Don’t Wait Too Long - Blog entry by lkessler - 22 Mar 2014
I’ve saved all my important emails since 2002. This is my 2nd or 3rd computer upgrade since then. The other times, I was able to transfer my email easily into the mail program on my new computer. But I ran into a slight glitch this time. My old computer was Windows Vista and my email program was Windows ...

Setting up a Solid State Drive with Windows 8.1 - Blog entry by lkessler - 17 Mar 2014
Ready for an adventure? Anything that should be easy usually isn’t, especially when it comes to computers and hardware. A new computer is expected to result in a boost to productivity … but only after the dust settles. Why is there always so much dust? The first step is setting up the hardware. I thought it ...

Re-evaluating the Future of Genealogy Software - Blog comment by lkessler - 16 Mar 2014
Taco,
Thank you for your detailed reply. Let me try in return.
1. If a hundred family historians came to one incorrect conclusion, it's probably because 99 of them copied it from the first.
2. I'd say less than 1% of genealogists want to "publish" as in journal type of publishing. I think the ...

When Is It Time To Get A New Desktop Computer? - Blog entry by lkessler - 15 Mar 2014
11. When you’ve still got Windows Vista. 10. When your monitors are so old that one flashes for 30 seconds when it starts up and the other’s color doesn’t match. Yes, you could simply get new monitors if this is your only problem. 9. You can’t connect to your home network because every time you try to ...

Re-evaluating the Future of Genealogy Software - Blog entry by lkessler - 12 Mar 2014
I have been busy the past couple of years. Busy trying to assemble my thoughts about the genealogy software of today and the software for tomorrow. I’ve had my eyes open and I’ve been listening intently. The winds are changing somewhat and course corrections for all developers are required if they want to ...

Will,
In a weird sort of way, it makes me happy to know that you and some other users are that interested in Behold and want to see updates.
If you've followed my blog you'll know I've been working on life events, which will be something new among genealogy software that I hope others wiil agree will really be ...

Going Paperless and Laptopless - Blog entry by lkessler - 15 Feb 2014
Last week I used #RootsTech to attempt the start of what may become a radical change to the way I work.
It started with an experiment. I had said in an earlier blog post what items I would be carrying with me. At RootsTech 2012 the list included my digital camera, my cellphone, my laptop, a pen, a binder ...

13 Genealogy Programs from RootsTech - Blog entry by lkessler - 10 Feb 2014
At #RootsTech there were many vendors in the exhibition hall. I’m not sure what the total number of booths was, but it must have been close to 200. I think it took me over 6 hours to thoroughly go through the hall and talk to quite a few of the vendors. I’m always interested in any new genealogy software ...

My Analysis of RootsTech 2014 - Blog entry by lkessler - 9 Feb 2014
Four whirlwind days at #RootsTech. Overall it was what I hoped for and what I expected based on my experiences from 2012. The larger half of the Salt Palace Convention Center gave us enough space to mill around. The exhibition hall was almost too large with so many vendors, it was almost impossible to do them ...
