After going over the changed syllabus, I realized that we only needed to post URL's for our assignments. Even though you can get to these from previous posts, here are the URL's for all work due July 1st.

ZoomClouds, Part III: My Blog Cloud
ZoomClouds is the most frustrating thing. The site is down constantly, the code doesn't work properly, the directions are shoddy. I am not impressed. This assignment took three days of my life, and all I have to show for it are two posts that sort-of complete the assignment, a migraine, and a post-poned to-do list.
ZoomClouds, Part II: My SuprGlu Connotea/de.icio.us Cloud
It's 5pm Sunday, and this assignment is done. Because of ZoomClouds not working perfectly, I am enclosing a link to the page where I worked on my SuprGlu Cloud.
I played with two sites while working on this assignment. Feedblendr and SuprGlu both take RSS feeds and merge them, so here are links to my pages on those sites:

Well, I have been defeated and this is as good as it gets. Here is the page where I created a cloud (more to follow). I am NOT impressed with ZoomClouds and will not post a hypertext link to it's site.
I have actually seen great clouds at the Library Thing site. You can make a cloud of authors of books that you have read, and it actually looks like a cloud!

A Sense of Accomplishment
Today, I feel a sense of accomplishment. A few days ago, I had turned in "not my best work" for the Grazr assignment because for some reason I just couldn't understand it. I woke up this morning and it clicked in my mind. I redid the assignment and resubmitted it even though I had already done a previous one. It's not that I'm trying to be perfect. It's just that I really want to get the most out of these classes. I was so happy that I finally understood it!
The Koha assignment was done today, too. I really enjoyed that one. Cataloging is fun, and I have previous experience, so it was an easy assignment and a fun way to spend the afternoon. My only worry is about the subject. I used related books I had on a subject. I didn't look up a listing first. Hopefully, I did this correctly. I am waiting until tomorrow to start ZoomClouds because Dr. Tomer has found problems with it.
My reading is coming along. I have finished Siva and Litman, and now I am working on Lessig. Code: Version2.0 tonight and Free Culture tomorrow. According to my classmates, he is an enjoyable read.
Even during tonight's chat, I felt that sense of accomplishment. I didn't expect Dr. Tomer to start quizzing us, but I rose to the challenge and answered some. Good practice for the real thing!
Off to read Lessig!
