The last gasp

The last exercises, listening to podcasts etc, were one of the most difficult for me, largely because the ones I chose to begin with weren't working and I didn't realise and thought I was doing something wrong or had to download something extra.

It was only when I started trying to listen to things chosen at random that I realised that some worked and some didn't. It may have something to do with blocks on the PCs at the workplace. (No, I hadn't been visiting pornographic sites). Anyway, I finally got to listen to some interesting podcasts.

As for the whole training exercise, I thought it was wonderful. It has opened my eyes and ears to things that are in the general atmosphere but that you sometimes don't really notice until you have been sensitised to them. For example I heard Ramona Koval while I was in the car yesterday on a short trip, discussing Library Thing with its founder. I don't know what I would have made of it a couple of months ago if I'd turned it on in the middle of the program as I did yesterday.

Anyway, thank you to all concerned. It has been a great experience!
