Module 3 Tasks: Legal Issues

Having checked with the relevant legislative bodies, my blog is not in contravention on any level.

I have not used any images or words that contravene copyright laws.

I would not be in contravention if I used the Curtin logo, so long as I acknowledged and obtained that permission to do so was granted.If it was not, I should not use it.

Module 3 Tasks: HTML

Have spent numerous hours trying to get Notepad to work, no luck, even the IT gurus had a go, they blame Vista, in fact they blame everything on Vista!! Have done the tutorials on-line but cannot duplicate process on my machines, and they are both now Vista OS.Hmmmm....

Module 2 Tasks: ICQ

See comments on 1st post for today about my history with chat tools: I also have used and still use MSN, Yahoo, Skype ( Chat and VOIP).I even lost a BF to ICQ - he met someone on-line.
I cannot d/l any new s/w on this PC, so will need to finish this on my PC later.

I'm back 23.5.07

ICQ 6 update installed.

ICQ# 463102268

Added 24 ICQ's that I could locate in Net11 threads.And left message on discussion board to same.

Passed the self-test,although the ICQ # was out of date, but the self-test didn't know that, but these things happen.

From research of students ICQ profiles, some students are obviously high-end users of ICQ utilising all the features and 'bells and whistles' offered by the facility. Others are either quite low-end users or keep private information to the bare minimum in the public domain. Wise choice indeed. My fave part of ICQ is being able to have a status facility so you know where people are or are not, saves sitting about waiting for responses.

I used to use ICQ quite a bit until I started working in offices that either restricted access to ICQ or used other instant chat, like Skype or MSN or Talisma.

Module 2 Tasks: Newsgroups

Stay tuned - must be at my Outlook to d/l and am away and can't use up some poor persons d/l allowance.I'll get back to this shortly...

I'm back: 23.5.07

Hi I have recently registered on this website and it has been really a great help and furnishing the 'Uni' house my son is sharing with other students. Check out http://www.e-cycled.com/ Just because something isn't worth selling doesn't mean it's worthless. Don't throw it away, put it on e-Cycled! e-Cycled is a safe, easy and FREE way to get in touch with people in your area who are looking for things you don't need any more, and that you want to give away for free. It takes just a few easy steps to register and then create a listing. Visitors to the site who are interested in the items you have listed can then use the links to email you to arrange collection or ask a question. You can list all sorts of things on e-Cycled: furniture, electrical goods, books and CDs, clothing, whatever you like! Cheers

Module 2 Tasks: Email lists

I have been a member of several email lists for many years and utilise these because it is the way that the majority of members voted to utilise when the list was set up ( Cat Breeders group).The moderator chose this particular form as it was the best user friendly option available, given that the other members were of varying degrees of tech-savviness.Utilising email lists was seen as something even the most 'non-PC literate users' could manage without too much difficulty and I suppose this would be one of the major benefits for email list members.

My only negative would be that it can be a little time consuming if you don't check it regularly and some members ( despite education attempts) constantly hit' reply all' when unnecessary or constantly re-send on old emails that are no longer relevant to the current message and a lot of wading through 'waste' is necessary.

Module 2 Tasks:Intro

Having looked over the material for this Modules tasks, I will begin by stating that I am currently employed as an on-line technical support officer for a large multinational financial group and as part of my everyday tasks is managing high volume inbound and outbound chat (40 to 80 clients per day), email ( up to 400+)and telephony( 20-75+) enquiries from our clients utilising Outlook,Talisma ( chat and email managers) and in-house programs.

It is part of my KPIs to maintain logs off all chats/emails/calls and to maintain the utmost professionalism in both content and recording of logged contacts.

So I feel a little like back at kindergarten with some of this stuff, so you'll have to be understanding when my responses mat be brief and lacking detail: I've moved over a lot of this stuff at lightning speed as expected...
