then i sent an invite to a different email address that i sometimes use when i logged into my other email account i saw the zoho invite which requires me to join zoho with a login id and password i am able to share the same spreadsheet between my two accounts one interesting thing i noticed is that the datetime stamp code above was giving me a different time when logged into my other account it is necessary to go into the account settings and specify the correct time zone in my case gmt 5 new york i notice that an upload to zoho of any excel spreadsheet from my local hard drive is limited to 50 megs which is a size that allow me to create 10 000 address records in my test spreadsheet it may be possible from within zoho to create spreadsheets much larger than 50 meg i know that google documents spreadsheets can not be larger than 1 meg which allows me room for about 2000 address records in my test application i did notice some instability in zoho when i attempted to use copy and paste to increase my spreadsheet from 4000 records to 10 000 records in the sense that some cell formulas in some rows were corrupted hopefully there would be no corruption if the rows were added one at a time in a normal data entry fashion from day to day but i shall only know that if i use zoho daily for some period of months tags macro spreadsheet vba zoho posted in programming zoho leave a

archival electronic records in offsite facilities these facilities may or may not be owned by the government but they should ideally be far enough from the government s primary facility to ensure the accessibility of the records in the event of a regional disaster to be legally compliant local governments must submit a formal letter concerning the storage of their electronic records in a facility that is not owned or maintained by the government to the state archives director of government records services 9a47 cultural education center albany ny 12230 who will review the request to ensure the records will be safe and secure big question does nys grs have an approved secure facility for the storage of student records and if not why not cloud computing virtualization hosting local

experimenting first with wubi installs on top of windows and then with a pure ubuntu install on a 280 gig gateway i took detailed notes at my wordpress blog anyone with those notes should be able to install it in 5 hours or less firefox is amazing on ubuntu there is a multi platform instant message program yahoo aim icq msn etc an email client an irc client konverse which lands you in a kubuntu channel with dozens of specialty rooms and hundreds of people on line around the world the only think it cant do yet which i like is paltalk ubuntu updates are far smoother more automated less in your face less annoying than windows updates i tried out ubuntu because i finally had a spare machine i could afford to ruin i felt if i did succeed in installing ubuntu that it would be very primitive and user unfriendly it is very user friendly with lots of gui interfaces you do not have to be some c wizard or know shell and bash commands you can do all that if you know how but you don t need to to

terminal sudo chown bryan var www step 2 having given myself rights with that above chown command i should be able to create folders withing var www e g var www proj1 and then invoke the 1st pg of the application by typing into the browser localhost proj1 report html i shall test this and place the exercises from head first php mysql into a folder var www proj1 and see if the exercise works the only question that remains in my mind is whether the exercise pages will work unchanges honoring var www proj1 as the root or whether i need to issue some other command to make proj1 the default directory or whether i have to hard code paths into all the exercise pages which if i do would kind of defeat the purpose of developing a project in a folder and then transparently moving it to some
