Face to Face with Facebook
Sunday, July 12th, 2009 | Author:

The plan is to share experiences with Facebook’s social networking site. Stats suggest 100 million folks log in to Facebook every day!

WHY!

For those of us who still enjoy real time sharing, in person, LIVE, we’re going to look at this phenomenon and see what we can do to use it or not miss it.

Everyone is welcome. Come join with us at Aquilla’s and Pricilla’s Cafe Monday at 5:30-7:00pm.

March 9, 2009 Meeting
Sunday, March 08th, 2009 | Author:

We have reserved the meeting room at Aquilla & Priscilla’s and will have the projector if there aren’t enough laptops to go around.

The topic is Facebook for beginners. If you use it a lot come tell us what you have learned, if it’s something you have wondered about, come learn from the others.

As always, the meeting is free, come one, come all!

Enjoying the new location
Monday, February 23rd, 2009 | Author:

We had our first gathering at Aquila’s and Priscilla’s last Monday and some of us will be there again tonight. We decided to only reserve the meeting room for presentations and since we don’t have one tonight, we’ll just sit socially.

I would like to begin opening to folks who would just join us online while we meet at the cafe, it’s been requested in the past so I hope to show some collaboration sites that may be useful to us for this.

Vyew.com

Zoho.com

This is just to get the discussion going. Do you have suggestions?

Updating Our Updates
Saturday, February 21st, 2009 | Author:

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!

New Meeting Location this week
Sunday, February 15th, 2009 | Author:

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

We have chosen to cancel the December 29 Meeting and will announce later about the January 5 Meeting. Take time to be with family and friends this season and we will begin again in the new year.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Happy Holidays!

Cancel Dec. 15 Meeting?
Monday, December 15th, 2008 | Author:

Maybe we should cancel tonight’s meeting…

OK, maybe that isn’t Eugene but it did snow last night and I’m not sure we need to travel anywhere tonight.

Comment below if you have other thoughts.

EPCUG on Facebook
Sunday, November 30th, 2008 | Author:

Most of our members are of the “Older” persuasion and so we are not as involved in the Social Network scene all the kids. But maybe we should give it another look.

Facebook EPCUG Group Page

Facebook EPCUG Group Page

We now have an EPCUG Facebook group where we can share our calendar, news and a Forum with Facebook members as well as the real live folks we get to meet at the cafe. :)

Have a look and leave a note, or show whether you can attend a meeting or upload photos, video or anything you think our group may find interesting.

Clearly we’ll have to have some discussion about Facebook at a meeting and maybe one of us more informed about it can schedule an appearance.

It’s a whole new (to the oldsters) phenomena that the kids have been building up for years. It’s about time we learned more about it too and maybe find more folks who will join us through this page/group.
