Well, this is my week so I've already done plenty of playing with Doodle and Firefox in preparation! I've lost track of how many Doodle accounts I've created and then deleted in order to test things.
I had heard of Doodle before - my colleagues at Queen's College in Oxford used it to schedule meetings quite frequently. It was very useful in order to find a time when all the Library staff, plus the Provost, and various Fellows, could make a meeting. As my job here doesn't necessitate me arranging meetings, I'm not sure I have much use for Doodle at the moment, but it may come in useful in the future.
As for Firefox, as a true Computer Science geek I've been using it for years. However, it wasn't until I came to write my instructions that I really started to understand about the add-ons. I'd always used it in the past because it had the functionality for tabs much earlier than IE. I've used one or two add-ons before - mainly Firebug, which is brilliant for de-bugging websites - but had never really investigated much further. I've now got the weather forecast and current temperature at the bottom of my screen, along with the cool previews functionality, which I think is very funky, but I'm not sure if it will actually save me any time.
So, that's week 3 done, bring on week 4!
