WEEK 4: RSS Feeds

Not happy Jan! I am now sliding behind this programme. Too much to fit into the 2 weeks either side of a weekend shift ie. four day week either side, staff meetings, day senior shifts, rostering problems, maintenance men, students and an author talk... Then the RSS tasks. No sound on my PC so cannot listen to podcasts. Tried to add RSS sites and that doesn't work either - with Elizabeth O. helping too! The frustration meant that I went for a walk on Wednesday after work on the foreshore at St Kilda which was far, far preferable to sitting at a computer and tearing my hair out. It was better for my health, I enjoyed being near the water, walking and listening to the sound of waves. I will always enjoy the sea more than sitting at a computer and filling in hours of aimless activity that way. I will always enjoy communicating with people directly, having a lively conversation or even a telephone conversation. As I read in a recent article written by someone who has given up their FB account (they actually thought about it a great deal) this is not social networking/communicating, it is "broadcasting" plain and simple.
