And another seminar… Web 2.0
This is the last of the long ones I will do this semester… and it is one that seems - given my background in computer programming and so on - that it should be one that I can do a good job of.
Have not quite decided on how to go about it though.
So far, pretty much all of our seminars have followed the ~regular~ format… basically, whoever is giving them writes a paper, and then reads it during the class.
Somehow, for the topic of Web 2.0 that just feels wrong.
We have a multimedia station in the room…computer with projector and all that fun stuff… so I’m thinking that it would be reasonable to make use of them.
Hope the prof agrees… I’ve emailed him and am waiting for a response… in the meantime just pulling together a bunch of notes using my favourite mindmapping software, Inspiration . Inspiration also has a Web 2.0 version, called Webspiration, which I have very much enjoyed working with - when I went to use it today though, I discovered that apparently their Wednesday update broked it.
Used to be that you could set the colour, shape, font, etc that you wanted on just one bubble… and then set that as default… my Set As Default button is all gone buh-bye. I detest it when things that work well for me get ~new & improved~ so that they no longer do. While I CAN find a workaround - it is cumbersome and annoying… *sigh* I think I shall pout now.
It would have been perfect for the presentation - back to the drawing board 
I hope they’re still reading your blog so they know you’re disappointed.
I sent a message via their feedback form and also via their twitter account… somehow doubt they’ll put my button back in time for me to use it on Tuesday though.
suppose I could do it with their default settings… but it’s boring without being able to group stuff by colour, and the font is too small and near illegible for me at the default setting… so I would just be frustrated.
