Make it Work! (LMS must go forward)

Wow I haven’t been here in a while. I just moved into a new house and that has been more time consuming then I ever imagined. The LMS project is still (and I now believe will always be) in the development/implement stage. So what’s a girl to do to amuse herself? How about manipulating a […]

Twitter and Second Life – 2 things I’m still figuring out

Just a quick note on some things I still haven’t got the whole point of yet. Twitter – so I’m signed up and I’m following a few people. It took me some time to get connected to updates through my phone. I found out that it was a Canadian thing related to the number I […]
