John chaired the Dorchester meeting on October 21st, at which the 15 members present were offered two presentations.

The first, by Mick, described how it is possible for a very reasonable annual fee, to obtain a personalised e-mail address which you can keep for life, and which still can be used irrespective of how many times you change your internet provider (ISP). Companies such as Easily Ltd or Fasthosts deal with Nominet, who… Read more…

The attendance at last night’s meeting was, to put it politely, dire. In view of the low turn out for the last few meetings, possibly explained in some part by the upsets for the April & May meetings, which did not take place, I have decided that unless the November meeting shows a marked increase, it will be the last Bournemouth meeting. It is not fair to expect our hosts, Solutions, to continue to… Read more…

In between the Coffee & Doughnuts this month were Apple's iPhoto and an iPhone application developed by our chairman Martin. We even managed to squeeze in a bit of problem solving as well, so a particularly busy meeting for all those attending!

I started off the preceding with a presentation on iPhoto, how I organized my images and how I utilize key words in my filing system using Keyword Assistant (http://homepage.mac.com/kenferry/software.html). It should… Read more…

For once we'd had a request for a particular type of presentation. There are applications that most of us use (the iLife suite comes to mind) but there's bound to be some simple features that we've never discovered so the request was for a sort of guide for beginners to some of the features we may have missed.

We started this series with iPhoto as being probably the application most used. Of course… Read more…

To start the season, we had two excellent presentations with a photographic theme. Euan introduced us to some of the mysteries of Colour on the Mac, and in Photoshop. When he finished, we had all taken on an understanding of RGB, CMYK, how to calibrate the monitor, and colour spaces, and also of some of the tools which Photoshop provides to enable colours to be balanced, enhanced, and transformed. After an interval in the Colliton… Read more…

Solutions, due to a misunderstanding (?) were not able to make the Aperture presentation as previously announced.. However the day was saved by Mick Burrell who had given a basic presentation on Aperture at the earlier Lytchett meeting and had it
handy on his laptop. Phew!!

Jimmy Hays the deputy editor of iCreate arrived in good time,and his talk was a success with plenty of questions and an offer to return at… Read more…

Martin had put together an excellent demonstration of Delicious Library for us. Most, if not all of us knew nothing about it beforehand so were most impressed by it, particularly its ability to read bar codes and connect to Amazon and fill in loads of detail for you - no typing - including jacket artwork (for books and CDs) plus things like a brief synopsis or track listings. It can also keep track of which friend you've… Read more…

OK, it wasn't hot dry & sunny in fact, to be honest it was bordering on the cold, wet and decidedly overcast but I'm please to say that a few hardy souls joined me for what turned out to be a good afternoon out. For good, read entertaining.

We decided that it would be prudent to take a couple of garden gazebos with us to cover the picnic tables so that we could… Read more…

A busy meeting with a good attendance! I can't attribute that to the cakes that Jane had baked for me to take as nobody knew they were coming so it was either the attraction of a talk by Trevor Middleton of Mac Format magazine, the chance to see Roy Rainford's superb photos or maybe the excitement of our first AGM!

We went for the AGM first but the details of that will be in… Read more…

Once more a select gathering- the holiday season was certainly upon us.

Mick Burrell gave an excellent presentation on setting up wireless networks - it all looked so easy! And he was able to pass the words of wisdom on to anyone who needed them in the form of a PDF document, to download onto pen-drives or lap-tops.

Michael Corgan outlined the very competent and wide-ranging writing program, Scrivener… Read more…
