Getting advanced
I have decided its about time I dragged myself into the 20th century and “get with it” so I have been thinking of ways I can use technology to improve things both on the site and offline, so I am going to try this t’internet thing first, I have always been led to believe its full of porn and bomb making instructions, so try and avoid it, but even my local corner shop is now online, ok every time I see him, he is looking at Wendy Whoppers site, but the mere fact Doris from number 23 can send a quick email asking him to put aside a loaf and paper for when she gets back from bingo means that the future is not so orange as binary.
So I get onto the net and am faced with a bewildering array of facetubes, youspaces, and social networks, arghhhhhhh im thinking at this point that maybe I should just go back to setting the timer on the video, which I can sit here very smug and say, I have….. ok that was back in 1996 and I recorded the wrong channel, but at least it went on at the correct time, I digress, now yes, so I’m looking at all these different things apparently I cant live without as everybody is doing them, and settled on one or two that ill test and maybe integrate into my site.
Another side of technology advancement I tend to ignore is the phone, as far as I’m concerned, if I can make/receive calls, and create some gogbbledeygook and send it as an sms then what more do I need?
Ah ha says the man in the shop, you need wifi to access this t’internet thing while having breakfast out, so you are up to date with the days events and the weather, personally I would rather have a bacon and egg sandwich but still, he must know best, then he points out that when I’m going anywhere, its difficult to read a map, I agree with that but point out the bus driver should know where he is going so I just follow him, no says the sales man, you need satellite navigation, not entirely sure why I need to know where a satellite is going, but he is in full flow here so I wait, and when he is finished he gives me a phone… so I thank him and ask for a satellite thingy as well, and he points out its in the phone, so when I finally work out how to switch it on, next time you call for a booking ill at least know where in Tesco I am.

Hmmm, yes. I think I know what you mean. Yesterday, I had a demonstration of Skype from my 16 year old God-daughter. While she was at it, she explained why it is different from MSN Messenger and Twitter. Right!
Well, I’m just off out now to buy some more ink for my quill pen!
