Administrivia: No News is Good News

Not a lot happened this month in the news. At least, not anything that struck me as worth covering here. I have added some more blogs to the Links page. There's been a bit of a flurry in some blogs about concepts like giving up some form of technology (Facebook is often mentioned as a possibility) for Lent. Other than that, things are pretty slow. In fact, some Christian software vendors haven't updated their sites, or sent out newsletters, in so long that I wonder if they might be on the verge of shutting down. Others are putting out news, but it's in the form of announcing the "latest version" of a product which is already listed in the Church Related Software Index. (That's not to say that the CRS is complete, or anything close to it. Just that I'm not finding any newsy news, like mergers or whatever, to share with you at the moment.)

CAMsoc Update

CAMsoc Update is a newsletter on computing in general, and Christian computing specifically. The contents are copyrighted by Greg Slade, and may not be reprinted or copied in any form without prior written permission from the author. Software and hardware developers, book publishers, etc., may send news releases for CAMsoc Update to the address listed on the contact page.

CAMsoc Update was originally published as a stand-alone newsletter for the Computer Aided Ministry Society of Canada from 1988 to 1990. From 1990 to 1992, CAMsoc Update was an occasional page on Canadian Christian computing news in Church Bytes. The items in Church Bytes did not carry Volume or Issue numbers, but I have assigned them to "Volume 2" and numbered them in the order that they appeared.

Now, CAMsoc simply stands for "Computer Aided Ministry Society", and the focus is on all aspects of computing of interest to Christians, but especially on telecommunications. The online issues start with Volume 3, Number 1 (July, 1995.)

How to subscribe

To subscribe to CAMsoc Update, you can register with the Mimerdesk tool at:

Associate.com

Once you are registered with Mimerdesk, you can join the CU list. Alternatively, you can send a message to:

cu-subscribe@associate.com

It doesn't matter what you put in the subject or body of your message. The simple fact that a message has arrived from your address will trigger the mailing list server to send you an automated response message, to ensure that you did, in fact, want to subscribe to the list. Once you reply to that response, you will be on the list. (Note: some ISPs, notably HotMail, consider mail from the associate.com domain to be "junk mail" and will filter it out unless you specify otherwise. If you do not receive the automated response, look for it in your "junk mail" folder, and once you are subscribed to the list, set your filter to accept mail from cu@associate.com.)

How to unsubscribe

To subscribe from CAMsoc Update, you can use the Mimerdesk tool at:

Associate.com

Alternatively, you can send a message to:

cu-unsubscribe@associate.com

It doesn't matter what you put in the subject or body of your message. The simple fact that a message has arrived from your address will trigger the mailing list server to take action.

How to change your address

Currently, you cannot tell the mailing list server to change your address. Therefore, if you wish to change the address to which CAMsoc Update is sent, use the methods listed above to subscribe the new address, and unsubscribe the old address.
