Re: Parental control app for iOS

[gary dorn]

Hi Peter
A tough one these days

We use 
"regardless", 
"nevertheless" 
and 
"you've already said that"

As our default app.

Probably not very helpful to what your asking - but very effective non the less 
when used often and consistently as a response to children's arguing or oral 
provocations.

See pg 63 "parent in control" by g Bodenhamer

Parental control app for iOS

[Peter Crisp]

Good morning, I have the kids with varying to nil degree of compliance with 
verbal requests to limit screen use and also what type of communications are 
appropriate. I'm after an app that allows scheduling of total screen time, 
ability to limit specific app access time, bed time limits etc. I've got the 
Ourpact app installed and it allows remote and immediate manual freezing of iOS 
devices (good for instant response at times of belligerence) but as I'm using 
the free version, the more sophisticated features are pay extras.

A colleague suggested Family Zone but this provides a replacement modem to 
regulate traffic within the house but with a Time Capsule for backups that 
won't work for me.

It would be good too to have some control over MBP activity but not critical.

Does anyone have suggestions of an app that does this with easy user inputs?  I 
could go for the Ourpact Premium at $10/month but it's not got MBP coverage.

Regards

Pete

Thanks Tony.

Distance certainly makes it a tad difficult. A lot of our members are from the 
far flung parts of the State and I’m sure a lot would help out if they could.

Hopefully, you can get to a meeting or two during the year and we’ll look 
forward to seeing you there if you can.

Regards,

Pete Smith

WAMUG AGM & Monthly Meeting, Tuesday 3 April 2018

[WAMUG Annoucement]

G’day all WAMUGERS.

The WAMUG Annual General meeting is to be held tomorrow before the monthly 
meeting. As previously notified, all the positions on the committee will become 
vacant as they do every year and nominations were called for committee members. 
Alas, there were no nominations received from the List other than from the 
present committee members who are prepared to stand again. They are:

President - Maureen Smith.
Treasurer - Peter Botman.
Vice-President - no nomination.
Secretary - no nomination.
General committee members - Bernard Barnwell, Peter Hinchliffe, Daniel Kerr, 
Peter Smith.

It was planned to send out an email on Sunday night to current financial 
members with a link to a voting form to enable postal votes to be made. 
However, as the number of nominations do not meet the required number of 
committee members and, more importantly, there is only one nomination for each 
of the President and Treasurer positions, all people who have nominated will be 
elected unopposed at the AGM. No voting required, hence that is why you did not 
receive an email.

The President’s and Treasurer’s reports will be presented but there are no 
other planned items on the agenda. There will, however, be a general business 
period for any last minute items that someone may want to raise.

The AGM will be followed by the monthly meeting. This month we will be looking 
at the function of the ruler in word processing documents and understanding how 
it actually works e.g. margins etc. The ruler is applicable to both Pages and 
Word.

So grab your Macs, iPads and iPhones and come along. There’s plenty of helpful 
conversations and tea, coffee and biscuits of course.

(Details are subject to change without notice)

Location: The Professional Prowest Real Estate building, 175 High Road, 
Willeton.
Time:   7.30pm - 9.30pm
