Don't Forget Our Monthly Columns!

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 an encore presentation of the article "How Long Should My Data Analysis Take?" 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 talks about "A Bit of History." Can you believe it's been 50 years since ARPANET was established? Click on the Network Connection link above to find how UNT fits into Internet history, and more.

  • Link of the Month - As it says on the top of the "Link of the Month" page, "Each month we highlight an online mailing list or website. Frequently the link is associated with UNT." This month we show you how you can follow the UNT One O'clock jazz band's invasion of European festivals. Click on the link above and check it out.

  • Helpdesk FYI - A new monthly feature from the CITC Helpdesk. Each month they will tackle a topic that has been of particular interest to callers/visitors to the Helpdesk. This month  Richard Sanzone discusses "Preferred UNT Email Address." Check it out!

  • 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.

For the first time in our history of offering Short Courses, we were not able to have any this summer. Due to a variety of reasons including the closing of the ISB 203 computer classroom, it became obvious that we weren't going to be able to offer the classes. That said, special classes can still be arranged with the RSS staff. 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. No minutes were available for publication 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 are featured here.
