Step 5 - Furniture, Fittings, Graphic Artwork + Delicious and Library Thing

Delicious is a great way to keep all your bookmarks together. The next time my PC explodes or the boys and girls in IT decide its time to update our leasing agreement, I won't loose all my really useful bookmarks as I have popped them all into Delicious. Its a good way for a library renovator to keep track of all the suppliers they have used and want to use again and its a great tool for sharing information about good suppliers and hopefully finding new ones. If its inspiration you need, it is good for that too. I found the DOK Library Concept Centre in all its coolness via a Delicious search on public library renovation. I covet those music pods in a big way.

Well I have created an account on Library Thing and added some fav books. As for making them appear in the form of a Widget...not sure about that... oh wait there it is on the right. It's magic!

Step 4 - Find a Wiki

2007-07-12-sleepipedia


Lots of obsessive compulsives out there. Remember that TV Show, Mastermind? The contestants now all have Wikis. But seriously, there is a lot of interesting stuff to be found in Wikis. Here are a few of my favourites. Read at your own risk as the quality varies, much like this blog.

And, best of all a wiki for renovators

Yes! I can post a pic from Flickr.

I thought I would take a break from renovations to sort out how to post a pic from Flicker. Finally with the kind help of Wendy, I can do it! Here are some that made me smile.
