I don’t know what you’ll use this for but I bet you’ll think of something. Jing is a combination screenshot and video-making program. After installation you’ll see a small sun image at the top of your screen. When you hold your cursor to it, out pop three smaller suns. This entire image is the main program interface. Read more …

Not surprising, I have managed to get everyone thoroughly confused about where JLog is and where JLog isnt. If you are using a feed reader, this is the address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/jgen/icWw continued...

Not surprising, I have managed to get everyone thoroughly confused about where JLog is and where JLog isn’t. If you are using a feed reader, this is the address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/jgen/icWw which is the same address that’ll you get to if you click the orange subscribe button in the upper right. I’m watching the subscription numbers fluctuate up and down between two feeds that don’t exist anymore. They’re just an illusion. This is half the problem. As you can see, if you look close up, it’s going nowhere. That’s because I’m a ...

Moved again ...

Time for JLog to stop being such a country-hick and come into the modern age. As you can see, we now have Archives and Categories. We have Snippets of posts instead of reams of obscure titles. And we have Commenting by other than email … (That would be you.) It’s not everything. Moving entire posts would take months. So the snippets still go to the original pages as we’re accustomed to.

I've been dragging my feet about upgrading to EverNote 3. EverNote 2 is still available for download but they've dropped it on its head and someday it will be gone. Life without EverNote of some kind is unfathomable. continued...

Email from Barrry J. Ewell: Over the last couple years, I have met genealogists world-wide through conference presentations, genealogy research, and common interest to help one another in our search for ancestors. The focus of this email is simply to let you know that a new and exciting genealogy website will launch in the fall of 2008. continued...

Fellow JLikians, makers of genealogy wikis, how about moveable maps? Google Maps API is here to show you how. Here's an example. continued...

Several of you have asked for Legacy tips. continued...

It seems like just yesterday when FTM 2008 was the laughing stock of the genealogy world. As of today, Family Tree Maker 2009 is now released with a ream of improvements and new tools. Have they redeemed themselves? My guess would be Yes because anything less would be dumb. Many people bailed from FTM 2008 in favor of Legacy and Legacy has its own problems. continued...
