00:13:08 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): Note that, as usual, there will not be a Q&A session following the monthly meeting. However, if you have questions for next week's Q&A session, or shares that you wish to present, send the details to SuggestionBox@opcug.ca 00:16:48 Mark Cayer: Evening everyone. I noticed that the meeting announcement on OPCUG.ca does not have the link to the zoom meeting. I got here by link in the newsletter. I’m here with no MIC or Webcam as usual. 00:17:34 Denis Therrien: Similarly, I linked via the newsletter when I could not see the link on the meeting announcement 00:20:39 Mark Cayer: Membership Expense?? Is that money to PayPal? 00:21:27 Mark Cayer: Thanks Alan 00:22:47 Bill: Great job Alan. Nice simple easy to understand presentation. Thanks for all your work over the last year. 00:23:12 Carol Pearson: what is the current membership 00:24:13 Bill: And a big thank you to all past executive members. 00:24:26 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): @Carol 170 members to date - with a two-for-one special until March 31 00:25:13 Mark Cayer: I think it is about 170 as of February. 1st 2024 00:25:37 Mark Cayer: Can I move to accept the financial report?? 00:26:01 E O'Driscoll: Thanks to all the contributors in 2023. 00:26:26 Stew Bruce: Chris, I think it should be 28 attendees 00:26:27 Mark Cayer: Reacted to "Thanks to all the co..." with πŸ‘ 00:29:51 Chris Taylor, President: @Stew Bruce What, I shouldn't count you twice???😁 00:31:10 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): Are there any AI models that provide information solely on computer programming - as opposed to a general purpose AI system? 00:31:40 Mark Cayer: Please note that while our membership is 170 our OPCUG meetings are open to the public in keeping with our Not for Profit Educational status. 00:43:46 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): There is a "Copy code" button at the top-right of the code window that effectively combines Ctrl-A and Ctrl-C to copy all the program code to the clipboard 00:54:53 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): If you get a program error, one way to fix it is to give the error and the code to ChatGPT and ask it for a solution. AI is good at debugging code as well as writing it. 00:59:36 Bob Herres: I had to look it up GUI = graphical user interface 01:00:41 Brigitte: Very sorry everyone. I put an incorrect entry in a new redirect plugin for old events and new events were being redirected as well. All is fixed now, even Tom's presentation for any late comers. Brigitte 01:01:20 Mark Cayer: Reacted to "Very sorry everyone...." with πŸ‘ 01:02:38 Stew Bruce: @Bob Herres And if you have a touchscreen it can be spelled "Gooey" 01:11:48 Stew Bruce: @Jeff, have you been devoured by a big ball of green slime? 01:14:39 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): One can also ask ChatGPT how to obtain the missing module for Windows 01:28:46 Bob Herres: Excellent Tom! Thank you! Watching you work is inspiring. I certainly do not type very well. I thought it could really impede me? Watching your composed demeanor while calmly working through several issues was Enjoyable & Encouraging. I’m very interested.... 01:29:43 Stew Bruce: Very overwhelming! Thanks just the same :) 01:30:34 Jocelyn Doire: This presentation open the door to write programs much complicated I would want to entertain before. 01:30:49 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): It's useful to tell ChatGPT that you are developing a Windows program as it sometime assumes that you are using Linux. 01:31:59 Mark Cayer: Helps when you know the keyboard shortcuts to retrieve previous commands in the command line box 01:32:23 Gail Eagen (OPCUG Secretary): Thank you, Tom! Your debugging reminds me of my programming days. 01:32:53 Bob Herres: Can I find, use or adapt existing programs? to do what I'd like it to do? 01:33:21 Jocelyn Doire: learning to ask questions to ChatGPT is a skill by itself, we are all newbies in that. 01:33:30 Michelle Faber: Thank you. 01:34:27 Mark Cayer: Thanks Tom. This looks like a long deep dive β€œdown the rabbit hole” πŸ™‚ 01:35:40 Tom Trottier: 🌞 01:36:10 E O'Driscoll: Thank you for the great presentation. 01:36:29 Bob Herres: Thank you Tom! 01:36:29 Michelle Faber: Bye. Happy Valentine Day to all of you. 01:36:33 Mark Cayer: Night every one 01:36:35 Ed Morawski: good presentation!! 01:36:36 Timothy: Thanks Tom. 01:36:37 Allison: Thank you Tom!
