Next Meeting: Robert Blake on Tumblr (Tuesday Aug. 25th)

August 21, 2009 By Cotton Rohrscheib Comments

We are gearing up for another Central Arkansas Refresh meeting this month!  This month Robert Blake is going to speak on Tumblr. If you aren’t familiar w/ Tumblr, it lets you effortlessly share anything. Post text, photos, quotes, links, music, and videos, from your browser, phone, desktop, email, or wherever you happen to be. You can customize everything, from colors, to your theme’s HTML.

This should be a great meeting.  In addition to Robert’s talk on Tumblr, we are also going to have the usual swag and software giveaways as well as our first shipment from O’Reilly of books that we requested.  So, if you requested a book to review, be sure to be in attendance to pick that up. 

The meeting starts at 6:30 and will be in the basement of the Flying Saucer.  Everyone is Welcome! Bring a friend!  If you are in our facebook group, be sure to RSVP so we can get an idea on headcount.  If you need directions, here’s the map:

Survey from O’Reilly

August 11, 2009 By Cotton Rohrscheib Comments

We received this note from O’Reilly, if you are interested, please take their survey:

Can you share this survey with your members if you think they’ll be interested?

If you’ve used our popular programming Cookbooks, you know just how useful they can be in helping you solve all kinds of programming problems. (And if you haven’t used our Cookbooks, check them out on our website. You can download sample recipes by clicking on specific book titles and selecting “Sample Recipes.”)

We’ve received many requests for videos that present the Cookbook recipes step-by-step, so we recently created 4 sample clips that are available online.

Now we’re eager to gather your feedback.

All you have to do is watch the sample video and tell us what you think about it. When you complete the survey, we’ll automatically enter you into a special drawing.* Three winners will receive the opportunity to select a collection of O’Reilly ebooks valued at up to $200.

*The drawing will be held on August 19, 2009. The winners will be notified via email. If we don’t hear back from a winner within 14 days, the prize will be awarded to another survey respondent. Winners will have 90 days to make ebook selections.
