Very few things make me really happy, but my research center is one of them. Today I found the materials that the center for digital discourse and culture hosts is cited the world book encyclopedia online, previously i had known it was used in the britannica online, but another encyclopedia is always good. It is also found in Introduction to International Relations by Oxford University Press. It has also been used in reports to the U.N. and many other places. too many to list, but still it amazes me how many people use these materials worldwide. so you ask what are we talking about we are talking about around 270gb plus or minus of materials on any given day, but covering such a broad range of material, from theory, to governance, to art, to history, to literature and more, just alot of archived material that seems to be important to people. Have to thank Tim and Len for being the directors, and Deans that have supported it also.

Apple releases Backup 2.0 utility for .Mac: “Apple posted a final version of Backup 2.0, its backup utility for .Mac users. Version 2 lets you select any folder on a hard drive as a backup destination, including FireWire hard drives, network servers, iPods, and other mounted volumes. It also offers support for support for third-party CD and DVD Drives and lets you schedule backups to iDisk and hard drives–with support for incremental backups (i.e., copying changed files only). It requires Mac OS X 10.2.6 or later and requires a full .Mac account.” [The Macintosh News Network] [Universal Rule]
