Benchmarks Online Editor
In addition to our feature
articles, Benchmarks Online publishes monthly columns that are
focused on specific aspects of computing here at UNT (and beyond, in
some cases). Check out what is waiting for you this month:
-
RSS
Matters
- "RSS Matters" is the
monthly column written by the Research and Statistical Support
Group in Academic
Computing Services. Their articles focus on topics of a
statistical and/or research methods nature.
This month, Patrick McLeod tells you all about
installing R from source on OS-X in "Part I: From The Source -
R 2.2.0 on OS-X Tiger 10.4.3."
This month, Dr. Baczewski discusses
"Federal Eavesdropping: Coming to an Internet Near You." Read all about it!
-
Link
of the Month -
As it says on the top of the "Link of the Month" page, "each
month we highlight an Internet, USENET Special Interest Group
(SIG), or similar mailing list(s) or Website(s)." Lately we
have been confining ourselves to featuring UNT specific sites.
This month's feature is "GroupWise Tutorials:
New Website Feature"
-
WWW@UNT.EDU -
"WWW@UNT.EDU" is a monthly column written by the Central Web
Support Group in
Academic Computing Services. The topics usually focus, in some
way, on World-Wide-Web-related issues. This
month, Shane Jester talks about the "FrontPage Server
Extension Phase-out Plan." Anyone who develops and/or is
responsible for updating websites at UNT should read this.
-
Short
Courses
-
Every semester, Academic Computing Services (ACS)
offers short courses on computer-related topics, many of them
having to do with statistical research. This column keeps you
up-to-date on what is being offered and when as well as other
training opportunities. The fall
Short Courses are over for the fall. Surf over to the
Short Courses
page for a sample of the sorts of courses that
will be offered this fall (starting, probably, at the end of
January).
Important note for Web Developers: The
article "FrontPage Server Extension
Phase-out Plan" in this issue of Benchmarks Online
sets out a time frame for phasing-out FrontPage extensions.
Because of this, an increased number of DreamWeaver short
courses will be offered this coming spring.
-
IRC
News - As their
Webpage says, "the IRC
is an advisory and oversight body created to foster
communication and cooperation between and among UNT
information resources providers and users." We publish the
minutes of the IRC meetings each month, when they are
available. The October minutes were published this month.
-
Staff
Activities - This column focuses on new
employees, people who are no longer employed at the Computing
and Information Technology Center, awards and recognitions and
other items of interest featured here.
