Exactly that. I don't know your background or anything but I trust you'll join in and if nothing else spread the word?

Just in my town alone I know of several churches that use tech but have no tech head in their small congregation yet they use computers, etc. My FIL& MIL are a classic example - just the other day the FIL asked "what do people do that don't have a Stuart" - made me smile, but the MIL's answer was spot on ... they have to pay and whilst I don't envisage everyone donating their time for free I do expect that they will cut a favourable deal with the end church thus freeing up resources for missions, etc.

Strike one for google then ... I was just passing on what I found through them :)

Hi and thanks for the comment - I've left that intact but have removed the onwards link as that was just advertising and whilst I'm not against adverts I like to know what they are first.

I'd like for it to be more active than just a database, though in its early days that is probably pretty much what it will be.

I'd like to see a newsletter, blog posts, forum for the techs, etc - have you any specific ideas or thoughts yourself? As at the moment the vision has been cast and now it is about refining, defining and activating it.

Thanks Jim. If you hadn't of responded I would have come a knocking anyway :)

I'm with you Chris.

I, like Jim Walton of ChurchTechMatters, see such value in the use of QR codes especially within the church but my day to day paid work role also makes me acutely aware of the inherent dangers within 'obfuscated code'.

I get that I do - but in reality the outcome shouldn't be any different.

The point I was trying to make was that nobody else feels bad about missing a day here and there so as an HC the attendees should understand there will be times when the host can't host.

Spot on Greg. We had a similar sort of experience to your brother with our eldest when we visited EuroDisney. My eldest, if you didn't know, is diagnosed as profoundly deaf. Anyway, Disney's T&Cs weren't 100% clear where their line was drawn in terms of reduced entry for a disabilty.

I pre-empted all that by contacting them and then double checking their reply. Then when we visited we took print outs of the email chain but still staff on the door refused to acknowledge the disability... a very embarrased half hour later we paid full price but then I went after Disney big time on my return to the UK. It took them 6mths to issue a refund and apology but I got it.

So like your lesson with the children - sometimes one needs to keep at it until the result goes your way.

I can't promise to check everyday but certainly will check yours specifically and the tag as often as I can.

Create away!.

Understood. I didn't include it above but I use and pay for Mozy (though thinking of changing) because I can assign certain folders to be monitored and auto backed up.

The reason for not including it was that they didn't have an anywhere, anytime sync product. They sort of do now though still in beta called Mozy Stash and so far it works real nice. But they don't do a mobile version yet though one can pick ones own encryption key.
