CloudArt

Another iPad app which went free for one day is CloudArt which produces a word cloud. It can be used to scour a web site as it did on my blog to produce this:

It didn't work on my YouTube pages as it picked up a whole raft of words which had nothing to do with my videos. The app has the facility to type in words so I typed in most of the titles for my videos. Haven't tried it yet but am pretty sure copy and paste could be used to move word lists or chunks of text between apps which support the copy facility.

The ap has a few choices for the layout, lots of choices for fonts and several fixed colour schemes along with one which can be personalised. Words can be deleted from the produced cloud or their size adjusted. I left the sizes as produced by the program.

How do I know when various apps are free? I use RSS feeds from App Saga and iPad Insight. Also I use the appshopper.com site. There searches can be made, interesting apps marked so that an email is sent to me when their price changes.

Autumn Berries, Winter Food

Over the past couple of weeks I spotted many hedge and garden plants laden down with ripe berries which will be very welcome as food for birds during the cold Winter months:

Macro on Monday - Guess What

gold star Only one contributor solved the mystery photo perfectly correctly so Wilma received the virtual gold star for identifying it as a fossil fish. Well done to Adrian, TexWisGirl and Sue Garrett who recognised it as a fish.

On to what will probably be the last Guess What photo until the new Year as it is getting harder to find suitable things to photograph at the moment. This one was taken today.

No prizes. Just for fun.
The correct answer, along with any guesses left in the comments, will be revealed next Monday.
