Baby you're a rich man

Having just watched The Social Network again I can't get 'Baby you're a rich man' by the Beatles out of my head, in fact it is playing at the moment as I am typing this. Anyway, a question for Facebook - why haven't you developed an ipad app yet? I have the iphone app but this is really clunky when using the ipad.

Anyway, the drawing...just did this by eye rather than using the Colestream method..I like it...hope someone else might.

Facebook, mud and catkins....

So far so interesting. There is a huge amount of things to start to learn about facebook and I am just talking the first few steps. It is quite intriguing though. I have spent the morning working out how to link things to my account. The afternoon was for play - wellies mud and catkins..

One of the main things I have been working on is linking my web presence and finding ways of supporting each in the most efficient way. This is where Posterous comes in. Initially I used this service as an easy way to post blog updates from my iPhone. It worked really well - you write a quick email and post it to Posterous and bang the content flows to wherever. It was also posted to my Posterous blog site which, if I am honest, I never looked at as I was using Blogger.com. However, with the arrival of facebook I am now not so dismissive, indeed there may come a time when I stop working on blogger and just use support Posterous. This, though, is unlikely as blogger.com is part of Google and you would hope that this would give the service an edge when searches are made on Google. The second reason why this might not happen is that Posterous is so easy to use that I don't have to do anything and both blogs are updated.

Having spent the morning starting to understand facebook this afternoon I felt like doing something more creative. On came the wellies and I was out splatting through the mud in my local park. What is it with me and mud? Well there was a serious reason for this. I wanted to capture some catkin photographs and now is the right time to do that. Sure enough there was a great show of catkins and I will enjoy working through the images over the next day or so. Now do I publish them to flickr or facebook? Decisions Decisions.

Testing the Links...

This is part of a series of photographs I have made in and around the Staunton Harold area. It's a view from Dimminsdale across the valley towards the main house...

A Facebook new boy....

Well I have gone and done it - I've joined Facebook. At the moment I feel very much like a new boy at school - everything is very new and just a little frightening but I am sure over the weeks and months ahead this will change - I hope so anyway.

I have some help in this whole new endeavour - my son is a veteran facebooker - 4 years which I think makes him almost there at the start. I am trying to link all my updates into one place so I am using Posterous to publish this to face book and blog. If there was a photo attached then this would also go to Flickr as well. This should make things a whole lot easier - lets hope so.

Well here goes - I just about to test the system.

The verb ' to Facebook...'

Actually I am not sure that Facebook is a verb - in fact I am sure it is not but this does capture what I am thinking about at the moment. Should I get a facebook account? I really cannot see the point - I suspect that this an age thing. After all I have enough to do keeping up with the other things going on in my life that facebook to me is just another layer of activity.

Now I know that there are some useful sites on facebook but I am not sure why I would want to see them within the facebook environment rather than on the wider web. In short what is in it for me? I just don't know. I suspect the only way to resolve this would be to take the plunge and have a look around and see what is happening. But not yet, I think.
