Week 10 Summary

This is the final structured week of the course and once again I find myself running to catch up.  I have been gathering information on cyborgs, humans and posthumans to help me understand the differences, especially the nuances between human and posthuman and feeding them into my Lifestream.   Some of the information I used in my blog and some I may use in my final assignment – once I’ve decided on my topic.

The good news is that the majority of my feeds are working well.  One that has worked from the very beginning is my Female Science Professor RSS feed. I see that the articles I posted in Reddit are showing up in my Lifestream, so pleased about that.  My information gathering on humans/posthumans took me back to the film festival and I added another couple of YouTube videos to my favourites.  However, it looks like I may have messed up on one bookmarking attempt with Delicious.  I’m a little hesitant to remove it in case I end up deleting all my entries, especially as I’ll be submitting my Lifestream soon.

I attempted to save a video to Vimeo but don’t think it has worked.  It can take several hours for it to show through on my feed.  I would assume that all feeds should be necessary and workable.  If Vimeo doesn’t work at my next attempt I shall have to delete it from my feeds.

I am still unable to get the full benefit of Twitter.  I have been able to tweet but I’m rarely able to open the links my colleagues tweet as my Internet connection is so slow.From the standard of blogs and comments made by my colleagues I know that these links will be very interesting. It’s so frustrating not being able to follow through and I get heartily sick of seeing these signs.

I have spent some time thinking about my assignment and how I should present it.  With this in mind I had a look at Weebly.  Jeremy emailed the link to the assignments of last year’s cohorts and I see one of them used it.  I need to play around with it before making my decision.

I’ve had a look around this site but cannot see any sign of comments I’ve made on my colleagues’ sites. Hoping that it is something that can be easily resolved.
