I really just go to genealogy conferences for the people. I liked your idea of mostly just posting pictures. :-)

I haven’t looked at my photos yet – another late night!

Great to see you and your Android today.

I love the idea. I saw how the results looked based on the history. I liked the overview given in the analysis. I say definitely work on this one. It’s a winner!

OK, maybe I should have capitalized? The password is GJG, like Ginger Jewish Genealogist. :-)

I think lowercase and caps will both work the way I’ve got it programmed.

Hi, I tried to access your gen assist (I teach a couple of beginning genealogy classes and I thought your idea was terrific, so was eager to check it out and show it to them), but using “blog” or even “Blog” as the user and “gig” as the password is getting me a “password is incorrect” note. Tried it several times.

Eastman deletes anything that shows he has been wrong.
He also deletes and then reposts as ‘new’ again.
For example A New Computer Revolution is Rising Around Us
http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2007/03/a_new_computer_.html
deted and reposted as a ‘new’ blog post:
http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2010/01/a-new-computer-revolution-is-rising-around-us.html
He does this all the time, always deleting all the comments!

Thank you for an enlightened post. I get tired of the Applefanatics thinking ipads are the only game in town. I’ll put my Kindle Fire up against an ipad for genealogy any day.

That sounds a little harsh. Dick is a tech guy. He’s admitted to someone I know that he’s not a genealogist, so it’s just odd that he has a newsletter/blog for genealogists.

He is kind of oblivious about social networking too. He has admitted to not using them, just posting links to his blog. A bunch of genealogists on Twitter got hacked once and he was one. I tried to explain it to him and he couldn’t even understand what I was telling him. Emails were traded for a few days and he never understood how to even look at his own timeline.

I haven’t witnessed him deleting posts, just not posting comments. I wouldn’t say he’s a disgrace, but a lot of people listen to him and maybe he should take that into account more. Unfortunately, he’s not the only person involved in genealogy who comes off as arrogant.

Dick likes to present himself as a ‘technology expert’, but he is just a low-level support guy who switches tapes at night. I’m not kidding here, HE SAID SO HIMSELF in another discussion about erroneous claims he made, WHICH HE LATER DELETED, because so many readers pointed out so many errors.
He makes a lot of errors, and isn’t mature enough to admit them. He has even DELETED ENTIRE BLOG POSTS to hide the errors he makes! Dick Eastman is a disgrace to the genealogy blogging community.
