Changes coming to AGC in 2022!

Posted on March 14, 2022
Filed Under Website | Comments Off on Changes coming to AGC in 2022!

Arkansas Geek Central will be awakened from it’s deep sleep in the near future!

The website will be revamped. WordPress will be replaced with a Static HTML Website that is updated with new posts, with minimal to no JavaScript. Comments will be disabled, at least temporarily.

Facebook integration & links have been removed and the FB Page will be deleted in the next few days.
Twitter is still planned to be used, but, automated posting is removed. This is due to the newer requirements of using the Twitter API/Developer account.
Possible other Distributed/Decentralized Social Media might be added.
The Google Calendar will be moved to a standard iCal/ICS file and generated web calendar.

Hopefully the current situation with Covid19 is winding down. More events are popping up on the Calendar and will be posted here.


Happy Pi Day!

Posted on March 14, 2022
Filed Under Geek Holidays | Comments Off on Happy Pi Day!

Pi Day is an unofficial holiday held to celebrate the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is celebrated on March 14, or in the month/day date format as 3/14; since 3, 1 and 4 are the three most significant digits of π. March 14 is also the birthday of Albert Einstein so the two events are sometimes celebrated together.
