I...

I have decided this entry will have paragraphs that all begin with 'I' - after all this blog is all about me!!!!

I have been getting some of those thoughts out and into draft forms, but it is more of a slow trickle - not what you'd expect to issue from a vortex!

I had a lot of trouble with accessing FC this week which stilted the flow a little as I spent a lot of time achieving not a lot! I take comfort from the comments of others to know that I have not been alone, others have experienced the same, and I finally got it sorted with the help of the Ultraversity Community sharing with me the benefit of their wisdom.

I'm really getting to like the way you can post a comment and get such helpful responses. To me, it seems there are huge benefits to the online community. Whilst individuals could get lost out in the cold on a university campus, never quite managing to link up with like minded fellows, the online aspect is a very real solution which does not allow this to happen.

I've noticed from discussions on Plone & FC that we all seem to be getting more focussed every day. Very reassuring!

I'm hoping to get the trickle flowing a little faster this weekend! With some quiet time lined up, who knows what can be achieved... until you try! So off I go, getting it all together, just a little bit more...

We're Rolling!

We're rolling and drowning in a sea of litte red flags. I find it very interesting that we are just plunged in there... to sink or swim... they say it's the best way to learn... in at the deep end and all that!

Being the retriever I am it is instinctive to read all the posts in First Class, and all the threads attached to them. However, I have come to the conclusion that there would never be enough hours in the day to do so and have very quickly become selective in what I 'mark as read' and what I actually read!

I have however found some very entertaining ideas in the Music and Social conferences which have amused all the family...

As to the work... it's accumulating thoughts that are swirling in my mind... I'm hoping that soon they will gather together in a vortex that will issue from me such virtuous prose, both in discussion(verbal and virtual) and on paper(the virtual kind of course, with a few paper copies printed out along the way)! If I can only get some quiet time to let them out!

We can only hope, can't we...

Tsunami Time

Hi there! & welcome to my blog!

It’s the Labrador Retriever here – testing your memory – do you remember what I said before! No matter if you don’t.

I have decided to use Tsunami Time as the name of my blog because I feel that like a tsunami, this degree is life changing - once encountered, life will never be the same again and… well… I feel sure that you all have plenty of vision to end that sentence to your own liking!
