Computer preparedness

Many of you have seen on Facebook recently that I acquired a new Windows 8 laptop, as well as a laser printer for use with it, and I said I’d divulge the reasons for the acquisitions here. That time has come. πŸ™‚

I was at Westgate Lanes today getting my new gear set up for use there. I’ve said here that I’d be providing scoring services for the Junior Professionals Tournament in November, and the new equipment will be used for that, but there’s more. After brackets weren’t run in the Coke league the last night of their season, I made an offer to Eric Durden, the person who’s been running the brackets in that league, to fill in for him this season on nights that he can’t make it, and I bought my stuff to do just that.

I needed software to do brackets on as well as hardware, and the bracket manager I chose was Braxion. CDE had TBrac for this purpose, and the two applications were about the same price, but I was assured by the folks at Braxion that I could print out scoresheets after the brackets have been generated, so I chose that one. I’ll put up a link to their website in the sidebar, in the general “Bowling Links” category.

    1. You’re welcome, Ron, and thank you in return. If you’ve followed my archives, you’ll note that I did notice that Dick Roche’s Thursday bowling column in the Enterprise had been discontinued, so it was then that I knew I was in this for the long haul. I’m only happy to tell the outside world that we (or at least some of us) are having fun here at Westgate Lanes. πŸ™‚
