News from a Classroom in Delaware: 

We had a very interesting email from Ms. Ward at a Delaware school lately.

Madi, a Library Intern, found a great typing link for us.

The interns are using some links on our BGAMUG Computer Club Links Page too, on a school website page this year.

So it's a big win-win situation for us!

Thank you, Ms. Ward, and Madi, for another link to add to our Links Page.

It is "Staffing Solutions: Learning to Type More Efficiently" at http://www.certstaff.com/classes/learn-to-type-efficiently.html.

Thank you for trading links with us.

Do you eat or drink in front of your computer?

I was just wondering. I sometimes do have a snack by my computer. I have to be careful though.

And sometimes I like to have a drink there too.

I no longer put the drink within elbow reach or an accidental spill, though now I have a nice plastic keyboard protector on my keyboard, just in case.

Here is the picture that helped me decide the topic for this posting. I can imagine something spilling from this plate!

The description for this photo reads: Grilled halibut with green chili sauce on computer table. Mmmmmm good. But that coke looks so dangerous. 

Have you ever spilled on your computer table or (horrors!) on the keyboard? Leave a comment if you have and are brave enough to talk about it.

Our last meeting... and an update for our next BGAMUG Computer Club meeting

Hi, all!

Our BGAMUG Computer Club meeting on Tuesday, July 24th, went well. I did a short presentation on External Hard Drives, and Jerry also did a presentation on files to show how to select them for backing up. I took a couple of photos of the meeting. Here are a couple:

From our last posting:

In August, Joe will talk about Windows 8.

In September, the BGAMUG Computer Club will have a Special Auction. Things we need are both computer or digital related items, plus donated items with a life or usefulness.

So members, future visitors, and donors, please look around your house for items to bring to the September meeting to raise money for the Club.

All items given will be donations for the club. Afterwards, if your item has not sold, you will have the option of taking it back or the Club may donate it.

Joe says if you have something to donate that needs work, contact him, and he might be able to fix it by that meeting. You have to call him right now though.


I love auctions, so I will be looking forward to that especially. Plus I am curious to find out how Windows 8 works.

I put more photos on our BGAMUG Facebook page. Just click here to see them.


Later!

Upcoming programs and events for the BGAMUG Computer Club in Bowling Green, Kentucky for 2012

It's a Cat's Life or Catbook Pro by A. Davey on Flickr.

I got an email from our former President today, reminding me of future events for the BGAMUG Computer Club. Come to a meeting to meet him!

And our newest President too. Guests are always welcome, and might win a prize too! Plus they can learn about their computers there.

BGAMUG Meeting Topics coming up:

This month (July) I will be doing a short presentation on External Backups. (Save those files!) I have some experience LOSING files, so I made it a project to find an online service that helps me keep my files safe. I will talk about my experiences with different programs and which one I like best.

In August, Joe will talk about Windows 8.

In September, Jerry will have a Special Auction. Things we need are "mostly computer or digital related items, but any donated items with a life or usefulness are acceptable." So members and donors, please look around your house for items to bring to the September meeting to raise money for the Club.

I hope you all are having a great week!

One of the conversations there is about the infamous July 9th story about the "Internet Doomsday" experienced by some computer users. The FBI had a hand in this story, which I find interesting.
