simple computer technology for genealogists
From the monthly archives:
When I was a kid, there was a contest on the radio that went something like this:
When you hear the sound of the gong, call into Station XYZ. The first caller will win a hit single by … (I’ve forgotten the name but it was a highly desirable item at the time.) For the younger crowd, ‘singles’ came before LP’s (I think) which came before 8-tracks which came before cassettes which came before CD’s which came before MP3 players and stealing music from the Internet.

I started using EverNote back when it was barely out of the womb and for awhile I was a beta-tester. Since then they have been adding features and leaping on ahead of what I’ve learned so far, and so fast I can’t keep up. Now they’re off on Version 3 (out in beta) where you’ll be able to store your notes and clips on the web so you can have access to them anywhere. On your mobile phone too, if you have one, the database synchronized between all devices and your desktop, with the ability to email your ‘notebooks’ to whom you please. Now that they mention it, I can see a few thousand uses for that.

Only because I have eyes in the back of my head, I know that some of you have tackled MediaDex for your IPTC ambitions, or are in the midst of tackling, and you’d probably like to shoot me for even suggesting it. But if it’s not too late, I’m going to reveal some of the inner workings of this mysterious software.

I don’t actually live on a ranch, but I am back. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone in Canada lives on a ranch or in an igloo. We have towns and cities and ATM machines and milk that comes in cartons and all that regular stuff. Not that I can work an ATM machine without becoming confused but we have them. I am back from my travels and short as they were it always feels like a trip to the Moon. I hate traveling. I hate stuffing the trunk of a steel cage with my belongings and hurtling through space at 60 miles an hour. I hate it even more than I hate Internet Explorer.

This is off the beaten path, but I’m going there anyway.
They say about 90% of people who use the Internet know nothing about affiliate marketing, so this is for the 90%.

Legacy 7.0 is coming out soon. Probably. In which case, we’re a month closer to it than we were, say, a month ago.
Just as you would probably sweep a spot in your house for a new couch, you might want to sweep your database in preparation for the new version. It’s optional. And if you don’t use Legacy, well … I’m just speechless.
I have to pack up and go traveling for awhile, so I’m leaving you a list of things to do while I’m gone. Don’t say I never give you nothin’. …[continued]

After a week of not writing I always think I should be coming back with something extraordinary because, after all, what else have I been doing all this time? Surely, something terribly exotic.
In reality, my very old television has been niggling at my mind for awhile. I don’t actually watch television all that much. I tend more to listen to it. As nauseatingly repetitive and overly-analytical as CNN can be, I’m somewhat riveted by the U.S. presidential thing.
