Is there any way of lighting it enough in the scan stage to catch what image there might be?

I have been reviewing a few different software options for personal document management and wondered if any of you have done the same. Does anyone have experience with DEVONthink, NeatWorks, Paperless, etc.? I have also read about people using Evernote for this but I am not sure how comfortable I am with putting certain information into the cloud.

The S300M seems great so far. For the time being, I am just looking for a solution for my personal documents. Do you think DEVONthink would be overkill? It almost seems like a folder based system using the Finder/Spotlight would be a good way to start for now. From what I can tell, this is about the only solution that allows for complete data portability. Once I've started using DEVONthink or NeatWorks it would be a great hassle to change my mind.

From inflatablesoulmate at brothersofchaos.com Mon Mar 8 21:45:29 2010 From: inflatablesoulmate at brothersofchaos.com (Matt Stanton) Date: Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:45:29 -0600 Subject: [DM-MUG] For all the Mac Gamers Message-ID: <4B95C459.6090605@brothersofchaos.com> Dunno how many 'Mac Gamers' there may be on the list, but I thought I'd point this out in case anyone hasn't seen it, yet. http://www.macrumors.com/2010/03/08/valve-officially-announces-steam-and-game-library-coming-to-mac-in-april/ Valve Software recently announced that they are making the Steam client available for Macintosh, but even more surprisingly, they are porting their Source game engine to Mac OS X. In April, they are supposedly making their full line of Source engine games available for Mac. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, Valve software has been one of the most impressive game studios for the past probably 10 years. The Source engine powers games such as Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead (1 and 2), Portal, Half Life 2, Day of Defeat:Source, and CouterStrike:Source. I'm a huge gaming fan, and I have been using a PC as a 'gaming rig' for as long as I have been using computers. If Valve steps out of the box, here, and starts taking advantage of the hardware available in the new Intel-based Macs, then we could see Mac becoming a pretty hefty contender in the enthusiast/gaming market. The Mac Pros are already built like you'd expect a PC gaming computer to be built, and many of them came with an nVidia graphics card (even the ATI HD 2600 in the Mac Pro at work would be sufficient to run Team Fortress 2 or CounterStrike:Source). How many of you Mac users have heard "I would use a Mac, but it's not good for gaming"? Looks like that might not be a viable argument for much longer!

This happens occasionally, especially on sites that are not well maintained. These incidents fall into two categories - for commercial gain and for acting cool and making a show of yourself. If this were for commercial gain then they'd have kept it a secret that the server was hacked and used it for sending spam or spreading viruses and malware. Instead they defaced the website and wrote their name on it. This indicates that it was someone trying to impress others. The term for this type of person is a "script kiddie." People who run websites and run servers can help avoid getting hacked by making sure the software they run is kept up to date. For example, if you run wordpress for your blog make sure to upgrade it when new versions come out. Or if you're a server admin make sure you install software updates. The best way to do this is to subscribe to the announcement mailing list of the software packages you use. This way you'll be notified by email when new updates are available. -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode, skype, linkedin, identi.ca and twitter From VLH at HerringLaw.com Sat Mar 13 09:02:30 2010 From: VLH at HerringLaw.com (Victoria L.

The Pro Office version costs a fair amount, but it's absolutely solid software, has a devoted, sophisticated user base (mostly academics, writers, and researchers), so the discussion forums are very helpful and well participated by users, but also, the company. They just finalized Version 2 after about a year of beta releases and it's great. FWIW, they released a new beta out to all registered users about once a month during the updating period and then the new V. 2 was available free to all current users. So I was really happy with this process and approach by the company. As for data portability, DT does NOT change the format or capture your information in a proprietary format. If you import or index a PDF into DT, the PDF remains a plain old PDF. Same thing for Word, Excel, Pages, etc... documents. The only thing that's proprietary within DT is its database of your data/documents/images. So if DT as a company were to go close down tomorrow, you would still have all of your documents, data, and original files to use unaltered. Again, it's an upfront cost, but the integration with ScanSnap, auto-OCR, and the power of the program itself is absolutely incredible for a desktop piece of software. I'm not connected with the company in any way, just a very satisfied user. On 3/11/10, Victoria L.

The format of topic/speaker/presentation is dead. The writing has been on the wall for a couple years now, and with two cancellations, I am certain that more will be coming. DMMUG needs to change to survive. I want to offer a new format: I now have a live online radio show that broadcasts every Tuesday @8 PM on worldwidelocallive.com, from the Re/Max Studio in the Kaleidoscope Mall downtown, which is a few blocks from Impromptu Studio. The url for the blog and archives is http://www.talkingmac.com. Anyone that would like to meet and talk about Macintosh, iP(x) devices, and technology is welcome to congregate in the lobby of the studio. My show will be playing through the radio, but you are welcome to talk about whatever you wish between eight and nine. Every week. There's no requirement to sign up or show up, other than the fact that the door is open*, the invitation given, and I will be there doing my show. I may pull individuals into the studio from time to time, but only if you wish to be on the show. This is an opportunity for fans of Apple products to get together for the sake of getting together. If you choose to come once a month, great! If you choose to come more, Great! If you would like, DMMUG may be able to purchase (non-alcoholic) beverages and sponsor the networking event coinciding with the fourth Tuesday of the month. Of course, that is up to you, the members, but I raise it as an option. The invitation has been given. If the DMMUG collective doesn't want to transition to this format, or would rather do so at a different location, that's fine. My invitation still stands independently to everyone. Bring a beverage, and plan on meeting friends of old and new alike. *You'll actually need to get into the skywalk through the partnership building (across from the Register on Locust,) as the doors to the Kaleidoscope are locked at this time.

That is a hex code, and you won't find it on your keyboard (at least, I couldn't). But there is a way to use it if you're willing to jump through a couple of hoops. Assuming you're using 10.6... Open System Preferences -> Text & Languages and go to the Input Sources Tab. Check "Keyboard & Character Viewer." A new menu should appear to the left of your clock. Pull down this new menu and select "Show Character Viewer." A window will appear. In this new window, there is a View pull-down. Open this and select "Code Tables." Click to the Unicode tab if it is not already selected. In the upper portion of the window, scroll down to 00002300 "Miscellaneous Technical" and select it. In the lower portion of the window, scroll down to the 2320 line. The alt character is in column 5. Click Insert Or you could just copy it from right here: ? Jeremy R.

(Agile Iowa - A Software Development group, http://agileiowa.org) One of the things that we do and I personally like is meet at a restaurant/bar and have informal conversations about various Agile development topics. It's nice to just get together around a couple of beers and talk about what is interesting to us in the Agile world. Sometimes the topic is about some things in the blogosphere that are generating buzz, other times it's about challenges practitioners face at work. Very informal. I've never attended a DMMUG meeting because I have often felt that the topics are more focused on general computing. What we find at the Agile meetings is that if 12 people show up, there could be 3 different topics going on during the meeting and people tend to re-arrange themselves around the topic that most interests them that evening. My 2 cents. Thanks! Brandon On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 11:21 PM, Ray Bowler wrote: > Jon, > > Thanks for bringing this up.

Most of the meetings in the past have focused on some limited number of points of interest, and if you have no need to learn about those points, then there isn't much reason to show up. All a social group needs is a single point of interest... something everyone has in common. Everyone will have something different that they are interested in learning from the group, and if the group is big enough, then there will likely be someone there to teach them what they want to know. Those who have no problems to solve will just strike up conversation with whoever else in unoccupied, and will be free to help anyone who is asking a question that falls into their expertise. The linux users group generally has some sort of topic planned in advance, but everyone knows that if no one is interested, the group will break down into a giant social discussion that tends to follow what the group is interested in. After the 'formal meeting' we generally walk down to a nearby restaurant/pub for food and drink and a much more social sort of setting. It's fun to show up just to talk to people who are doing much the same thing you are doing, whether it be systems administration, just tinkering with linux, or trying to find an alternative to a commercial OS. I think if the MUG followed the same course and did a better job of convincing their work buddies, families, and friends who use Macs to show up, then it would gain steam. It's kinda funny how there aren't many Windows Users Groups around... Windows users are sort of common... But Mac and Linux users tend to be the odd men out, and likely have more talking points than windows users do. I use all three OSes between my home PC running windows, my netbook and server both running Ubuntu linux, and my work computer being a Mac Pro. The only real thing I would be interested in asking questions about on the Mac is how to get a VPN server set up on it without using OS X server. But being in a casual environment to bounce around between conversations might give me a chance to learn little tidbits that I wouldn't even know that I might be interested in. Since there isn't really a real social environment at any part of the meeting, most of you aren't really very approachable. Being the 'new guy' and only having been in Des Moines for a relatively short period of time, I haven't been around long enough to decipher who on the list is who in the meetings (other than Ms. Herring). -- Matt On 3/20/2010 9:12 PM, Jon Thompson wrote: > That's exactly what I am aiming for, although I don't know if J > Michael McKoy would allow alcolhol. > > Anyhow, I have been very active as of late in the Des Moines startup > community.
