I use a different email program for these MUUG exchanges and for whatever reason the bells and whistles said it was sending to the group, but after the fact appears it was only sent to Adam. So my apologies I hereby correct my error. Eduard -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [RndTbl] Electronic filling in Manitoba Public Insurance Forms: Billing Travel etc medical expenses Date: 2022-01-21 04:52 From: eh(a)eduardhiebert.com To: Adam Thompson <athompso(a)athompso.net> Reply-To: roundtable(a)muug.ca In short, Adam thanks for sharing of your insight and experience. As a result of your timeliness, as you can see, thanks to yours I will now have an early start. Simultaneously I will add I am literally on an unrelated task focusing on toolmaking, both its functional capacities to do more with less effort. But in short, in areas of my own life, like you I too have more than enough history of been there done that working my way into dead ends. But of course not always Hope can spring eternal and through the collective of MUUG I am now a more comfortable user of safe email and with you having so much more tech background in the area now under discussion, as can be seen from my request, did not want to leave a reasonable stone unturned. But many thanks for turning this stone for me without me having to repeat history. Many thanks and this in such a timely way! Truly Happy New Year to one and all as we do individually and collectively what reasonably can be done, including so to say chewing our own food. Thanks!

Electronic filling in Manitoba Public Insurance Forms: Billing Travel etc medical expenses
by eh＠eduardhiebert.com 21 Jan '22

With all that knowledge among members, if readily and easily possible without a significant learning curve, can anyone direct me to a program or how to, to easily transfer data I already have in a text file to the attached forms? MPI has refused my multi pages of billings unless literally on their forms as attached. I plan on doing it tomorrow and will start the manual method as my last resort by noon. Thanks, Eduard

Hey folks, I have a decent pile of 1,2,3 and a smaller set of 4TB & 6TB 3.5" SATA drives that could use some new homes next week. $10/TB, message me _off_list_. Also have some smaller SAS/2.5", and some 24" monitors left (open to non-insulting offers). -- Sean

Need help accessing meeting tonit Re: [Muug] Reminder: MUUG Online Meeting, Tonight, Jan 11, 7:30pm -

Hi I need some help to access the forum. I like the idea that this will not be a zOOm/gOOgle prying eyes event, however in the past I could log on, etc but apparantly not be seen wanting to ask a question. Nor was the mike option responded to as if mute at the receiving end even though turned on. Would someone be willing to do some hand-holding, maybe via phone or if necessary with access to my screen to resolve whatever the bugaboo might me? Please email me so we can exchange further particulars.

55" monitor and multiple laptops
by Adam Thompson 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

So there's the 55" TV I'm using as a monitor, and the cookie cooling racks I found at Lee Valley that are wide enough to accommodate my laptops *with* dock without having to take over the whole desk. Two notable downsides: HDMI power management doesn't work the same way with a TV as with a monitor, so I have to keep the remote handy to turn it back on every time I sit down... And the power button for the lower laptop is in the far back-right corner :-(. Thankfully I don't need it often! -Adam

A reminder that the MUUG online meeting will be on BBB this evening... The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting online, on Tuesday, December 14th, at 7:30pm: Jellyfin, Extended Round-Table and Show-and-Tell MUUG has a tradition of making the December meeting more of an informal, social gathering. Because we're still meeting online, we've had to let go of some of the traditional aspects of this year-end meeting (like sharing food), but we will try to keep some of our socail December tradition alive. Show us your favourite gadget! As part of an extended round-table discussion, we'll try to keep the gadget show-and-tell. (This year, you don't have to haul it to the meeting site, but it will have to be small enough to show on your webcam!) If you have a cool device, something unusual, whether brand new or ready for the museum, there will be an opportunity to show it off. Mini-Presentation: Jellyfin This month, Wyatt Zacharias will demonstrate Jellyfin, a suite of free and open-source multimedia applications designed to organize, manage, and share digital media files to networked devices. Harvest Manitoba We won't be able to collect food and cash donations this year, but please remember that the needs for some may be greater than usual. We encourage you to donate to Harvest Manitoba, or your favourite local charity. This will once again be an online meeting.
