Dotcoms: Blood Bath or Reality Check?
By Alain Lefebvre, vice president of Groupe SQLI
- The prevailing feeling in the U.S. regarding dotcoms has come full circle: a year ago, start-ups were re-inventing the economy, wooing investors and attracting piles of money. Today, skepticism reigns and bankruptcies are multiplying at a fast clip. What has changed over the past year?

Tutorial: Using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
O'Reilly Chapter Excerpt from Windows NT TCP/IP Network Administration
By Craig Hunt & Robert Bruce Thompson
-
The Microsoft Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Server is a Windows NT Service that automatically assigns IP
addresses to clients running DHCP client software. By using
DHCP, you can centralize the management of IP addresses,
netmasks and other IP configuration information, greatly
reducing the amount of administration needed to maintain a
network running TCP/IP transport.

_P.G. Daly's Intranet Talk
"What is the Technical IQ of your Company? The life of your Intranet Could Depend on it." _
-
No matter how flashy the design, advanced the technology, or just plain cool your intranet is, the question still remains: are people using it? Although all companies have users on both ends of the PC savvy scale, overall, how would you rate your company's Technology IQ?

How Can the Intranet Make its Rightful Contribution to Productivity?...XML
By Barry
Schaeffer of X.Systems, Inc.
-
Barry Schaeffer sets forth a "three tier" XML strategy that envisions proprietary applications on both sides of a transaction with XML as the neutral interchange vehicle. Most development and support will take place in the proprietary portions of the architecture with XML as a bridge that should make the interchange of information more or less transparent. While it will be sometime before this level of flow is seen in the broader, Internet world, the more controlled nature of the corporate intranet contains the elements necessary for an environment in which everything is available to everyone under the best possible circumstances.

David Weinberger's Intranet Buzz
Companies Should Let Employee Communication Move at a Natural Internet Pace
-
The Net is throwing us not only into new conversations but into new ways of conversing. This makes life confusing squared: we're exposed not only to topics we would never have imagined -- some of which actually turn out to be worth our while -- but to new rhythms and expectations of conversation itself.

"XSLT, THE XML BABELFISH: De-Balkanizing the most important standard on the Web "
-
XML is the most fabulous standard since the Universal Flavor System expanded Pantone's trademark empire from all the
known colors to most of the major flavors including licorice, chicken, and the aftertaste of spoiled pistachios. But there's
just one small problem: XML is a standard for writing standards and if those
standards don't agree, then we've balkanized data rather than united it.

Excerpts: "Making Great GIFs" From: Photoshop for the Web, 2nd Edition
By Mikkel Aaland
-
What's more important--a site that loads fast or a site that looks great? If you simply convert your art to a GIF or JPEG file, accept the default settings, and save the file, chances are you'll wind up with graphics that are neither good enough nor small enough. In this chapter, we'll deal with converting existing images to GIF.

P.G. Daly's Intranet Talk: "Authoring Tool Standards Critical? Or Form Over Function?"
-
What about new authors or PC savvy folks in an MIS Department that want to publish content? Should they be forced into the "old" standards or allowed to branch out and try a new approach?
-
David Weinberger's Intranet Buzz:
"ClearType and the visual display of
knowledge"
-
Even your swell new 21" flat-screen beauty is
totally inadequate for its main job: displaying text. Small type is
unreadable and large type has all the clarity of a newspaper read
through a screen door. If computer displays were capable of
displaying readable text not only would your time on line be
more pleasant, but you might actually consider reading long
documents on your computer.

By Dennis P. Geller, Ph.D. and Bradley
L. Hecht of TechnologyEvaluation.Com
-
Electronic procurement is one of the major business-to-business growth markets on the Internet. As opposed to previous generations of procurement, which have of course been "electronic" for many years, E-procurement refers specifically to procurement that is based, at least in part, on the use of internet or intranet technology.
