The all important web site which lists the current DAT version for VirusScan. I’m surprised that the software I installed yesterday was DAT = 4246 when the current DAT is 4277? I’ll have to watch the update process for a couple of weeks to get comfortable with the settings.

“BUSINESS/TECHNOLOGY DISCONNECT ON DATA DISASTER

U.S. business executives may be a bit overly optimistic in their estimates of the impact a major data disaster would have on their operations. A survey sponsored by data storage firm EMC indicates that only 14% of senior business executives regard their company’s data as very vulnerable, compared to 52% of senior IT executives. And only 9% of business execs said it would take three days or more to get back to normal following a data disaster, compared with 23% of tech executives. ‘Our customers tell us that their greatest challenge isn’t backing up their information — it’s recovering and resuming operations in a timely manner. We don’t believe U.S. business leaders are being misled by their IT teams. Instead, it is likely a misperception that, if the data is backed up, there is no issue,’ says an executive VP for EMC. Meanwhile, European executives were more in synch with their IT counterparts regarding the likely vulnerability of their data — 40% of business executives and 44% of technology executives regarded their data as very vulnerable.

Writing comes more easily if you have something to say.

Sholem Asch

I am personally convinced that one person can be a change

catalyst, a ‘transformer’ in any situation, any organization.

Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It

requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence,

courage and faith to be a transforming leader.

Steven R. Covey

i thank You God for most this amazing day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes

Not everything that can be counted counts; and not everything that

counts can be counted.

Yes - I remember losing my Waterman roller ball that I bought in NYC on Lexington Ave. Lost it somewhere on the ASU campus - maybe at a quiet table in the architecture library on a summer day.

“WORTH THINKING ABOUT: PEN BEREAVEMENT

Have you ever loved a fountain pen? Where did you lose it? Writer and editor Anne Fadiman recalls the attachment many people have felt for their favorite pens:

‘Pen-bereavement is a serious matter. Ten years ago, my pen disappeared into thin air. Like a jealous lover, I never took it out of the house, so I have always believed that in rebellion against its purdah it rolled into a hidden crack in my desk. A thousand times have I been tempted to tear the desk apart; a thousand times have I resisted, fearing that the pen would not be there after all and that I would have to admit that it was gone forever. For a time I haunted shops that sold secondhand pens, pathetically clutching an old writing sample and saying, ‘This is the width of the line I want.’ I might as well have carried a photograph of a dead lover and said, ‘Find me another just like this.’ Along the way I learned that my pen had been a Parker 51, circa 1945. Eventually I found one that matched mine not only in vintage but in color. But after this parvenu came home with me, it swung wantonly from scratching to sputtering, unable, despite a series of expensive repairs, to find the silken mean its predecessor had so effortless achieved. Alas, it was not the reincarnation of my former love; it was a contemptible doppelganger. Of course, I continued to write, but ever after, the feat of conjuring the first word, the first sentence, the first paragraph, has seemed more like work and less like magic.’
