TTWF rocks. I know that you have been waiting for the latest outcome of TTWF, and I am here to tell you that I did have a participant and it went well. I know that it is not that well-received, but I will continue the endeavor because I feel it is important to offer. I worked with Movie Maker again with a class, and I must tell you that the industry needs to standardize codecs. They cause more problems, and I do remember that audio codecs used to cause a lot of problems. At least that has stabilized to some degree. I am a firm believer in standardizing things because the average person finds all of the different technological quirks to be cumbersome and frustrating. It needs to happen. People will eventually not use products who use proprietary code. Microsoft is finding this out more and more and has lost a lot of its base because of this. Google has gained a tremendous share of the fan base because it will not dwell in that realm, although I am beginning to see a change there to some degree. Hey, back tomorrow...............flick

A two-hour delay gives me the right time to finish installing the software. I got it all done, but the compressed schedule also makes it a very busy time to deal with all sorts of problems. It will all get accomplished I keep telling myself. I know that my writings have been sparse this week, but it is really because I have been dealing with the mundane problems I should not have to do. It is called circumstances, and the needs outweigh the description. It is getting close to my year celebration, and I invite all of my readers to attend the gala party being thrown by Google in my honor of this milestone. Hold it, I just woke up from the dream. It is hard to believe that it has been a year since I began the endeavor of a blog. I have enjoyed this journey and will continue until my tenure has elapsed. Talk to you tomorrow.......flick

I had a meeting this morning with my counterpart in the elementary, and it was quite productive in that we were able to network. I found out that we face a lot of the same challenges, which is good. Sometimes it feels like one is stuck on an island. I spent most of the day troubleshooting problems and got most of them worked out. One major problem I am having is with a lappy that does not want to open a program outside of school. I will find the answer. Oh, I was emailed a vid by the techie that has shades of 1984 written all over it. You will see what I mean.

I enjoyed the video, but it does make one think. I am to do a PhotoStory presentation tomorrow for a LA class which is doing logical fallacies in advertising. I am looking forward to doing it and showing the teacher and students some of the neat things that can happen; well, it will happen if we have school. It does not look good weather-wise. I also find it hard to believe that I am somewhat addicted to my blog. It is difficult to have time to reflect, and I use this for that reason. It also gives me a chance to go back and jog the ol' noodle about thangs.
