Click to Mix and Solve

My First Animoto



Mmm, It takes a while to create one of these Animoto critters, but it certainly is exciting to see what it will do with your images and music - they are all auto-mixed. I think I prefer PhotoStory or MovieMaker and the like where you have more control over the final product, but the thrill here is the unexpected. The link with Blogger was very clear and efficient - Animoto took just a few seconds to send over to Blogger and have it ready for viewing in this blog.
(thanks to Marg O'Connell for some of the images I've used)

Saw these adds in a street in Chennai. Sounds like a good job doesn't it - about $600/month. My guess is that may be reasonable income here, but I'll check. Funny there's no mention of driving Australian people crazy...after the way Mohammed Haneef was treated that might solicit a few more interested takers.

Springcast

You too, can Springdoo

Getting Up Close and Friendly with Your Helpdesk

I'm adding this here because

1) it's funny. (Communication with Indian Call Centres is a fact of daily life Australia these days.)

2) Marlene requested that I add it to my blog so it could be seen behind TAFE firewalls.

So Marlene - your wish is my command. Let me know if it works.

Talking about Webheads

Sue Waters, a friend and colleague in Perth, has posted a conversation about Webheads that took place in Perth in May on her wonderful Mobile Technology in TAFE podcast site. I think I was a bit grumpy and a little cocky - it sounds like people had to drag the information out of me. I know I was very tired at the time....
