Review Copy Reminders

Submitted by Irene Kraus on Sat, 04/14/2012 - 4:30pm

A quick reminder for all of our CEBUG members in that O'Reilly is now publishing a monthly newsletter about Microsoft Press books in addition to their own regular newsletter. These are posted in our Mailbag section with the view settings for member-only (not visible to the general public or nonmembers), with e-mail notices going out as each is published. One major difference between the two, for those who have not looked, is the list of books appearing near the top along with the request for reviewers.

Taking time to prepare your content prior to its actual posting on a site cannot be understated. This is certainly true when it comes to posting content here on CEBUG. Here are some tips that should help anyone on their way to publishing content on the web. Word processing programs were developed, after all, to cater to the needs of a writer. Automated Spelling and Grammar checking tools help reduce embarrassing mistakes later on. Other tools help ensure the suitability of your post in accordance with whatever Posting Guidelines may have been set.

Are you going to be able to access the Internet come March 8th?

Submitted by MBorsick on Sun, 02/26/2012 - 11:37pm

Most people I know are not avid readers of what goes on in the computer world and certainly even less bother to follow the computer security press and the various reports of new malware that arrive every day now. Following computer security issues as we do, it should come as no surprise that a new Trojan is becoming passé’ to the point where we have to continually remind ourselves that vigilance is vital to protecting computers, the networks they are on, and what is stored on the devices on the Internet.

Symantec Users Get Busy!

Submitted by MBorsick on Thu, 02/09/2012 - 1:52am

After a hiatus for a while because of health problems, I thought to start the New Year by getting back to keeping everyone up to date on happenings in the computer world. Today, I wanted to bring everyone up to date on things Symantec.

I do want to be upfront though. I am NOT a fan of Symantec Corporation and its products. In the beginning, the company was a very good company which did a lot of things right and well at the same time. It cared about its customers, engaged with them directly and often, and was quick to address problems with their products.
