Odd...

Okay, I sent my email for the Remember The Milk assignment, and not only did my name and task show up on the list, my email signature showed up on the list in six different places. Hmmm... If I have time this week I'll try the telephone thing. I really like the idea of using an online list with a phone. It's good to know what tools are out there and being used by people, too. Okay, I signed in and figured out how to delete the lines that were my email signature. I also gave my task a due day, and since it was a weekly task I set it to recurr.

Meanwhile, I added some photos of the dogs to flickr.com and tagged them barneypup, and sure enough, they're now showing up in the slideshow.

Moment of Dogster Fun

Just posted Barney and Chelsea's pages on Dogster. Here's Barney's Page. And here's Chelsea's Page.

Make Your Dog Famous!

Allright, maybe small-time fame, but, nonetheless, wouldn't you like to see your dog's cute mug come up in my blog's sidebar slideshow??? Come on - I know you want to. Here's how. Add the photo(s) of your dog to your Flickr.com account and give them the tag "barneypup." The way the slide show is set up, this should automatically get your photos to appear in the slide show. Anyone wanna try it and see if it works?

Instant Messaging Unlike Instant Coffee

Okay, last Friday Katherine, Terry and I were all at Sequoya working at separate computers and figured out enough to IM each other using Meebo and Yahoo accounts. It wasn't easy, and took quite a while to do, but we did it. The actual messaging may be instant, but the set up seems to take a chunk of time, and I still don't have a working Meebo widget, but have a guess why that might be. Meanwhile, the slideshow on my blog is now up and working, so if you'd like your dog's pic.s to appear, simply tag your dog's photo in Flickr with the tag "barneypup" and it'll appear in the slideshow.

Sharing

Hey Everybody,
Chelsea and Barney would like to share their slide show space with your dogs. Here's the easiest way to do this. Add the photo(s) of your dog to your Flickr.com account and give them the tag "barneypup." The way the slide show is set up, this should automatically get your photos to appear in the slide show. Anyone wanna try it and see if it works? And, hey, please don't any wise crackers out there add barneypup tags to, say, cat photos, flower photos, shoe tread photos, you get my drift. Thanks!

The Stars of this Blog

Here are a few more photos of the stars of this show!

Almost...

Well, Barney made it in the car for 3 hours without getting sick, then when we were two blocks from our destination, he lost it. Eeuuuw! Poor Chelsea just turned her back on it. The next two legs of our trip we gave Barney a low dose of Pet Calm and he slept through the driving -easier on us and on him.

Now, a few things I've gotten out of Project Play: I'm posting more links to fun web sites for teens on MPLs "Teen Topix" blog. I've begun a wiki for family use. I keep adding good dog books to Library Thing.

Questions: Can I create more than one list of books on Library Thing? I'd like to keep track of books I give to the kids in my life, but don't want to add the titles to the list of dog books I have going. Also, has anyone created a slideshow using flickr? I mean like the one I have in the sidebar of my blog. If you know how to do it, could you share? Also, what's a good way to ask "help" type questions in flickr?

TIA (which is an abbreviation for "Thanks in advance" and not my name - I used to think there were an awful lot of librarians named Tia...)
