reworkings

I was on the verge of starting a few new blogs - one for my photography, one for the home learning and one for my education consultancy work...

but wait a minute - that was the old lou (the librarian who wanted to classify and compartmentalise her life)...

so I've decided to stick with this one, tag like a demon and hope that the whole comes together...

I have spent the last few years banging on about an holistic approach to learning... so let's see if the pudding is good.

I mix all these aspects of my life together and each enriches the other - so this year I'm going to give it a try...

I'm not fully convinced yet (with serious control freakish tendancies) - a big part of me wants to add classification (of the faceted kind of course) and labels...

why am I taking this approach - well it's partly to do with the twitter discussions at james clay's blog

I'm of the lets mix it all up variety - yes I want to hear great brains thinking hard but I like to know that those great brains drink coffee, go shopping, and play bingo.

now I'd like to add a photo of me playing bingo but I haven't got one - yet... so I could show a photo of a coffee cup but I haven't got one - yet... so here is a fisheye lens lomo 35mm film shot of the window in my office...



and if you haven't got twitter yet - you are not alone but spend a day using twitterfox and you'll probably get it...

and if you do come along and follow me... but not in a stalking way of course...

stutterings

A strange day full of airports, phone calls, worrying and trying to stay focussed. Maybe this will all be explained but probably not today. The stutterings title refers to the faffing I've had to do today.

Ok I know I'm demanding but I really want tagclouds on my blog - it's the librarian in me. I need some kind of retrieval system especially as I've started by deliberately mixing up my posts. This is an EXTREME experiment for me who would ideally like a blog for personal stuff, a blog for work stuff and blog for studying stuff. I'm trying to stop the separation thing but this may not work. What if, for example, my work colleagues saw something about me personally that they didn't need to know, such as my penchant for dressing up in uniforms (pretend example of course - I dress up in much more interesting stuff really).

In order to maintain order ( and yes this is very important) I need tag clouds...

So I found the fantastic tagclouds.com site and did as they asked.

I also added a different feed to my blog using feedburner.com.

I'm no techie but I can cut and paste html like the rest or so I thought. So either I've done it all wrong or it takes time and more content to show a real live cloud.

Looking forward to the day when I see the tag uniforms appear large in my cloud...

If you've never seen a tagcloud then look at the fantastic my del.icio.us

photo for today is of my son and called too bright. It fits today for me - trying to run before.... the future's bright - I just need to catch up.
