This has been an interesting, if somewhat hectic, month for me. A number of things have been going on in my personal life that took a fair amount of time to deal with. A number of things were also going on with our computer club. The stuff that has been going on in my personal life will stay personal, but I will try and fill you in on some of the things have been going on with the club. One of the more obvious things at this point in time, you haven't received your copy of the Orange Bytes in the mail. But then nobody has and nobody will. As was mentioned last month, Ted Littman resigned from all of his offices and functions. The relevant one here, is that of editor of the club's newsletter. On the negative side, we were unable to find anybody with the time and skill to take over that job and continue publishing the printed version of the newsletter. On the plus side, Rudy Lauterbach volunteered to take over as webmaster.
In addition to the regular tasks of updating the information on the website, Rudy said that he would attempt to do two additional things. One of those is to freshen the look of our website and add features to it. So in the near future, you should see several changes to the appearance of the pages on our website. Not only in terms of aesthetics, but the inclusion of some of the nifty are things that can be done with the more up-to-date coding practices that are available today. The second thing that he said he would attempt as his time and ambition permitted, was an HTML equivalent of most of the content of the newsletter or at least some of the more important stuff. While it is still a work in progress, I am impressed with what he has done. Go to www.noccc.org and take a look. Having everything on an orange background, might be taking the Orange Bytes concept of little too far, but then that can be changed. So until, and in less, we can find another person to take over the job of editor, this is how the monthly news will be disseminated.
Ben Lochtenbergh has volunteered to do the Main meeting presentation in May, and you can read the details in the new online version of the Bytes. We have one person who said that he could take care of the paperwork portion, or the behind the scene tasks, whichever way you want to look at it, of the Reviews Editor. So if we can find somebody who is willing to man the reviews table in the morning during the club meeting, that function may be able to be continued.
I will be reminding everyone here, and at the meeting, that the elections are going to be held in June and we still do not have anyone volunteering to run for the office of President and Vice President. Surely there is somebody out there who would like the fame, if not the fortune, of being President of NOCCC. We need these offices to be filled people, so do a little soul-searching and see if you can fill one of those positions. See you at the meeting. Jim Sanders
