Thing 6

Well, I just read the part about instant messaging and I must say that when I got to the part about the slang used in chat rooms I realized either how old I’m getting or how little I use computers, because I had no idea of any of the forms used even after reading the HowStuffWorks.com page. No, wait, that’s a lie, I knew :), but that was it. So I don’t know if it is going to be a good idea for me to try instant messaging, but I’ll give it a shot. About that, are we gonna start IMing anytime soon?
I think that the use of e-mail in the library has had a positive impact in every department. It allows us to communicate with our co-workers and other departments in a more effective, faster way than traditional letters or face-to-face interactions ever could.
I have used text messaging before, and I really liked it. The only turnover I find with it is the fact that if you lose track of the current text-messaging language is really difficult to get back to it. And I haven’t used IM yet, but all I’ve seen about it tells me that it’s a great thing and we should implement it in the library. That way, when we’re sending e-mails that require an answer, instead of having to wait for the others to write us back, we would get their answer instantly, making everything even faster.

Thing 4



Here is the picture I chose from Flickr. The photographer? Jose Ramon. For some reason the URL doesn't want to appear, so here it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/joseeivissa/3022730675/sizes/m/

Trading card


Well, I finally got my trading card. Man, you can waste so much time going through all the stuff they have on that web page. And I haven't seen everything yet ;-)

5th Thing

I went to the web page where we are supposed to make a trade card and stuff, but when I saved it and put it on my blog, the picture was so small you could barely see it and there wasn't any way to make it bigger. I deleted it and now I'm trying to make it again in a different way to see if it changes anything. I'll put it up as soon as I finish it.
