Last night I had the pleasure of addressing the members of the DMA. The club used a WiFi hotspot for the connection and it was nice to be able to report that the hotspot worked flawlessly. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session.

Based on our investigation, you don't appear to have logged into "This Is Your Digital Life" with Facebook before we removed it from our platform in 2015. However, a friend of yours did log in.

They may also have shared your hometown." Although I was careful, this still resulted in quite a bit of my information being shared.As you can see from this, "Choosing your Friends wisely", is important. ...

Getting ready for a remote presentation. 35 members of the Facility attended his morning's ZOOM presentation. After resolving a problem with their audio, the presentation went off without a hitch. Unfortunately, the time spent fixing the problem, prevented us from have the usual Q&A session after the meeting. The program chair has already booked a live presentation for Feb 1, 2019.

The day starts at 9:30 AM with a presentation for the Channel Islands PC Users Group In Camarillo, CA. Once that presentation  is over, it's time to head back home. I'll either get home very late tonight or early Sunday morning.

Keeping Avast Free - FREE

https://photos.app.goo.gl/x0cv6Eiw3iWoq5eC2 This morning I had the pleasure of doing a presentation for the Seniors of the SCV Senior Center in Santa Clarita Valley, CA Not all presentations are done for Computer Clubs. Even if you don't belong to a club, you still need to know about safe computer and internet practices.
