Just a reminder that on June 17th, I'll be distributing materials to those
who want to participate, via gmail / google docs. I see it being on you and your kids own time:

1. Pick a morning to take the to or share breakfast with them away from the normal home environment: park, living room, wherever is different.

2. Go through the meeting deck together.

3. Post your findings here. Posting would be:

I'm proud of ... because.
We discussed .... topic.
What I learned from my kids was ....
What I teachable moment I was able to help them through was ...
Challenge of the month selected (optional).

go to

www.allprodad/chapters/12159

to learn more, discover the months topic,
and to RSVP so I can send you the materials.

No harm in trying ... no time limit to reply ....

All Pro Dad also offers "virtual meetings" due to the COVID crisis, so if you like the concept upon doing it yourself with your children, you can attend a virtual meeting during these COVID19 times.

Hope a few of you participate!

Doug

The link I had sent was supposed to our own Fido Chapter page, that allows for participants to RSVP, see upcoming meetings, etc. I'll be reposting this weekend. I can NOT get netrunner to past into a Mystic full screen editor. I'm sure i"m doing something wrong; it copies to a clipboard just fine. If I typed the link out incorrectly, I'll be sure the one I do type out works prior to sending.

Might try just hitting the right mouse button in the editor. That's how I have to paste stuff in SyncTerm from my clipboard.

YMMV

Should just be able to use the right click menu in Netrunner to paste. Occasionally I've found that if there is a lot of content in the copy buffer the output can be weird (due to line length I guess) but other than that I do it all the time.

I finally figured that out. I need to use my mouse more often I guess. I
had been trying to CTRL-V. I guess I'm old school :)

I do the same thing. Since the ctrl-C and V work in all my text editors in
Win as well, it's just automatic to think it would work in a Windows based
text client.

ha! So true. I can always seem to solve the big issues, but it's the little ones I'll spend the most time on, to find out it was as simple as using my mouse .. I'm convinced my brain wasn't wired right .. at times. I do blame some of it on growing up in basic with a c64, then DOS; while also my js coding classes requiring repetitive short cuts and NOT using a mouse to prepare us for productive coding within a company that would hire us. So yeah, twice this week now, I've discovered such stupidly simple solutions after posting what I thought were flaws and or major problems relating to BBS'ing. It must be with my daughter and her family visiting us this week that I'm distracted and
just not able to think these problems all the way through :)


As for All Pro Dads. I captured the attention of the Family First
Organization and one of their corporate promoters was curious about how
FidoNet works and had RSVP'ed to attend the July 14th class. His intent
being to see if theres a way he could find effective formats to assist us in having this program more easily available through BBS's!! Unfortunately, nobody RSVP'ed. I'd be curious to know who, if anyone, has an interest in giving ONE meeting a test drive; and then discussing a way to (forget the
term) parse or scrape(?) the daily emails and once a month meeting content, then scripting it directly to this Dad feed? While I'm learining API coding, I'm no pro yet. But I'm sure we have the talent to have some on purpose dad topics to discuss and can't think of a better program to test ....If there is
a genuine interest, could anyone reading reply?
