This weekend I’ve managed to install a couple of different applications to help me do what I want to.

The first thing was eXe (which is a bizarre thing to have on a Mac). It’s a small app which assists in the development of learning materials. Without having to know anything at all about HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS or any other acronym. I’ve just about finished organising the study guide for the undergrad course and I flicked the link and the file to Luke who also managed to update that version for the postgrads. Funnily enough the postgrad version seems closer to completion than the undergrad one. Seems he is much better at solving problems than I am. But needless to say, I am quite chuffed at having found that from WikiEducators. (BTW if you’re interested in using wikis for learning, do look it up.)

The other thing I have just installed is MAMP which runs a server so I can finally get around to learning enough to fix this blog. I got the server running and managed to install a local version of wordpress, so I can investigate what I did wrong and find out how to make it right. I still haven’t updated it and it’s already the end of Sunday which is usually my day for play (but I played with work … or worked at play … or something). Hopefully, I will work out enough to redo the design to match the redesigned front page (isn’t it pretty?).

Only time will tell.
