Interlude - Unpaid Announcement
For anyone looking to do their own blogs, journals, whatever... I've found a few pieces of software immensely helpful.
The first four are all courtesy of Google.
Picasa - photo album software from Google, allows you to organize the photos, edit them with basic edits and then send/upload them to your blog or via e-mail. Really cool interface and easier than anything I've ever used to move photos from place to place.
Hello - photo posting site that acts as a 'go-betweeen' with Picasa and Blogger.com. Blogger doesn't store your photos, it just links to them. Hello is where the photos 'live' and also allows you to purchase prints (similar to Ofoto or Shutterfly)
Blogger.com - the blog site that you're viewing this on.
Google translator - the Google language tools have been very helpful with 'on the fly' translations of stuff in Italian (when I've had the computer handy)
Then, of course there's www.wikipedia.com as I've previously mentioned. Your resource for pretty much anything you want to know. Because it's updated by contributors regularly, you'll find it includes far more than your typical online encyclopedia.
And www.weather.com for daily updates on whether I'm going to be getting soaked or not.
And, while I'm at it, one more plug -- Trillian - it's an 'all-in-one' chat program that lets you load your account info and buddy lists from AIM, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ and MSN messenger. Quit using more than one! Trillian puts them all together in one!
