Getting the Picture

Our Camera Club for the Over-50s

Now that we've got a bit more time on out hands, we can try to do those things we used to rush with a bitmore style.

In the past, perhaps, we approached photography without too much thought or planning, determined just to record the moment with no care for composition, depth of focus, lighting and all the rest of it.

IT doesn’t only change how we prepare our documents

...it changes the documents we prepare and how we distribute them.
We used to type out one CV, now we perhaps 4 or 5 different CVs, each designed for A different job opportunity.
We used to send them out only in response to an invitation; now waiting for that invitation could miss the boat.

The Computer-Based World has Arrived

...and we are the In-between Generation
The people who came before us didn't need to confront computers or IT: those who come after us have lived with it all their lives.

My trip to the Clyde resulted in a complete rebuild of Retired but Active, away went Frontpage and in came CSS. Kevin worked round the clock to remake some of the of the original stuff whilst i worked on new copy to widen the scope of the site.

But the basic problem of giving members real access remained. The only way we could do that involved asking for e-mails, then cutting and pasting. Kevin realised that this involved more work than seemed reasonable for someone who had a living to earn as well and dropped out.

Days on the Clyde

Of course it didn't work. It was mounted on the wrong software (software that resided on the home computer whereas Drupal stands on the server where anyone with the right passwords can access it), aimed at the wrong audience, and it was as boring and static as hell.

Otherwise it was fine.
