Washington Apple Pi Journal.

And sitemaps are very useful things to have, as they greatly increase your Web site’s visibility in Web search engines. Go forth and let people find you. http://www.wap.org/journal/ragesitemap/ 3257BA4A-6633-43BA-AB10-E1CF4DEBE96E-10986-0000A5555EB12FC3-FFA Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:55:39 -0400 To say I dislike Microsoft PowerPoint is an epic understatement. At the end of this article, you’ll find a few URLs that explain, in detail, why PowerPoint is a blight on humanity. But I come not to bury PowerPoint, but to praise Comic Life Magiq. Keynote is a better PowerPoint. But Comic Life Magiq is a better tool for talking to the masses. http://www.wap.org/journal/comiclifemagiq/ 31F983B3-A5B8-4354-B5A2-C6653F2FD624-10986-0000A554532FEDD1-FFA Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:55:34 -0400 The ink on my first issue was barely dry when, armed with my success, I ventured into deep waters. “Why isn’t the Journal published electronically?” This is the story of how the Washington Apple Pi Journal went electronic. http://www.wap.org/journal/ejournal/ 56F7028B-2D48-4622-9D24-DA314CD656DE-10986-0000A5533C3C98E5-FFA Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:55:27 -0400 Time Machine, the whimsically named backup technology built in to Mac OS X 10.5, is probably the single best feature in the entire operating system. A Mac user doesn’t need to add or patch or alter a thing: just install Mac OS X 10.5, and then attach to an appropriate backup device. http://www.wap.org/journal/timemachine/ 9BA1C6F3-CF84-45B9-AA53-39FE42791E70-10986-0000A5523B38F297-FFA Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:55:22 -0400 As Spiderman learned, with great power comes great responsibility. Yes, you can now store staggering amounts of information, and retrieve it very quickly, too. And you can also lose staggering amounts of information. This potential loss is behind Apple’s inclusion of Time Machine with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Time Machine takes about 95% of the effort and pain out of backup. Disk Utility makes sure your drives are healthy and can be backed up. http://www.wap.org/journal/diskutility/ 8E4D9568-F906-4BE2-B143-AF9CD25E5292-10986-0000A5510CE7FBC4-FFA Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:55:17 -0400 slide:ology, by Nancy Duarte, should be required reading for every high school and college student, and anyone in the workforce -- particularly government -- who has to do a presentation. If you find the approach Duarte advocates too much work, please retire as soon as possible. The world will be a better place. http://www.wap.org/journal/slideology/ D30298EE-09F7-4B67-BB17-C6594BEA53B1-10986-0000A5501849B736-FFA Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:55:13 -0400 User Guide to the Washington Apple Pi electronic forums, the TCS.
