Acronyms

After all the pain of trying to think in acronyms yesterday I had to share this one I found this morning. I happened to be looking for a specific quote from the movie The Princess Bride and in the process found the following.

[after Westley rescues Butter cup from the lightning quicksand]
Buttercup: We'll never succeed. We may as well die here.
Westley: No, no. We have already succeeded. I mean, what are the three terrors of the Fire Swamp? One, the flame spurt - no problem. There's a popping sound preceding each; we can avoid that. Two, the lightning sand, which you were clever enough to discover what that looks like, so in the future we can avoid that too.
Buttercup: Westley, what about the R.O.U.S.'s?
Westley: Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.
[Immediately, an R.O.U.S. attacks him]

GL WI IM, PIR make me ROFL

Having fun with IM, but it is doing my head in trying to keep up with 5 plus conversations and learn this new language of acronyms. I can imagine it being a great waste of time!! I'm loving all the creative acronyms the people in my Web 2.0 class came up with, I'm not so good at it but it is lots of fun being silly...now I'm off to GBTW!!!

Wikis

Today we have been learning about wikis. Having created my So what does a ... do all day? page I went hunting for mistakes to fix. Found a couple of spelling mistakes on the Evidence Based Library and Information Practice page and fixed them up.

Now I'm hunting for wikis of interest to me. Found a great travel wiki, given my interest in Central Asia there are some great pages there for me to read and add to.
