Computer Boy Strikes Again!

Well, I went into my web based email and downloaded the newsletter that Barbara Bessey sent me to my desktop and also the Survey she sent and I then edited my last blog post and uploaded them to that posting. I previewed the post a couple of times and it seemed to work so I published it. I hope some one who didn't already have it reads it and uses it for the purpose intended. I guess if they don't or it doesn't work for them my work or attempt was for not but at least, I learned a few things and… Continue

3rd Meeting of WVBIC announced for September 11th! And...????

I had an opportunity to speak with Barbara Bessey this week and she was in the final stages of getting out the 1st newsletter to the mailing list and announcing the next meeting out at LBCC. I will see if I can post all the scoop on this site. Not sure of the reason it isn't already on here but I am just a prodder not a driver of the train. Not exactly sure how to upload, download and reload but it sure seems easier then the process and system currently being used. The newsletter is great. The p… Continue

The next meeting of WVBIC is set for the 2nd week of September and she is assisting the establishment of several more BIC sites around the state. Progress is happening on the "real" web sites that will… Continue

Minutes of 2nd meeting of WVBIC are ?????

I am still waiting and the last time got in trouble for asking but I do wonder how long it takes to publish the minutes of meetings. Maybe this isn't the right place to publish them or maybe they are published and sent out but only to those who attended or maybe I just need more patience. How is the real web site for WVBIC coming? I heard that a free one year trial membership to the Oregon Bioscience Association was offered to all who attended the 2nd meeting. Could this possibly be correct. See… Continue

IMPLANS times 2 or maybe 3

Lots of ideas but so little time and so little money. Sound familar. I started another forum discussion and we will see if anyone on the WVBIC.NING site has the interest to join the effort to push for a couple of IMPLANs to see what emerging cluster makes the most sense in our area. I have an affiliate client at the BEC now who is looking for funding to do a demonstration project at the Corvallis Municipal Airport Industrial Park. Oregon Soil, Inc. is the areas expert on vermiculture and is look… Continue
