Midnight post

I have drastically cut the number of applications on Facebook from about 300 to 50. The number of requests was getting silly, and if you don't get a reply from me on a certain app, it just means one of two things: either I have not added the app, or I have just clicked through.

As far as journals are concerned, I am monitoring Call for Support daily, and will try to reestablish my reading routine. This has been disrupted by Facebook, and some attendant difficulties off-line, as I reported at the start of this week. Twitter I do not find much use for if truth be known; you'd have to monitor it continually, which I can't do. However, if you look up adb44, you'll get my postings, if and when. Many of them are directed at tweeters in the Isle of Lewis.

I have decided to ditch Open Office.org. I was processing a document that originated from Word, and it was turned into a mess that needed clearing up in Word. I've purchased a license, and now have the program in its full glory (Word, Excel and Powerpoint).

  1. I'm very comfortable with Word & Excel... wouldn't know how to use another program. = )

    I have like almost 100 requests on FB, haven't figured out how to just delete them all yet... LOL!! It's really overwhelming... but I appreciate people thinking about me.

  3. I haven't been by Facebook in some time. The app. part of that site gets off putting after a while. It's fun at first but I seriously don't have that much extra time to waste on frivolity. I rather take care of my blog and other writing ventures. (Hugs)Indigo

  4. I have a Facebook, but I don't know what the hell I'm doing with it. MySpace was SO much easier....

  5. I don't think I have any apps on FB....just don't "get it" - that part seems odd to me, and also you are pushed into sending on to other people, so not really a good indication that you are thinking about them (sorry Joann!). Well done for reining in your habit Guido!

  7. I love my microsoft office software and have recently been refreshing my Excel skills. I don't view or use very many apps in FB, about 20 in total, and not all the time. It's just too much to do. I don't think anyone gets offended if you don't reply to one; I couldn't keep track of all who did or didn't anyway. I'm trying to keep up with blogs a bit better now, and have been doing rather well this week. I am on Twitter, but don't use it much. I think it is for someone with a more on-the-go lifestyle than I have.
