Perhaps this post should really have been entitled GTD vs the Real Time Web..

Most folks are aware of the GTD method created by David Allen and coming up fast behind in the awareness stakes is the Pomodoro technique created by Francesco Cirillo.

I’ve been culling posts left right and centre from this blog so that I can ’streamline’ the content when I merge my other blogs to it during the (hopefully soon) site redesign and update I’ve been working on. Doing so I’ve discovered many things; not least the changes in my writing style and the tone and content of the posts themselves.

This is a post about future developments in HCI from one of my studynet blogs. As my HCI exam approaches I figured – why not use it here as well? There are many of you twitterers and facebooky types interested in this too, no need just to share thoughts of this nature with the studious ones counting down to May 13th..

I try to be a good person, truly I do but maybe I’m going against human nature and that’s why I have to work so hard at it.

I was asked today to come back to the college in June (after exams etc) to give a presentation on twitter and other social media applications, this has made me go back to thinking about what is so great about twitter – why do I and others enthuse about it so much?

I’m currently in the process of sorting out a website for my ‘final’ year project, I’m using wordpress to create a site for a peripatetic music teacher based in Surrey (who just also happens to be my best friend..)

It’s been soooo long since I’ve done something this bloggy (as in community of bloggers type bloggy) I saw this on the LittleBead blog (which I found following through from her twitter page) who got it from Swirly and despite not knowing the lass (though I’m now following on twitter, gotta love the fellow beaders on the web when you find ‘em) I’m going to do a meme.

I’ve been dipping in and out of the blog and social media ’scenes’ for a while, I *know* all about how I should be optimising my website for search engines and keeping my posts organised, concise and FOCUSED – but I am not a brand, I am not a company, I am a jewellery making, blog writing, new mother and student geek, so on what am I supposed to focus?

In July I went along to an event organised by some folks I’ve come to know through using various online social media. As a direct result of that I have been offered work (paid) and participation in several interesting sounding projects (paid and unpaid) which, sadly, I’ve been unable to take up because of this gorgeous little creature

(more…)

I’m not able to speak for everyone else who attended but as far as my first social media event goes, what an absolute corker! The discussions were stimulating and the topics interesting, I’m just sorry that I couldn’t get into all of the sessions but the building was just too hot for me to risk cramming into the busiest ones as I’d doubtless have passed out and made a tit of myself..

(more…)

I’m really looking forward to mediacamp london, I’ve already spread the word facebook style but as it gets closer I’m getting all a-jiggle about it. This will be my first social media event and I’m just really looking forward to soaking up the atmosphere, conversations and hopefully learning something in the process.
I was going to drag Stef along with me as I think he’d find it interesting too but he’s got a stag do to attend so I guess I’ll be all on my lonesome – if any of you are about and at a loose end on July 5th, come down to the SAE Institute North Road, London and say hi to the dark haired fat chick waddling along the corridors – ignore any muttered curses from her direction though, that’s just a side effect of pregnancy when the unborn brat decides to use her guts as a punchbag..

..I wish *sigh*

Half the interesting ‘new media’ apps are USA based and every website I’ve looked at for things I’ve considered purchasing of late are ’ship to US only’ sites *sniff* ah well, I’ve taken to collecting pretty pictures instead with which to console myself. Let’s face it, I’m unlikely to have the cash to spend on pretty things soon, everyone seems determined to tell me how expensive childrearing will be – like I hadn’t already figured that out for myself!

The latest college assignments had me chuckling; first of all we have to keep a career planning blog, they’re trying to initiate some sort of micro social network within the group with these – at least that’s how it seems. They all have to be public, we are all supposed to keep up to date with each others progress and comment on that progress, they also want us to participate in polls and discussion boards.. This would be all fine and dandy assuming the techie responsible for setting up these career planning blogs had made it possible for us to add new entries *grin*

I’m thinking there must be something in the air, bloggers are giving away a tonne of stuff for free!

Well, not exactly for ‘free’ but there’s many a ‘blog about this and you could win..‘ type post knocking about at present. The first one I noticed was for a game – a very pretty game called Quartile I chuckled to myself and sent a tweet out about it, it looks like it could be interesting to play and if it truly can help you with mental arithmatic then it’s something I could definitely do with *grin*

We got back to Manchester sometime around 3am Wednesday morning, I have to say, I missed my pc.. Not because it’s a great pc – far from it, but because it has all my files and bookmarks in situ, which is why today I sat and weeded out all the useless stuff and dead links I’ve bookmarked over the last three years and added both ‘bookmark duplicate detector‘ and ‘Foxmarks bookmark synchronizer‘ to my list of ‘must have’ firefox add ons.

I’m not entirely sure why but this blog has had an explosion of visitors of late – I can only assume twitter and the socialset site have something to do with it..

I signed up with Peopleized in order to suss out it’s potential in the social networking stakes and decided that it doesn’t matter, it’s kind of fun and interesting in it’s own right – as are the people already registered.

I’ve spent most of the evening writing and re-writing a question on twitter over at the socialset blog and this post is kind of an addendum to it..

I’ve been boning up on social networks and the people who run and use them for a few weeks now and I’ve barely scratched the surface – even though I’ve been using these sites myself for years.

I’ve just come across this site and I have to say.. What a brilliant idea.

The redfootrevolution is here. There is nothing worse than that crippling sensation at the end of the night if you’ve been wearing heels – I was recently reminded of this after wearing an old pair for the first time in over a year.. Ouch.

You know, I’ve never ‘got’ the whole ‘web 2.0′ thing. I know there’s a big hue and cry about it, anyone who’s anyone in the net media seems to be throwing out kudos here and opinions there about it but really, it’s just another buzzword.
It doesn’t mean a damned thing – if it did the average surfer would understand what it means instantly – but we don’t.

(more…)

As most of you know I had this blog over at blogger originally, I remember when RSS feeds were the new shiny thing to come out and everyone was talking about ‘em. At that time though, I didn’t pay much attention because I just didn’t ‘get’ what they were or what was so good about them.

(more…)

Twitter is better than any of the social networking sites for finding like minded people to ‘talk’ to, it’s even good for finding random strangers to follow just for the sake of procrastination, The only problem is.. You then start ‘talking’ to those random strangers and develop a relationship of sorts.
As an example, when I first signed up with twitter I’d follow the public time line because of the novelty and a few comments piqued my interest enough to make me ‘follow’ a random stranger – that was Dan.

Nik aka loudmouthman has become my net pusher.

At least that’s the byline Geni.com uses.

I blame Nik for the argument I had with my gran this afternoon. He was the person who posted the geni link on twitter and so he’s the one who has to await the karma bite back *grin*

It’s odd isn’t it, that we can appear one way to to a vast majority of people online and yet somehow, should we meet those people, the way we appear is almost totally at odds with that former representation.

No.. Really. Stop laughing! I am. I have proof.

You see, my previous post was just a fly by thought, since then a few more things have occurred to me that tend to confirm that thought as a valid one.

Seriously, that thought just raced across my mind as I was looking around for new things to put on my blog. (you know, toys as opposed to content – I’m selfish like that)

Woohoo! Right, that actually turned out to be easier than I thought – why I kept putting it off I don’t know..

..The latest things to keep me occupied online.

Facebook is probably something most of you already know about (and if so, why have you not invited me into your network *shakes head in disgust*) it’s a social network site but it certainly beats faceparty/ facepic/ lookitsme and the like hands down.
It has the option to create photo albums, leave ‘notes’ (very twitter like) and you can leave comments (like myspace but without the bugs and viruses) it’s a very friendly piece of kit and me likee muchly, I’ve also found several people on there that I lost contact with a while back through the groups option. Yup, if you’re not on facebook you’re wasting your time *grin*

(more…)

I didn’t get to have my driving lesson after all, pain interrupted my plans.

Seriously, I’m starting to feel a little paranoid, though to be fair that could just be residual pms. But since I’ve been trying to sort out getting a licence for a number of years now and each time I’ve been thwarted by finances or health issues, I am really considering the thought that just maybe it’s not meant to be..
So, I turned to the net to ease my woes, and it worked, I calmed down, life seemed brighter – the way it always does online until microsoft kicks in and the pc crashes or refuses to boot up the program I need and taunts me with the pretty blue screen of death.
Seriously.. Who the hell chose BLUE as the default colour for that screen? Surely red is a far more appropriate choice?! Or green? Green is supposed to be calming isn’t it? I’m sure that’s the real reason computers used to have green screens (at least my dads did, I think it was an amstrad.. But I digress..)

By ‘here’ I of course mean my email address, I managed to jump on the gmail bandwagon pretty early on when it was considered a great thing to get an invite (just before everyone had so many they couldn’t give ‘em away) now I may have to be changing things a bit according to a post I just read on the wiredhound blog (another MBL browse by)

I received an email earlier from Dio over at Quasi Fictional asking me to write a post answering the question “What is a blog to you?” since said email was also peppered with such flattering phrases as ‘guru blogger’ and the insinuation was made that I am one of those almighty figures referred to as a ‘renowned blogger’ (I know, I nearly wet myself laughing at this point too) I figured, what the heck – a post is a post right?

I really need my mind to kick into fully functioning mode so I can update wordpress, add all the little widgets I’ve had my eye on – and more importantly.. Get my twitterbox up and running.
I can’t believe I’m admitting this but I think I’m hooked on twitter.
It’s just random people spouting random crap about whatever they happen to be thinking as they sit at the keyboard – or not, and yet I keep going back for more. I have zero interest in what joe bloggs ate for lunch, or even on the dilemma of susie neutrals wardrobe choices.. But I can’t turn the damned thing off!

(more…)

It seems life does come full circle – even when it’s a virtual life.

I’m blaming Master K for this of course, he talked me into joining the twitter thing which in turn had me noticing a few other people on there, this in turn had me checking their blogs – which then had me link travelling.

Can you believe the reason I cannot log into my web account is because my host took it upon themselves to change my log in details without informing me?

(more…)

GRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.. Some sneaky little witch has locked me out of my account – I cannot do a DAMNED thing on my website, it’s either been hacked or my blokes attempts to retrieve something I had stored on the host have buggerd it up – he’s only just told me he tried logging in before we went away.. I really hope it is that simple, he’s just tried several log ins and it’s locked me out for security reasons, I’d hate to think I have to reload all my files just to ensure no malicious code has been installed..

Well, not really a dirty weekend, but it sounds good *grin*

One of Stef’s friends got married on Saturday, we had to go really – he made Stef do a reading at the wedding (which he got through in magnificent style despite his qualms about using the word ‘foibles’ *chuckle*) When we tried to book a room at the hotel where the wedding was being held there seemed to be none available so we booked a cottage in West Aukland instead:

I’ve had to escalate the paypal dispute to claim status.

I’m seriously wondering if it’s worth all the hassle – it’s even causing rows between me and Stef now and that’s pissed me off more than anything else. I think I’ll be laying off eBay for quite some time now – I just can’t afford this kind of stress.

Before you read any more of the saga you probably need to go here.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I’ve actually found a site that gives you money for writing things. seriously, you just write a review about practically anything and they pay you for it – and if people read, rate and comment on the review.. so much tha better, more mulah for you.

I’ve been toying with the idea for some time now of trying to sell some of my creations on Ebay since there’s really nothing else I can do to raise money and fund my hobby, this has led to me also thinking of ways to link my website and make it do something useful as opposed to just sit there.

I’m starting to remember why I stopped using blogexplosion.
My stats are hardly worth looking at due to the hundreds of people skipping through in a mad click frenzy. I only went on there because I got an email about a message – then I thought I’d go check out the people I had blogmarked only to find most of ‘em have either given up blogging completely or moved.
Sadly this means that all my accrued credits seems to have been activated and I’m being paraded in front of people who are too busy looking at the countdown timer to give a stuff about anything else.

Hmm… I’m beginning to think that Google are trying to take over the webiverse.
I know – you already knew that, what can I say? I’m a little slow.
Anyhow, if you want to try the new google talk thing but seem to be lacking a gmail account (um…Why?) don’t worry – both K and I can hand ‘em out like toffee.

I began thinking earlier of just how much time I would have to myself if I gave up the internet.
Now, I know that the time I spend online these days is but a mere fraction of the time I’d spend this time last year, but it is still quite a substantial portion of my life.

another shift, another coffee with baileys as reward upon my return home… (the whipped cream topping is what makes it a treat) as always the need to unwind after work also involves a short (yep, i said short) internet session (after all who could sleep without checking for messages..?)
i decided that i should have a quick shufties though my faves list since a few of the links may have become a bit ‘deaded’ by now, this is where i re-acquainted myself with teamfishcake, this guy is my favourite person – if anyone feels the way i do about christmas and has ever had to endure the trafford centre, you too will hold him up as the hero he is.
in fact, this site is so amusing i shall cut this short and sweet… read a little more then hit the sack. i have shopping and ‘things’ to do tomorrow, yes i have to wean myself off the net it is probably time for me to take the words of master B. Murray to heart and ‘Get a life’.
LMAO – like THAT’S gonna happen!
P.S. ALL parents need to read THIS. Its mandatory.

Karaoke competition tonight. hmmm… still dont know what i want to sing, never a good thing – after all preperation is the key *grin*
Thats the problem with knowing and liking too many songs, im a good singer, not fantastic – nowhere near as good as i used to be, but i have a good sense of rhythm, decent pitch and a lot of power… shame about the control and the range though lol so far its looking likely that i’ll end up doing good ol’ “Mustang Sally” but then again… if i hadnt have already sung total eclipse of the heart there last week… decisions decisions decisions…

(more…)

AHhhhhhhh..
how odd, i have managed to find things to do other than just sitting in front of my pc for 3 (yes, THREE!!!) whole days. the mind boggles.. truly.
(although i did check my messages and send the odd email before bed and upon waking so i suppose i havent managed to wean myself away just yet…).
Tribeca is a fantastic place to go, not only is the upstairs bit PURPLE LEATHER but they have a basement level called ‘Bed’ where they have a karaoke on a tuesday… it rocks, much fun was had by all – even M (which i think made up for the birthday fiasco) last night a friend came up to visit me from Daventry (i grew up there, its a hell hole, never go.) he introduced me to the dubious pleasures of Ebay, now… you may ask yourself how ive been online so long without actually using this site, the answer is simple – i have nothing to sell, and no money to buy. though there were some very nice bikes on there…
Decided to forgo selling my book collection on ebay despite the urgings of P and S (mainly since im more likely to sell my body and soul than part with any of them) instead chose to look up some more music stuff but got sucked into an article about the legality of p2p music downloads instead.
had yet ANOTHER person nag at me about getting some of my poetry published so my next entry to this will be a poem. by me. next time i get told to ‘publish’ i shall merely smile and say that i have done so already. (not exactly a falsehood, check here under the name vicky stringer, im the one with jane in the middle. its all a diddle of course, virtually everything i have on here has been stuck in one of their books – apparantly, they keep emailing me and sending me letters out – ive even been nominated for poet of the year 3 years running – would seem more impressive if i didnt think everyone who submits a poem to this site gets entered alongside me…)

Got a lift home at around 8.30 this morning, actually slept through till just gone 4 this afternoon… disgusting *grin* the life of the unemployed huh?
currently listening to Def Leppard’s ‘Love Bites’ ahhhhhhhhhh… the memories…
but enough of that, have discoverd a new site to pique my interest (and there are sooooo many.. the net rocks!) i came across it after something i read on this site led me to do a google search for monkeys… you would be AMAZED at the stuff you get up for the oddest words – i have been known on the odd occasion (when extremely bored) to just type a random word into search engine and see what it brings up, cool way of finding obscure sites (im sure im not alone in this)
Had to give directions to my new house again… i finally gave up trying to explain where i was in relation to the only landmark j knew and directed him to the R.A.C website to use their route finder (hours of fun to be had with that, the stalkers tool *grin* assuming you can convince your subject to give up their postcode…)
i may be getting a webcam soon – should prove to be fun… how ive managed to escape this phenomena in the time ive spent online i’ll never know, but Y has offered to lend me his on a tryout basis as he rarely uses it anymore, it’ll make T happy anyhow, she keeps whining that i have to join her in a cam chat room – im a little dubious but i’ll try anything once…

I am an awful person.
my mates birthday today, i was supposed to spend the evening with him, chilling, feeding and watching a dvd (he’s 29 today, poor lad thinks he’s getting old and doesnt want to go out LOL) sadly, im having to let him down.
I recieved a telephone call from the delightful L offering me a shift at the uni – WORK!!!
i eagerly grasped at the offered hours like a drunk would the last glass of gin in the known universe, only to realise after hanging up the phone what this would do to the aforementioned plans.
Arse.
Still, he’s a forgiving sort is our M. Besides, the housemate should be home before i leave so im sure that, boys being boys, they’ll end up on the x-box or something…

have yet to go to bed… whoops *blushes* once again the curse of IM becomes apparant… where are my lost hours? i know i have done something more constructive than drinking with my time (until i managed to completely crash my other pc *sniff*) besides conversing with intelligent beings i have spent most of the evening checking for music software until the guilt of being unemployed kicked in and i once again turned to my hunt for work
*cue violins…
after fruitlessly searching the database, i decided to take a much needed break and visit coffeebreakarcade sadly, as always – this turned into a much longer break than intended. (mainly due to being distracted by the animated episodes of ‘clerks’ that my beloved housemate has on dvd – the problem with temporarily housing the pc in the front room…)
then a friend foolishly started bemoaning their lack of interesting contacts on faceparty, this then triggerd a massive rant on the sorry state of affairs there these days.
Why DO guys only look at the pictures..? if i have to get ONE MORE message off some testosterone laden pinprick saying:
“WOW, you are FINE! fancy a chat? i’d love to meet up some time and get to know you better…”
GGRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrr… *cue much gnashing of teeth and bestial grunting in a wrathful type manner…
Does that actually work in real life? what on earth makes them think it’ll work online? or a better question – how do they even know that its me in the pics? seriously, sometimes im sooooo tempted to source some very real looking pics and play with someones mind…
ah well, maybe one day my sadistic side will reign supreme and i’ll follow through on this urge.
till then i shall merely laugh at the various postings on b3ta and wonder at the surreal thought processes of some of those people…

ahhh friday night,
its absolutely pissing it down out there, its cold and windy – and even if i had the slightest inclination to leave the warm, the mental image of the leering drunkards packed into every pub and club is enough to deter me… besides, ive found another interesting site to occupy my time.
im sat here typing and telling the three people using messenger about the blog, i fail to see how any of my friends havent mentioned this to me before, the links, the tales, the sheer idiocy i could have passed on to the faceless few who may stumble across this… it seems such a waste of my former virtual life.
ah well…
juct told C to check out this lovely little link about Lenore my housemate has some fantastic graphic novels (about 80 or so) and amongst them are a couple of Roman Dirge classics, he passed this onto me so i could see her in animated form. they ROCK.
ive also had to enlighten YET ANOTHER bod about my fave artist who has recently relocated to canada… lucky man
still, since said housemate is sat watching transformers i suppose i should actually do something constructive with my time and have another look at web design ive been talking about setting up my own site for so long.. its about time i actually did something about it.

My name’s vicky and im an addict.
i mean this sincerely – its a harmless addiction, physically non-invasive yet it permeates my entire being with such an intense feeling of relief and joy when i use… seriously. the worst admission i must make now is that through my usage – i have become a pusher…
the product?
well… its not that simple. you see its quite insidious.
*hangs head in shame
for 4 years now i have been a fulltime internet user. the sites, the sounds, the thrill of the keyboard – to me it is heaven sublime. in the space of net i am free. yet sadly it does not end there. i have managed to infect various friends and family members with this disease… the main vehicle for infection has been faceparty *holds head in hands and starts softly weeping
I know, i know. but it never used to be the way it is now there – honestly *thinks back to the golden time before msn closed their rooms of chat (and misses the abuse and the hellifiknowquiz rooms that were such a joy to frequent on the odd occaision)
ah well…
i just wonder why everyone online seems to be searching for someone to take away from the net. i love it here, let me stay…
