Week 3, thing 7

As usual, I am getting way behind but will work hard to catch up.

It appears to me lately that my working life, at least, is being pushed by technology.  While I am not kicking and screaming to get away I never feel like I am leading the way and always feel a few steps behind.  Currently, here in Norwich we are working with the free source circulation software Koha and are part of the Consortium which has formed to pursue this. What this has shown me is how little I know about how things really work. I feel like I can learn the procedures to do what I want to do but don’t really understand the mechanisms that lie underneath. This can be frustrating. I can understand the most complex biological concepts but not the fairly simple Computer ones. Perhaps I need to start thinking about the computer as an organic life form!

Now on to RSS!
