Week Two - Zamzar


The amazing Zamzar! What a useful website this is, no fancy do-dahs, just easy to use and very useful.
I actually began playing with Zamzar in week one when I first saw it. I converted an image from bmp to jpeg. That worked fine so this week I did the pdf to doc thing, also fine.
The really neat thing about Zamzar happened yesterday. A customer had a Works format file which doesn't work on the Learn.net but with a quick zap of Zamzar to a doc file she was able to use her file.

Quote for the week, relevant to nothing except I just read it in a book about the benefits of disorder and liked it.

"If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk?"

Week One


Web 2 - Week 1 - Blogging time

Here we are again.
Once again I shall start each blog with an attractive picture and end with an inspirational quote (even if I have to make it up).
What to blog about? The school holidays? Over and done with till next time. The public toilets have been 'redecorated' by the teens, so thoughtful of them.
I am doing this blog in Google Docs and am rather concerned to see the banner that says 'Google Docs is not supported in your browser'. Does this mean I won't be able to use my Google Docs anymore?

Inspirational quote for week one.
" Sometimes I aim to please but mostly I just shoot to kill "
