Downloading tools/ plug-ins task
In your learning log record which programs you downloaded and note which (if any) facets you think might prove useful.
Flash/Shockwave: I don't think there are any alternative programs for this one..
Media players: I have CCCP and VLC Player installed. Generally I use CCCP for playing files and VLC for streaming. Also I have Real Alternative installed. Quote: "Real Alternative will allow you to play RealMedia files without having to install RealPlayer"
I don't have a search manager/combiner installed. I was going to try Glooton for Mac and Windows but the page was in french (and I'm running out of time, silly me.) On to Copernic, 'the desktop search solution you've been waiting for'. I really don't want to install this; I think this is going to take over my default Vista search, that I've finally for set up as I like it... On to the later tasks until I might need to install it.
edit: I needed to install Copernic Agent, and not Copernic Desktop Search...
5. Bookmark manager: Well I have Google Chrome, which last time I checked has a 900+MB internet cache, and all my bookmarks which I move from computer to computer on a USB stick..
6. Offline browser: >_<>
Searching the web - search engine task
I searched 'anime tv australia' into google. As in, Anime on TV in Australia, because Australia has little Anime on free-to-air channels..
The first result:
Anime On Aussie Tv - DTV Forum Australia. Sweet.
Copernic:
1. www.jbhifi.com.au
2. www.GraysOnline.com.au
3. www.TheElectronicDiscounter.com.au
4. WebPrice.com.au/Bravia/LCD/TV/
Now this is sad.. They are sponsored results, but they aren't even remotely related..
5. www.animeaustralia.com
6. http://www.fansub.tv/published.php/4211/Anime%20Australia/
7. http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?showtopic=52780 (the first result of the google search)
8. http://www.ask.com/bar?q=anime+tv+australia&page=1&qsrc=0&zoom=Anime+TV +OnlineAnime +Internet+TV Anime+TV +Series&ab=0&u=http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?showtopic=52780 (the same thing, but redirected through a different search engine...)
9. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/1998-08-09/evangelion-to-show-on-australia-tv (the third result of the google search)
Boolean searching task.
Most results: anime or tv or australia
Most relevant: anime and tv and australia
From university sources: ?!?!?! did I miss something?
I have a feeling that 'or' and 'and' didn't work with google... ie. i can't search for 'cats not dogs' but I can search 'cats -dogs'.
Organising search information task
I don't quite understand this task. Usually I work in real time and do my searching when I need it, not all at the start.. Bibliography is also worked in realtime, into a MS Word document..
