Hectic! I think I'm ready to go to SLC and RootsTech. We'll see!

* Wrote the Tuesday's Tip and Wordless Wednesday posts for the week. Wrote Questions for brightsolid at RootsTech 2012 and set it for early afternoon.
* Left at 10 a.m. to go to the foot store and get my orthotics. Pricy!
* Home by 11:30, Worked a bit in CensusRecords and put together First Look at CensusRecords.com Results - Post 1: Searches and Transcriptions and set it for mid-afternoon.

My genealogy days - 28 and 29 January 2012
Two more get-ups until we're off to Salt Lake City...Linda's packing.
1) Saturday, 28 January:
* Read email and blogs, noted that Surname Saturday - WAITE (England to Rhode Island) posted.
* Read about CensusRecords.com, so wrote Is CensusRecords.com the new brightsolid USA Venture? This had a decent scoop in it, and was highlighted on Twitter for awhile by genealogy folks.
* Started to listen to the FGS Radio show, but we left at 11:15 a.m. for Lolita's to meet Tami and the girls for lunch. Then home to get Audrey, Tami and Randy a nap while Linda took Lauren swimming at the Y.
* Noted that Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Your Maternal Grandfather's Paternal Line posted.
Watched Aztecs basketball and Torrey Pines Golf, took my nap. Audrey up at 2 p.m. to watch Disney TV.
* Steph and Mary and Steph's little ones came before 3 to visit, and we played the whole time. Not many pictures taken.
* We went to Panera for dinner, and See's afterwards. Got Audrey bathed and read to, then she was up and down for over two hours. Wrote Rock Star Genealogist Results. Spent most of the time reading, adding to the Best Of post, and printing off material for the trip.
Genealogy on Saturday was 5.0 hours.
2) Sunday, 29 January:
* Up late because Audrey woke up at 3:30... got Audrey's breakfast and mine, did Linda's letters, and barely read email before Tami and girls left for home and we went off to church.
* Home at 11:30 a.m. to read, then finished up the Best of the Genea-Blogs - 22 to 28 January 2012 post. Tuned into Scanfest and chatted until 2 p.m. Found two photo stitching programs and tried them out.
* Wrote Ancestry.com to LiveStream Sessions at RootsTech 2012.
* Wrote January 25th CVGS Program Review - "Genealogy Is Fun! Seriously!" and RootsTech 2012 Conference - LiveStreamed Sessions plus one more. Emailed board members my board report and members about RootsTech, respectively..

My genealogy day - 27 January 2012
Four more get-ups until we go off to Salt Lake City. I actually made some progress toward the goal today!
* Read email and blogs, wrote Follow Friday - This Weekend's Genealogy Radio Shows and then RootsTech 2012 - Livestreaming Schedule.
* Worked on the reference book, periodical and FHL microfilm lists, got them into PDFs, loaded onto Dropbox and Evernote, and they should be accessible when I want them wherever I am. Also created six ancestor reports (12 generations, no notes) and saved them as PDFs and put them on Dropbox (but not Evernote - would exceed my free storage).
* Wrote Questions for FamilySearch at RootsTech and then Follow-Up Friday - a Potpourri of Comments that need reading. Wrote two Surname Saturday posts for the next two weeks.
* Answered some email, checked Facebook, checked checked the Dropbox and Evernote apps on the tablet, and the saved data is there and readable. Posted Questions for Ancestry.com at RootsTech 2012.
* Signed into Geneabloggers Radio at 6, and went in at 6:15 p.m. for dinner. Back online at 6:30 for the show, then to Outloud.fm for the music fest. Left that to upload my music to Google Music (it's still uploading two hours later).
* Wrote the SNGF post for Saturday, then added to the Best Of post, worked for awhile in Find-a-Grave without finding much randomly, and wrote this post.

My genealogy day - 26 January 2012
Only five more get-ups until we leave for RootsTech on Tuesday. I'm still behind schedule...and didn't do much today to help myself.
* Read email and blogs, wrote Treasure Chest Thursday - Affidavits of Tabitha Cutter in Revolutionary War Pension Files and then Pennsylvania Church and Town Records, 1708-1985 on Ancestry.com.
* Added several apps to the Galaxy tablet so I can use it in SLC - Google Reader, Google Plus, Twitter, and several more. Revised many of the PDF syllabus article names so I know whose talk they belong to, then added the folder to Dropbox.
* Noted that RootsTech 2012 Presentations - 1:45 p.m., Saturday, 4 February posted, and answered a few emails.
* Wrote a Treasure Chest Thursday post for next week, and started a post about questions to be answered at RootsTech. Thought about working on the column article...but didn't.
* Found that Ancestry had changed the Learning Center, so gathered some screens and wrote Ancestry.com Revamps Their Learning Center.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch the debate on CNN - terrible questions and moderating. Ate dinner, read the paper, and back to work at 7 p.m.
* Worked on the CVGS Newsletter for over an hour, got caught up, just need content now - hope I don't have to provide all of it! Watched Marian's Massachusetts webinar - very well done.
* Checked Facebook, added to the Best Of post, and wrote this post.

My genealogy day - 25 January 2012
Five more days before flying off to SLC and I am even more not ready! Did complete a major task today.
* Read email and blogs, wrote (Not So) Wordless Wednesday - Post 189: Fred Shaw of Leominster, Mass.
* Put the presentation on the flash drive, added the files to the laptop, made sure it worked. Checked that the song was on the iPhone. Put the handouts in the laptop case. Ready to go!
* Wrote The Genealogy Bucket List Meme (Courtesy of Geniaus) and set it for mid-afternoon.
* Left at 10:30 a.m. for lunch with Janice and Olive (their treat, thank you, ladies!), and then to the library by 11:40 a.m. to get set up for the "Genealogy is Fun! Seriously!" presentation. Got the iPhone hooked into the house mike, the laptop up and running, and all set. Meeting started at 12:20, I was on at 12:45 or so. The audience of 40 or so had Genealogy Bingo cards - whenever I said a word, or they saw the word on the screen, they crossed it off. Got no totally filled cards, but it was close.
* Home by 2:30 to read, pondered writing something, but too sleepy so went in at 4:30 to take a nap. We ate dinner, watched TV and read the paper, I took out the trash.
* Online by 6:30 p.m. to read, write RootsTech 2012 Syllabus articles are online... and proceed to download many of the syllabus articles to my RootsTech 2012 file.
* Checked Facebook, added to the Best Of post, and wrote this post.

My genealogy day - 24 January 2012
One more week before we fly off to Salt Lake City. I am so not ready...
* Read email and blogs, wrote Tuesday's Tip - Check Out the FamilySearch TechTips Blog for Technology Topics and then worked on the last three RootsTech presentation posts.
* Saw that the RootsTech app available, so I downloaded it to my iPhone and went through all of the screens. Added some preferred presentations to the My Events list.
* Where did the time go? The Rootstech 2012 Presentations - 9:45 a.m. Saturday, 4 February post went up, and I went back to the RootsTech app.
* Wrote RootsTech 2012 App Available for Download to iOS and Android Units and started trying to Friend people on Twitter and Facebook. That doesn't work well. Tried to find a picture of me for the app, finally put the ice cream pic into Dropbox and then into Photos and then the app. Seemed like I wasted quite a bit of time today!
* Updated my Google Calendar data. Answered some email. Finally got around to adding some names, dates, pl aces and sources for my Ayres line from the Freeman book.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to watch TV, read the paper, eat dinner, and watch the Obama speech.
* Back online after 7:30 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, check Facebook, work a bit in Find-a-Grave, search for more genealogy humor on the internet, go over the presentation one more time, and write this post.

My genealogy day - 21 January 2012
It was a pretty typical Saturday - out early to a genealogy meeting, home to write and blog. even took my wife out to dinner.
* Read email and blogs in a hurry, noted that Surname Saturday - ALLEN (England > Massachusetts) posted.
* Left at 8:15 a.m. for the CGSSD meeting in the rain. got there in time, and joined the FTM User Group meeting with Ken moderating. We investigated several things. I downloaded the latest update too.
* After the refreshment break, Denise got there and set up for her talk on Dropbox. That went well with lots of audience interaction and questions. I downloaded Dropbox to my laptop during the talk.
* Headed for home at 12 noon, stopped at the pharmacy and got home and had lunch. Noted that Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Do Some Random Research posted.
* Added Dropbox to the Galaxy tablet also. Made sure the laptop Dropbox sync had completed.
* Worked in the database for awhile adding Pike data from the Freeman book (obtained at ACPL).
* We left for dinner at Outback at 4:30 p.m., had to wait until 5:15 to get seated. Decent dinner - blew my calories though, I'm too weak - can't resist french fries.
* Home at 6:30 to watch TV news and read the paper, then online at 7:15 to read, note that Rootstech 2012 Presentations - 1:45 p.m. Friday, 3 February posted.
* Messed around with Web Search in FTM 2012, and found a death record for Amy White! Added it and sourced it (FamilySearch). Looked for more unseen matches for my folks, but none popped up. Worked for about an hour in Find-a-Grave, got through about 140 of the Seavers now - up to Charles.
* Added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook and wrote this post.

My genealogy day - 20 January 2012
A stay-at-home day filled with writing and not much researching for some reason.
* Read email and blogs, then wrote Follow Friday - This Weekend's Genealogy Radio Shows. Moved the RootsTech post up to late morning.
* Sent my syllabus material off to the Family History Fair folks. Answered some email. Put my breakfast calories into the counter app. Wrote Follow-Up Friday - in which I Confess to Using Derivative Sources and set it for early afternoon.
* Started on my FORUM column about mobile devices for genealogy. I feel dangerous writing about this because I have one month experience.
* Added more data to the Counter app about lunch. Worked on the tablet a bit trying to figure things out better. Downloaded several apps also. Wrote the Surname Saturday post.
* Called for dinner at 5:30, then watched TV news and read the paper, forgetting about Geneabloggers Radio. Tuned in at 7 p.m. and then spent an hour afterwards on Outloud.fm. Good folks there!
* Read everything, researched and wrote the SNGF post, added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook and wrote this post.

My genealogy day - 19 January 2012
The morning was a pretty complete loss of genealogy time. The afternoon and evening were better.
* Read email and blogs, then wrote Treasure Chest Thursday - Kemp/Wilson Marriage Record. Wrote Who are the Genealogy Rock Stars? Nominate your Favorites and set it for later.
* Left at 9 a.m. for my doctor's appointment. Had to wait 45 minutes, so checked out medical apps on my iphone. Got into the office and he suggested another one - a calorie counter. Ouch. Got X-rays on my feet, then hurried off for the 11 a.m. lunch at Jimmy's with the Rohr retiree group. Fun. Had a Cobb salad...
* Home by 1 p.m. to read, then wrote Rootstech 2012 Presentations - 9:45 a.m. Friday, 3 February and wrote three more like it for the next few days.
* Forgot that I had real work to do, and got caught up in finding Richmond graves and census records on Ancestry.com and Find-a-Grave. Added quite a few notes and events and sources to my Richmond families.
* Called in for dinner at 5:30 p.m., read the paper afterwards, and did the laundry. Back online at 6:30 p.m. to work on the Genealogy Bingo cards for my talk next week (heh heh) - surprise CVGS!
* Got a set of 50 made, then went back to the Richmond data for awhile and added more events and sources. Added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook, and wrote this post.
