I need to get back to this site and read this the position paper on PLE’s. This is a concept worthy of a lot of exploration in terms of design of the MAT program and its courses. Very exciting!

Long on my list of things to do has been to resolve the fact that my copy of Photoshop has not worked on this MBP since I backed up and restored all my software from old computer. I now get the message that the sw has been installed too many times, and in order to move the licence from the old G4, I need the serial number.

Therein lies the problem. My former spouse purchased the s/w and has the original CD version along with the complete serial number. Since we are not on speaking terms, I have no way to get the complete serial number, and even though I have a legal copy installed, only the partial serial number is available to my. I called Photoshop suport, told them my tale of woe, but still needed the complete number in order to authenticate the sw on the new machine.

So I’m going to try Gimp, “a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It works on many operating systems, in many languages…”

I have little need for sophisticated image manipulation, so I am hoping that this will do the trick. I’ll tweet my results.

You’ll notice that I have added a twitter feed to my blog, but I do so with ambivalence. On one hand I think that it is utterly adsurd that I would spend the time to update for anyone to read, what I am doing in the moment. I mean, who really cares?

But then again, I have lately been reading about people who seem to have similiar technology interests to mine who use twitter (those who tweet? I don’t even know the language yet). I have read about people who find Twitter to be a useful tool rather than an amusing time-waster, so I figured I should try it to see if I am missing anything valuable.  I don’t figure that I will be adding all that much, but I am curious to read the tweets of others who I am following.

On with the experiment.
