Information Flow

Talk about swimming every day--my life is a constant swim in information. I can't even begin to tell all the times today I have interacted with information. Email. Web. Paper. Phone. Network files. Spreadsheets. PowerPoint. Digital video. Let's see:
  1. I transferred our entire Intranet to my PowerBook so I could burn a DVD for backup. We had a bad experience with a power outage and email, so I'm playing it safe.
  2. I exported several of my students' iMovie projects to Quicktime so I could show them in class.
  3. I interacted with Ray regarding why Entourage won't/can't access the LDAP email server.
  4. I checked my bank balance online and scheduled a couple of payments.
  5. I searched for a photo of the new Mercury Milan.
  6. I searched online for a photo of an iPod shuffle for my class presentation.
  7. I looked up the FEMA website that offers the book Taking Shelter From the Storm for free for a friend.
  8. I received a payment on account for my server business via PayPal.
  9. I interacted with the fellow who does my DNS for all my domains about the proper way to set up my backup mx.
  10. I went online to the ***.com website on my server to delete the stupid gambling posts that someone keeps putting on the guestbook there.
  11. I went to the IMC to help one of my students who was having trouble getting her iMovie project to record her voice properly using the eMac; and another was having trouble with the volume on a clip on her movie.
  12. Gotta debug why when I connect to the net with the wireless connection, why I can't access the web or email.
See you in the EAIC (East Australian Information Current) (hat tip to Finding Nemo)
