Can somebody say… 3rd times a charm… Well, not third time, but third program… I must have Tech ADD or something. I am now testing Zoundry ( instead of using Qumana) along with Word 2007 & LiveWriter! Now to get it figured out to use in my classroom!!!

Which "Browser Type" are you

What Does Your Browser Reveal About Your Personality

Posted by Will on August 21st, 2006

This is a funny post about the browsers people use, and what they say about those who use them. Go there to read the whole thing, but here are clips from the article about IE 6, Firefox, Opera and Flock. As I have mentioned earlier, I use Opera (about 75% of the time), Flock (24%) and IE7beta (only when I absolutely have to).

IE 6.0: You probably don’t know what a “browser” is and you think Internet is IE. You have no clue about technology, and you are generally afraid of computers. You also use your machine only for IM, chat, email and myspace. Your friends keep telling you about that “Fried Fox” thingy but you don’t really understand this stuff and never really had time to look into it.

Firefox 1.x: You are most likely a little bit geeky and proud of it. You are a strong supporter of the Open Source movement, and you think that RMS is “the man”. You really don’t care if FF is faster, or safer than IE – you would use it even if it performed 10 times worse. You are just happy that you have a free, open source browser with a huge community that is supporting it. At any given time you have installed at least 7 extensions that you couldn’t live without.

Opera: You really don’t care for the Firefox hype. What you want is the best browser there is – and for you that’s Opera. You actually used to pay them when the browser was add supported. If a Firefox fanboi starts talking smack about your browser you quickly shoot him down by proposing the ACID2 test. You know what you want (a fast, standards compliant browser) and you know where to get it. Browser wars do not interest you at all, although you kinda hope that Firefox wins so that fewer web developers make IE only pages.

Flock: They might as well call you Mr. Web 2.0. You are all over flickr, del.icio.us, youtube and dozens of other websites, and your browser reflects it. You think that Firefox is OK, but it does not include all the blogging, photo sharing, tagging and bookmark sharing tools right there at your fingertips. You wish you could get a chip implanted in your brain so that you would stay connected to the web and be able to moblog 24/7. When the small minded people tell you that Flock is just a fork of Firefox you dismiss them saying they are not seeing the big picture.

     I find this humorous… I’m the “Opera Browser Type”… Although, I have to admit, I didn’t pay for the add supported version.  I was “Freeloading”!

Let’s Get This Party Started!

August 15, 2006 everno Leave a comment

Here we go… I have downloaded the Microsoft Live Writer Beta.  I haven’t done much with figuring out how to fix the Microsoft Word 2007 Bug… with the date & time error.

We have finished working with WebQuests in the classrooms and I am busy with Science Curriculum writing.

More to come!
