Happy New Year !
The first meeting of the new decade! January was cancelled due to the snow, which is just as well because the roads were awful that night.
Turnout for February wasn't bad, with not much on the agenda, it turned into a general discussion about lots of things.
Got a look at a netbook specific OS called Jolicloud. This is a stylish and easily navigable offering which takes advantage of the shift to cloud computing. Running on the Dell Mini9 it offered seamless connectivity to web based apps.
The issue of making regular backups was discussed, with a free 50Gb account from ADrive.com being worthy of investigation. Whilst a free account doesn't give you ftp access, it does allow you to store, and share, any type of file (compared to some other online backup accounts which are media specific). Worth getting an account and taking the time to backup your important files NOW!
Some members mentioned that the Tuesday night meeting clashed with other events, so a decision was made to trial a Wednesday night instead. With this in mind, the next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 3rd March at 7pm.
