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.
I just made up a quick how to screencast, using Screentoaster, on how to change your BRCS Webmail password.
BRCS recently had to change hosts, and the yourname@brcs.org emails did not transfer over. The password for all of those address has been changed to brcsmail, so you must log in and change your password to gain access to any emails that have come in since the change over.
The URL for the video is BRCS Webmail Password Reset
I was running through my RSS feeds in Google Reader and ran across this post from FreewareGenius:
MindRaider: note-taking program combines hierarchical outlines, tagging, and visual "mind map" representations.
The review was very thorough, enough to entice me to check out the MindRaider program page, and download the Windows version, to test and see if it works for me. There are Linux and Java versions available for download also.
Will post my experience with the program at a later date.
I recently discovered the RSS feed for the blog for this site.
There is a lot of great information regarding technology, specifically as pertains to seniors and boomers.
I have even left a comment on the "Simplifying computer usage with easy-to-use software...and other musings" post of March 25, 2009, suggesting "computer user groups would be a great place for these kinds of vendors to get good feedback by providing copies of their software, which after review would be published in the group's newsletter and/or website, thus reaching like minded people, rather than the general public".
If you are a senior, boomer, or caregiver of a senior, or boomer, interested in technology at all, I recommend this blog, and associated website.
