Latest revision as of 12:37, 24 May 2016
One of the basic tenets of Makers Local 256 is education.
- People with the knowledge to teach others should make a potential class known.
- People interested in taking any listed classes should make that desire known.
We currently organize classes here.
Ideas on improving classes
- There should be a standard operating procedure for how to advertise a class. Such as: 1. email the general list. 2. call radio stations (list). 3. call newspapers (list).

The Complete Torrent User's Guide to Usenet - PsychoAU
It pains me to see the amount of people who still cling to the idea that BitTorrent is the greatest way to download things. This is far from the truth. This class will show you how to get started with Usenet. Why worry about which company is monitoring your IP? Why wait on that one seeder to actually leave his computer on long enough to get more seeds? Why watch a file get to 98% only for that one seed to disappear? My friends, there is a better way. Learn everything you need to know about Usenet... from NZBs to PAR2s... from Retention to Completion... Max out your internet connection with every download. These things, plus more will be covered in this class. Sign up today! -- PsychoAU
