I really love discovering new ways of communicating on the Internet, and this week’s DiaS adventure was no exception.
Stixy is a cool bulletin-board type application that allows users to write sticky notes and to-do lists, and to upload pictures and documents to a page by dragging and dropping icons wherever they like. The items are customizable, too, so you can change the colors and fonts of a note or add a border to a photo. Pretty cool.
It lags pretty bad on my old machine, though, so I had a difficult time moving my note around. (Not enough RAM, I guess, and not enough CASH to upgrade…) And I don’t love a side-scrolling page. I’m not sure if this can be changed in the options for a board.
To see this week’s sentences, you can click on the screenshot above and scroll around a bit. Here’s my sentence:
“I took off yesterday afternoon and all day today, acknowledging a temporary defeat to the TMJ pain. :(”
