Hi All GMUG
These are not full meeting notes but there is a fair bit of information That we covered at this month’s meeting
Anyway,
Here are the URL’s that I promised at this month’s meeting
Skitch is a great application that allows you to take screenshots and Add some notes or other related information and then post them on the Internet using a one click button
It is made by the people who Made Comic Life More information is Available on the Skitch Website
We digressed in various directions While we were talking about 1Password
First I mentioned Don McAllisters Video Tutorial On 1Password Which Can be found Here.
Don McAllister Has done a fair few other videos which can be found on his website related to 1Password He does a lot of other good video tutorials as well Head over to ScreenCastsOnline to check them out.
Also why I was talking about 1Passwords Built-in Anti-Phishing Which uses a service called PhishTank I mentioned OpenDNS Who owns PhishTank
OpenDNS Offers Anti-Phishing Protection if you sign up with them and switch your DNS settings
Lastly Richard wanted to know if he could share his 1Password with multiple computers I recommended he use Dropbox - Secure backup, sync and sharing made easy. Which I have been trying out for a few months and have been loving it so far.
In Version 2.9 of 1Password They added sinking using other services other than .mac/MobileMe More information on how to set this up can be found here I Set this feature up for Richard on Tuesday and so far it seems to Work great.
