So I’ve spent hours over the last week or so, back with “Thing 10“ – Tagging and Del.icio.us, I just can’t stop. Doing the “25 things @ Huddersfield” has made me look much more closely at the way I use the Internet and all it’s resources, tagging ,categorising,separating,combining… it’s all become a bit of an obsession – Whats Work, Whats Personal, where does one start and the other end – well for me I don’t think there is a beginning and an end, the more I try to separate resources, the more I realize they overlap and blur .
So …next I set about making the most of my blurry edges, and, using the Things I’ve learnt so far, making sure I can access all my Internet resources where ever I am.
1st rationalise, my email accounts, I still have let me see….2 blueyonder accounts, 1 fsmail account (used mainly for all those website registrations that have spam written all over them, particually shopping websites, 2 uni emails (1 for me, 1 for the hub – 3 if you count the ada e-learning mail account I share) and finally 2 Gmail accounts.
It was the Gmail accounts that were causing confusion since they both come with an iGoogle acount and all the add ons that go with it and you can only log into 1 at a time. I set up message filters for the emails along with automatic tags on messages, amalgamated all my iGoogle bar widgets etc into 1 iGoogle account and gave admistration rights to my blogger account to the second iGoogle acount also.
This means i can now administrate all from one iGoogle login including this wordpress blog, and my desimeleon del.icio.us account.
More about my addiction to my iGoogle account on a seperate page.
My God……you’re making me tired just reading about what you’ve been up to with your computer……put it down!!!!
The family’s said stuff like that to… they call it my best friend
