Hello & Welcome,
 
Sorry folks, but at the time of writing I have not been forwarded any information as to the topics for some of this weeks events. It is hoped that next week I will have the relevant agendas.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Monday 8 Feb. - Stocks & Shares - Malcolm Robertson - 6 pm - 8 pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tuesday 9 Feb. - Programming - Neville Hoffman - 6 pm - 8 pm
 
At the January meeting Stuart showed the latest developments of his programming language. Using a PIC30 he calculated the square of pi to 8 decimal places. Martin explained his straingage project and showed its hardware. Anthony showed his Microbyte development board for PICs. Peter showed us GPutils, a set of software tools on SourceForge, including the simulator GPSIM. Neville showed a video from Instructables showing a controlled lawnmower, and introduced the RF Digital series of miniature radio transceivers that can be simply driven by a microprocessor.
 
Come and show your projects, or see some others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friday 12 Feb. - Seniors - Bill Parry - 10 am - 12 noon
 
The session will include items that weren't presented last month. File Management and Organising Favourites - in all our choices of operating systems. Bill believes there must be more effective ways of doing these 'chores' and he will show a couple for group comment. All opinions and demos accepted.
 
If time permits we might have a look at and a discussion on - No Nonsense Software and System Information - product keys etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friday 12 Feb. - Communications - Bob Backstrom - 1 pm - 3 pm

Tip of the Week
 
networx NetWorx 5.0.9 - This program is a simple and free tool that helps you objectively evaluate your bandwidth situation. You can collect bandwidth usage data and measure the speed of your Internet or other network connections. Ensures that you do not exceed the bandwidth limits specified by your ISP.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
So until next week, health and happiness.

Cheers

Elaine
