By Claudia Lynch,
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:
-
By the Numbers - Not
really a column, but a new
feature, giving you a glimpse behind the scenes of the volumes
of data, spam, etc. processed, managed, and otherwise handled
here at UNT.
-
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 we have another "golden oldie" column, "Moderators
and Mediators." Check it out!
-
The
Network Connection
- "The Network Connection" may well be the longest running
column in computer publishing history. Certainly in University
of North Texas computer
publishing history.
This month, Dr. Baczewski questions
Google's motives. Click on
the Network Connection link above to read "Do
no Apparent Evil."
-
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.
A new Spam filtering system was installed last month.
Click on the link above and check out "IronPort Spam
Quarantine Help."
-
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.
Short Courses are over for the semester, but if you
have a group that needs a specific class, it may be possible
to arrange a special class just for them . Click on the Short Courses link above for more information.
-
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 minutes
for November 20, 2007 are available 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.
