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, Dr. Rich Herrington gives you "An
Introduction to Robust Measures of Location using R."
Also, information on *FREE* R DVDs.
-
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 states "The
Convergence Beat Goes On." Discussion of the implications
of the latest announcement from Apple Inc. follows. 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 focus is on the "Green Pride
Campaign." Click on the link above and find out
about how you can win an iPod Shuffle.
-
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 Shannon Peevey is back to talk about
"Apache
web farm configuration: Simpler than mod_macro?."
-
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
won't start until February, but there are still other training
opportunities. Check it out!
-
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 December 19, 2006
minutes are included this time.
-
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.
