Week 8, Thing 18 On-Line Aps

Oh! Now this I can relate to. My computer, for another job, crashed a couple of years ago. Much to my dismay, I realized that this donated computer did not have backup disks for Microsoft Word, and Excel. What to do? I knew we didn't have the money to purchase new software but I had to access the files NOW! The hero of the day?.....Google aps. I downloaded this freeware and was on my way. It did the job. No fancy fonts to choose from, and very basic tools, but I was able to continue working. I have since purchased Microsoft software for Word, Excel but in a pinch, freeware really helps.

Week 5, Thing 12 Rollyo

I've jumped around so much that now I'm having to go back and fill in the "things" I didn't do. Hence Thing 12...Rollyo.
I created a Rollyo search engine for travel and food sites...two of my favorite pass times! I don't know if I'll really use it. It's one of those things that I might use if I remember to. I can see it's usefullness for someone that is constantly using the same sites to search for information, say stock quotes, but for me...we'll see. Here's mine http://rollyo.com/hmays/travel_food_search/

Week 6, Thing 13 Del.icio.us

Is it just me, or am I creating web page after web page of my interests? I get the principle and see it's use, but in conjunction with all the other stuff I've created, I just feel I'm wasting time. I don't mind the creation, I just want it ALL on one page or at least in a relational format when I'm through. That way I'm not going from site to site adding links to my other creations. Does this make sense? Well, at any rate, I set up my Delicious acct and have added a couple of links to it. http://del.icio.us/hmays1
