Title: Take Better Notes in Obsidian
Time: 10 October 2024 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Place: Online Zoom meeting only; see description
Postponed until a future meeting date due to the fact that we initially sent out the wrong Zoom meeting ID to mailing list members, and many people did not receive the last-minute correction in time to join the meeting.
Presented by Brendan Kidwell, NYACC Board Member
Expanding on Brendan Kidwell’s Lightning Talk Last Month:
- The importance of keeping daily notes.
- Considerations for choosing note-taking software.
- Introducing Obsidian (free open-source software for your desktop or mobile device).
- How to set-up Obsidian for successful journaling and data gathering.
- Finding your old notes; exporting and sharing with others; syncing notebooks across your own computers.

One of them will send you instructions to join our Zoom meeting from desktop computer, laptop, mobile device, or from a phone call. PLEASE REMEMBER TO MUTE YOUR MICROPHONE WHEN YOU ARE NOT SPEAKING.

The New York Amateur Computer Club was established in March 1975 with the mission to further education in diverse areas of personal computing. The presentations at monthly meetings cover various platform computing systems and range from in-depth technical subjects to general overviews with broad appeal.
General meetings are always held on the second Thursday of each month and start promptly at 7 PM with announcements followed by a period of Questions and Answers called Random Access in which members and visitors are encouraged to ask technical questions or ask for advice on purchasing or using software, hardware, and related issues. There is a short break before the main presentation to enable attendees to meet and greet each other and to buttonhole people to get more detailed answers to specific questions. As an alternate to the main meeting, if a few people are interested, a new- or prospective-user group meeting is held to assist beginners.
The general meetings are open without charge to the public. Please consider becoming a member for $20 per year or renewing your membership, to help cover our operating costs. See instructions at nyacc.org .
