Notes on Episode 2 - Church IT Discussions
Posted by Andrew Mitry under Web/Tech
Last Friday, Jason Powell hosted Episode 2 of Church IT Discussions (you can download or listen to the discussion online) on TalkShoe. Here are a few notes on what we discussed (please feel free to add or correct).
First, you may need the lastest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for the Talkshoe Live Client, although their FAQ sates that the JRE is distributed and packaged with the PC Version of the TalkShoe Live Client. The JRE for Macs can be downloaded from the Apple website.
Pre-call highlights:
North Point Community Church has a cool AV mini server room setup
Seem like no one is connected to the discussion via Skype this week.

Pingback from Katharion 30 Day Trial » anchorite.org
December 27th, 2006 at 5:47 pm[...] After the last IT Discussion IT Discussion call, we decided to move forward on a hosted anti-spam service for our email. Today, we started a 30 day trial with Katharion. I know that Chris257 (sorry Chris, not sure of your full name) mentioned they were using them on the call and Travis Kensil blogged that they were switching as well. Â We are debating between Katharion, SpamStopsHere and Postini. I know that Jason gives rave reviews to Postini, but they are pricier and make smaller shops jump through hoops with a reseller. I emailed SpamStopsHere about non-profit pricing but I have not received a reply. Katharion gives 25% off their normal pricing for non-profits. Network Computing has a review that mentions all three here, but grades only available on SpamStopsHere B and Katharion B- (apparently Postini’s transport heuristics wouldn’t work with their tests).
