Tell Your Story Using Video
Event on 2012-09-21 09:00:00

Get a Flip Video camera (to keep) and start making your own videos to help you attract attention, volunteers and contributions to your nonprofit.

This workshop is for smaller nonprofits, with limited resources. We can only accommodate ten teams of two people (only one team per organization).

By the end of the three session your team will learn:

  • How you can film, edit and share a video all in one day;
  • How to tell a compelling story using video; and
  • How to share the videos on your website, YouTube and other social media channels.

Production of the Flip Video camera was discontinued in 2011, but you'll still find users, parts and support that make this a worthwhile tool. Learning to use this simple pocket camera gives you skills you can transfer to digital movie making using a smartphone or other device. It's easy, low-cost and fun!

 

To participate you must: 

  • Be staff members or volunteers of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (or operating under a fiscal sponsor) in Santa Cruz County;
  • Be part of a team from the same organization with the same two participants attending all three sessions (no exceptions);
  • Have an annual operating budget under .5 million;
  • Have use of at least one laptop computer, with a newer PC operating system (Windows 7 or higher) or a Mac with iMovie, that is brought to all three sessions;
  • Be willing to start making videos for your nonprofit; and
  • Commit to completing at least one video by the end of the three sessions that you share with us.

 

Trainers: Ryan Owen Mulligan, production supervisor, Community Television of Santa Cruz County, and Kim East and Katie McClellan of the Community Foundation.

 

When:     Fridays, September 21, October 18 and November 16, 2012
Time:      9:00 a.m. to 12 noon (includes coffee, tea and breakfast snacks)
Where:  Community Foundation Santa Cruz County

Why does my computer tell me a firewall is active even if I don’t have one?

On April 2, 2012, In Tips, Tricks and How-To, By T2Rman

Question by lpolancoh: Why does my computer tell me a firewall is active even if I don’t have one?
A few days ago I started to download a 3 3gB file using Bit Comet and it started great, at around 100 kB/s. Then, after about 10 minutes, it went down to 5 kB/s and stayed around there. I followed many guides which suggested opening ports and enabling UPnP on my router. I did all of this and it stayed really slow. Yesterday, a friend recommended using Vuze, which I did, but the download was still really slow. I tested opening and using different ports, but all the Vuze tests came as if the ports were closed, even though I had previously opened them with my router. After further research, I found a test (JFirewall Test) that told me which ports were open and which weren’t. It said a firewall was blocking all my ports, yet I don’t have any firewalls active. And when I try to change the Windows firewall settings, my computer tells me it can’t change the setting because the firewall isn’t activated. When I try to activate it, it tells me “Windows cannot activate the firewall/ICS”
“JFirewallTest has established that a firewall is blocking all inbound connections to this computer,” even after following your answers (I disabled my antivirus (both of them) and unchecked the Windows Firewall in the Services tab. In response to Gary’s answer, I cannot activate the Windows Firewall to ope the ports. The computer just doesn’t let me, it shows me an error message.

Best answer:

Answer by zak l
if u have an anti virus running – it may be blocking that application.
goto start – RUN and type msconfig
on the window which appears goto the startup tab and disable your antivirus – restart ur computer and now see if the applic ation is running well or not – u should revert back to the previous setting and reactivate ur antivirus – at least u will know the root casuse and then think wot to do next.

Q&A: Can you tell how to download Mac OS X Leopard Operating System in free?

On July 14, 2011, In Tips, Tricks and How-To, By admin

Question by vittalbhai001: Can you tell how to download Mac OS X Leopard Operating System in free?
For example, anyone who has high speed internet facility, can download Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu etc operating systems in free. But this guy(the ask-er) has not been able to download Mac OS X operating system which has “costs” tagged to itself. So, please help how to download in free.

Best answer:

Answer by inconclusive_conjunction
I can’t. Mac OS X is not a free operating system. Ubuntu and Edubuntu are Linux distros, which generally ARE free.

The closest you can get is downloading Darwin, the core on which OS X is built.

Question by Kevin Chisholm: How can you tell if a server is running on VMware?
A have a vendor that I need to do some work on a customer’s Windows 2003 Standard server. He is asking me if it is a VMware client. How can I be sure if it is or not?
BTW, I’d like to avoid asking the customer because he is not technical, and does not have a full time admin. Need to know how to tell by looking at the server. Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by owsleyskid
Ask the customer if he’s running it under VMWare

How can you tell if VMWare is installed on a server?

On February 4, 2011, In Virtual Computing, By admin

Question by Mafat Laal: How can you tell if VMWare is installed on a server?
We have to figure out a way to find out if VMWare is installed on the server. The System Administrator is not here anymore. However, if there is a way to figure this out via a command, shell/bat script, or by looking at the file system please let me know.
Thank you.

Best answer:

Answer by KaliMan
how about:

cd /
find . -name “VM*” -print

If you run this as root you’ll be able to scan the entire file system.

Question by silent assassin: Can someone tell me how a data recovery software actually works?
I’ve a presentation tomorrow in which I have to tell how a data recovery software works in a nutshell. How it traverses through HD, how it judges whether the data is a complete file or Allocation Table….? How it tells what’s the file extension? etc
Plz tell if you have relevant information… best answer gets 10 points!

Best answer:

Answer by Toby
Dude, it sounds like you’ve put your research project off until the last minute. Sucks to be you. You aren’t going to get any answer here that is a substitute for everything that you need to know for your presentation. It’s a highly technical subject. Volumes could be written about it.

Q&A: Can someone tell me What you THINK … Technology is ruining our economy !!!!?

On December 28, 2010, In The Internet And Your Health, By admin

Question by Amelia: Can someone tell me What you THINK … Technology is ruining our economy !!!!?
I have to say that the technology is ruining our LIFE’s .. Computers are taking over our Jobs. People without JObs affects our Economy. Self Checkouts at the supermarkets. Those computer could be actual people working, instead is a computer. When you call 411, most of the time is answer by a computer that could answers and understand your question.
That could be an actual person talking to you, but is not. Your Job could be next. EZ pass, how many have lost their job since they dont need them at the toll booth. It keeps happening and happening. Now even your car insurance could be done over the internet and thats one less person behind a desk. I think a few of the fields that are never going to affected are MEDICAL and EDUCATION, you are always going to need a doctor and teacher to teach you. However whats going to happen when technology takes over and most of our society looses their job, because a computer took over = NO jobs, people dont spend money our economy goes down.
our ECONOMY goes down, we go into a ressesion. Even us and childrens are becoming lazy since we depend so much on computers. Caculators, dictionary are not even neede anymore. Maybe it is a great invention, but do you think that is helping us or dragging us down ??
we are in a recession, and Big corporations and other company are reducing their staff in a drastically way, how are you saying that JOBS have increase ?? ..and most of this people have masters and bachelor degrees so how is the new civilizition not taking pitty on the weak ? Theres not pitty, and yeah NEW advancement in technology is going to hurt us all.

Best answer:

Answer by Kyle H
You are absolutely right.

The government needs to create a system that gives money to people who have been laid off because of advancement of technology. It is truly unfair for a cashier to be replaced by a machine.
