The BGAMUG Computer Club Christmas Party was fun! The cruise and more.

I had a really good time. 

The present Gift Exchange went well, I thought, we had plenty of presents. I hope we get to do that next year too. We'll see. I may bring more next year, so everyone gets two presents. (IF we do it again).

The centerpieces had BLINKING lights! And the food was really good.

I left early (my apologies) because of the weather and etc. and got to take home a 3-selection Power Strip package as my prize.

Some group members are going on an APCUG Cruise soon! I can't wait to hear about it.

Download our latest newsletter on this page.

An FYI: We do NOT have a meeting in December.

Our next meeting is our January meeting which is on Tuesday, January 28th.

Later, and have a WONDERFUL holiday!

The BGAMUG Auction was fun! And now it's Officer Time and more.

Hi everyone! This is Betsy again, with an update on our Auction Meeting this past Tuesday.

It went great! We had lots of laughs too, which I liked most of all. We sold nice notebook computers, printers, jewelry, a pretty glass plate, stationery, a mouse, and lots more, for great prices.

Our next BGAMUG meeting is on Tuesday, October 22nd at 6:30 at the BGTC Building F.

The meeting room is down from our old meeting room, to the right. (see the map below).

Do you want to be a BGAMUG officer next year? You can. Most of the positions are open.

I am not running again for Webmaster, because I was going to do it for only one year, and have been doing it longer.

So if you like blogging and/or doing web pages, we need you!

We also need other officers to spell the ones who have been working hard month by month.

I am in other groups, too, (like many members) and also have a LOT to do to catch up on work here at my Home Office.

But luckily, other officers have volunteered to do this job for awhile, which is good. It helps the Club a lot, and you get to make decisions that help everyone.

There are other officer slots available too. So be thinking of which job you would like best.

If you would like to volunteer to help the club, contact Jerry G. He will be glad to hear from you. His web address is on the Newsletter, which you can download here.

Here are the Officer positions:

President
Vice President of Protocol
Secretary

BGAMUG September Auction Meeting September 24 2013 UPDATED

Get ready to have fun at our Auction meeting on Tuesday, September 24th.

"We are pleased to announce our September meeting will be in the BGTC Building F. (Same as last month.)"

Last year we had lots of neat items at the auction. This year we have computer items, a Garmin GPS with accessories, a wireless MP3 headset, a photo printer and a Kindle!

Also from Jerry:  

"...members are asked to bring items to the meeting to be auctioned off as a
BGAMUG Fund Raiser. The items do not have to be computer related, but should be in good functional condition. Items that do not sell will be returned to the member donating them..."

Our August meeting was fun. I learned a lot about Computer Shortcuts.

There were some fun tips at the latest BGAMUG Meeting.

YourKeys Font

 I learned how to (much more quickly) access special characters and save time doing work with them. One character I want to use on Facebook is a heart. <3 br="">

There was another group at our (new) meeting place. So we moved back to our OLD building (F) and moved to the right, to a new, bigger room. It is on the same side of the building as our old room, just go to the right all the way down the sidewalk.

Next time, we may be there again. I will post here when I and they find out.

We got some good handouts too. The most fun for me was talking about fonts.

Our Next meeting is our fun Auction, Tuesday, Sept. 24th. Bring quality computer items, good printers, other computer stuff PLUS other useful quality items in good condition to sell for the Club.

The Genealogy SIG (Special Interest Group) was also very interesting. I think I'm learning by osmosis here, and hope to be able to do great things later on with it.

Guests are always welcome at BGAMUG meetings.

In addition we will cover some speedy and more productive time saving tasks you can accomplish in document creation and navigating the PC screen by using the keyboard more and the mouse less.
To top things off I’ll show you how to insert characters into your emails and documents that
do not appear on the keyboard, like; ¢ ™ ® ° © » ± ……"

The picnic was fun! I loved the homemade food. Our next meeting... more.

Well, our host and hostesses at Diamond W Farms (Gary and Karen Wickliff) certainly outdid themselves for the BGAMUG picnic. 

I want to thank them for their terrific hospitality. It was fun to see everyone. We have some pictures to share later on too.

Also, I got to see a beautiful horse, and a redecorated hanger area there.

An FYI Update: BGAMUG Computer Club news for July.

Here is an update for BGAMUG Computer Club members and friends.

Well, that was interesting last month! We had a meeting scheduled, but there was no place to park, as the school was re-doing the parking lot.
So we are waiting to hear about where we will meet next month. I have gotten a few emails and have put some information here.

Right now, we have some meeting ideas which have probably moved a bit.

July, Jeri Steele (Photo Editing in Office 10)

August - Jerry G - Keyboarding 1001

September - Auction (This event is really fun!)

The BGAMUG Board meeting is now July 9th.

I hope everyone's computer is doing fine. :-)

Meeting Cancelled!

Tonights BGAMUG Computer Club meeting for 6:30 has been cancelled, as has the Genealogy Sig meeting.

Why? Because the parking lot is all torn up.

I could not see all of it, but was called as I was driving over to it. I could see some big white pipes there, and some mini-mountains of asphalt and dirt.

Darn! I was looking forward to going. Sorry if anyone went there and could not find it. I would have put it here if I'd known.

Our next meeting is Tuesday, August 23rd. I hope the parking lot is done by then!

The Board meeting went great. I tried some hot pasta too.

The meeting tonight was full of plans and a couple of surprises too.

There are plans for a July Picnic, and also a class taught by our intrepid teacher guru, Jerry Gillette, who will talk about Keyboard Shortcuts.

These Keyboard shortcuts can save a LOT of work time.

The calendars are on order, and the Christmas Party planning is also well underway.

I tried the hot pasta, and so did somebody else. It WAS hot.

Members, remember to be saving your computer items and other items for the great BGAMUG Computer Club auction to be held in August.

Last night's meeting went great. We learned more about CCleaner, plus more.

As a Mac user (for now) I wasn't sure I would get much out of learning more about how to operate Windows computers or getting neat software for it.

But I got to see CCleaner demonstrated up close and personal on the screen, and it looked pretty easy to do. I am considering getting a PC to load Corel on. I miss being able to make interesting logos using Corel.

So I will probably be getting CCleaner (otherwise known as Crap Cleaner) for it.

Here is a link where you can download CCleaner. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

Our Tech guru, Joe Easterling, explained that the free version was very good and useful.

I will add some more info. from the meeting here or on the Newsletter soon.

Club Members, we will have another Auction - save your items.

OK, BGAMUG Computer Club Members.

Remember to save your useful computers and other items for another BGAMUG Auction.









A date has not been set, but I think it's a good idea. I was able to get a great deal on a small trampoline last time.

How is everyone doing? Great, I hope.

Google Glass - is it a computer? Sort of. Would you wear it?

Via Planeta on Flickr.

Are you thinking you will get a set of Google glasses?

Maybe not right now, but later?

They had a news story about these tonight. Someone used them in Times Square, in New York. They took some photos and got directions.

They do cost a lot. My husband said he would probably pass on them. But when the apps are made, I'll bet having a pair of Google glasses (or Google Glass with no "es"?) would be fun.

I think the price will probably go down.  And I'm curious. I think it would be fun to try these out. I hope they become affordable in the future.

What do you think?

 

All for now,

Microsoft to bring back its "Start" button? Is that something you would like?

Is this something you would like?

I think I would. I tried to navigate a Windows computer with a new OS about a year ago. I could not find where to go!

Maybe a start button (like I'm used to) would help. I am used to using a Mac, but I used to use a Windows OS before. It would help me possibly use one again.

Why? Because not all programs are made for both platforms (think: Corel!)

What do you think?

Here is the (pretty interesting!) article I found today via Yahoo News.

Microsoft told to bring back Start button as ‘a sign that it listens to its customers’ by Brad Reed.

It's time to backup!

Have you backed up your important computer files lately?

If not...

An example of important files are:

Your book manuscripts

Names and addresses

Important emails

Etc. Etc.

You will be so happy to have this extra copy when you need it.

You can also double-backup by using a Cloud service or another form of backup.

Later!

It's time to turn off your computer when...

...you wake up at 3 am to go to the bathroom, but stop to check your email first...
