Ian+Gay

Your Name
//My name is Ian Gay and until recently I was Librarian/Tech person at Newtown North P.S.// I have just retired (or separated from the Department as they prefer to see it) and am fairly excited about the future. I intend to work casually (some people may not recognise the difference :) and am interested in virtually all areas of ICT with my latest obsession being animation.

My Shared Resources:
//My Blog's Title:// I have many experimental blogs and wikis but none really ready to share.

My Twitter: [] My Twitter Activity: //I am still trying to see the full value of Twitter//. I appreciate many of the links etc I get but am often confounded by a lot of the other more trivial info. I will concede that possibly I haven't given Twitter a full trial as I don't follow a large number of people. I get embarrassed sometimes about seeming to be always taking but not giving

My Facebook: a slight problem with my facebook account, the original URL I had wasn't me (someone with the same name). I get to my account by logging in but the URL is not a simple name. Will update when I sort it. My Facebook Activity: //My Facebook account is just started, mostly because my son has just gone overseas and he was going to keep in touch through Facebook. Note my Facebook profile is not accurate as I still have reservations about birthdays etc on the internet//. At this stage I am enthused by what I see of Facebook and can understand its appeal but am not sure how much i personally will use it.

My YouTube: //[[//[|//http://youtube.com///] //I don't have a YouTube account. Started to once but found the whole process a bit much and gave up.// My YouTube Activity: //I do love YouTube though and can see huge value on a personal and educational level. I also keep wondering; "is that breaking copyright?"//

My Flickr: //[[//[|//http://flickr.com///] //No flicker account. I am considering it but still have reservations about putting personal photos on the internet.// My FlickerActivity: //Finding images occasionally. (it's blocked at school which I find frustrating)//

My Shared Bookmarks: [] I love Delicious and am trying to get more of my staff to use it. My account above is mostly for my school life with some personal stuff. For anyone new to delicious, one mistake I feel that I have made is that I have way too many tags, with many of the tags being virtual duplicates e.g. maths, math or mathematics. I am now much more careful with tags trying to stick to a smaller number of broader categories. I also probably don't use the comments box enough (as in never :/ )
