Disclaimer: All standard disclaimers apply. Your mileage may vary. Void where prohibited. These meeting notes are meant to supplement participation in group meetings. Relying on these notes without attending meetings is like relying on notes for Huckleberry Finn without reading that book. Participation makes for a richer, more interactive experience.
If you are unemployed or underemployed, I suggest you attend meetings at a job support group near you. Thank you.
To make the files available here using my Windows 7 laptop, I:
1 attend the meetings and take notes
2 use Dragon Naturally Speaking and LibreOffice to create Writer documents
3 use Writer to convert the documents to the portable document format
4 use Audacity to record audio files and edit the files to remove white noise and speech errors
5 use Paint.net and Windows Live Movie Maker to convert the text and audio to movies
6 post the movies to YouTube
7 add links to this page.
