I follow PC Magazine on Twitter, which is where I found a link to the 09Apr09 Article “The 25 Golden Rules of E-Mail”.
I tweeted back that this should be required reading. Numbers 6, 7, 8, 9 and 15, address some of my pet peeves regarding email.
I thought the cartoon below from xkcd.com fit right in.
A co-worker walked by my desk today, stopped and asked what I was listening to.
I told him that particular song was some instrumental jazz I had downloaded from Jamendo, this link is to their english language page.
I have downloaded a multitude of albums, instrumental, sax, piano, jazz, blues, etc. for listening to on my computer.
These artists are from various countries, nine at this time, publishing under Creative Commons licenses.
If you like good music, this is the site for you.
I attended the conference this weekend, in Zephyrhills, Florida, and did not have adequate access to post as things went along, so here are a few highlights:
I am proud to announce that Boca Bits, the Boca Raton Computer Society, Inc. (BRCS) newsletter, took second place in the APCUG newsletter contest.
On Friday there was a dinner at Lupton’s BBQ Buffet, followed by a dessert gathering at the American Legion Post 118 in Zephyrhills. These were basically meet and greet functions, where I did meet some old friends from previous conferences as well as some new friends, some from outside of Florida.
The basic theme of the conference, Saturday and Sunday, was Social Networking, with sessions such as Virtual Worlds, Wikis, Ning, Twitter, and many more. Some sessions were recorded and can be viewed at Ustream.tv.
I wish to thank all the hard working APCUG and FACUG volunteers, the sponsors,and Lupton’s Catering, for a great conference, that gave me a lot of things to think about for use in both of the Computer Groups, in which I am involved, and personally as well.
