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.
As Dr. Herrington states in the introduction, "This
month we provide a pre-installed, pre-configured version of R
for the Windows platform in a compressed, self-extracting zip
file." If this sounds good to you, make sure and read "A
Kinder, Gentler R - An Easier to Install Version of R for the
Windows Platform."
This month, Dr. Baczewski talks about
hurricanes and the Internet in "Weathering the
Storm." 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 "InHouse goes
weekly!"
-
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, J.P. Williams tells you all about "EUID
Authentication Using a Web Form."
-
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 Course
schedule is complete and courses are already underway. Courses
remaining are: EViews Seminar, Getting Started with
DreamWeaver, Workshop in R& S-Plus Programming II,
Intermediate SPSS, and New Technologies for Survey
Research.
-
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 September 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.
