Sorry, but I don't get this one. I guess I'm not doing it right but I didn't see anything that I'd want to add to My Yahoo page.
But I did another Thingy!

Thingy 11 Library thing

I'll admit that I'm rushing through this one. Have listed some of the stuff that I have currently checked out on my library card. How easy is that?
Haven't even thought about the stuff that I have at home.
