Incomplete Entries & Computing Bacteria for Friday, July 24, 2009


* Chrysina image licensed under Creative Commons by Charles Lam


You know we often strive to deliver a 'complete' entry of the daily major postings concerning biology, zoology and other life science topics. Today, we had some unique issues with Blogger freezing up, our (public) Dell Optiplex 755 deleting our data and Microsoft Word (the most current version) and DOS dumping our data...all at the same time. We spoke to the IT people who 'run' the computers and servers here at our IP address, but they reported that it is policy for them to delete all documents when rebooting the servers - even when they have been saved. But, we know that is false based on our previous experience.

Warning!: Based on our experience (above) we strongly suggest moving any and all Word Document work to Google Documents as soon as possible if you are working in the same type of environment.

Twitter 4: Pandemics? Global Crises? Global Melts? Wildfires? and More for Thursday, March 19, 2009

Will Twitter be the essential new technology tool to help us predict; Pandemics, Global Melting and flooding, Wildfires/Bushfires, Potential Extinctions, and other Catastrophes? (Too late for the Beddington 2030 Global Crisis Projection, see below...). Is this the "real" usefulness or utility for Twitter? Are these "Twittersentials"?
