We have long used our maillist to communicate between members and make announcements a very Web 1.0 method. (Showing our age!)

So today I made several additions to our website to make more of our communications happen through the site.

RSS – We have always had an RSS feed for anyone interested in using our site from a reader like Bloglines or Google Reader and such.

http://epcug.net/feed/

can be entered in the readers or in Outlook Express and Thunderbird as a feed. Anything written on the site will appear in your programs when posted.

E-Mail Updates – In addition we now have our RSS feed posting web posts to e-mail addresses that register on our site. Think of it as a maillist for announcements. Just visit the website and register your e-mail address.  http://epcug.net

Mobile Phone Access – At our last meeting Salli noticed our website was not readable on her iTouch. Today I set us up with a free MoFuse account so we are now visible on web phones. Just visiting our site with a web phone should re-direct it to our mobile web site. Check it out and post a comment.

I’m hoping this will make us more accessible to more visitors and members. Tell your friends!

Aquila & Priscilla’s

Last week we arrived at Brewed Awakening to discover they had changed their hours to close at 4pm. Since we meet at 5:30pm that didn’t work. After looking through three other locations we sat down at a Starbuck’s but were unable to have Internet connection.

This week we have chosen to meet at Aquila & Priscilla’s at the Q St and Pioneer Pkwy Shopping Center (with Safeway) and try out their meeting room. Salli and Larry say they have great coffee and food so if computer talk is not enough, come enjoy some great food.

Join us (it’s free) Monday at 5:30pm
