What's up with Jim and Chris - the Geeks
|
March At the beginning of March, we were still traveling in Indonesia. The photo above comes from Bali. It's called Garuda Wisnu Kencana. Wisnu is the god, sitting on his eagle-like steed called Garuda. Imagine the statue of Liberty, now make it a third bigger! You can see
this statue from the plane! It was quite impressive. We completed our travels and arrived home mid-March. We're happy to be home for a while.

Can Artificial Intelligence like Chat GPT plan your next trip?
|
Every techie worth their salt is writing about the Artificial Intelligence tool called ChatGPT. In February I wrote about using
ChatGPT to write poetry! Now that we're back home and thinking about an RV trip, I decided to ask it to plan a trip for us. It doesn't actually make your reservations or give turn-by-turn directions, but I find it quite useful in giving me an outline of where to go. The key is in learning how to talk to AI Chatbots.

How Google Calendar can keep you from missing an event by setting your default notifications.
|
I’ve been using Google Calendar to notify me of upcoming appointments ever since I started using a smartphone, and yesterday I found it especially useful. I want to make sure that all of you know how to set the default settings so that you get a
notification before any upcoming event. I had completely forgotten about my Yoga class at 10:30. I also completely forgot about a dinner party we were going to at 6pm. Because of my default settings in Google Calendar, I get a ringing automatic notification an hour before any
appointment. Whew! I made it just in time. Thank you Google Calendar!
