For our last meeting, until we reconvene in August, we tried a new day and a new time. After polling all our guild participants as to what would be a more favorable time to meet, it was clear that something in the middle of the week and in the early afternoon (EST) would work best. So we tried that. We met today, Wednesday, at 2p.
Today we covered
- the fact that this would be our last meeting until August
- the new meeting day and time
- today’s agenda (interview, tutorial, and tips)
- we prayed (asking God to attend to Rachael Abbott’s needs and her family’s needs as they say their good bye to her grandmother)
- We then introduced Rafal Zielinski who has worked with us this year as a part of our Year One internship. We heard a little bit about of Rafal’s history up to the point in which he resides today, which a newly accepted staff member of our ministry. In the midst of his story is a unique quest he is in the midst of fulfilling which is a design a day. You can read more about that at his design blog.
- Greg and Sara showed us how we can share a color palate from one CS program to another. Greg gave a RGB example and Sarah demonstrated a pantone exchange.
We closed out with tips. We looked at:
- Tungle.me
- mpdgarden.com
- gist.com
- Default Folder (a Mac application with nifty shortcuts to typical Finder tasks)
- macupdate.com
