<p class=MsoNormal>This was posted just the other day on the main DegreeWorks
listserv from Derrek at UC-Irvine. He has started a blog about
DegreeWorks, and especially about 4.0. 1. Thought it might interest some of you:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>There was a time late last year when I was getting a lot
of emails from new clients, perspective clients and current clients about our
DW install.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I found myself repeating many emails that were very
informative.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>SO, I decided to create this blog journalizing our
testing and installs of DW at UCI. Why a blog? Easier to document and a great
reference for new clients not on the list serve.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Please take a look. I cover these topics:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>DW4.0.1 - Install and Testing<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Hardware - What to buy<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Sun vs Red Hat - Comparison<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>This blog is based on my opinions and experiences. Please
refer to it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Nancy, master scriber, posted an item on it. I'm hoping
she does more posting for scribers. I'm open for other sites to post entries to
share stuff too.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Enjoy.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>So, for those not on the listserv, you might want to check
it out. If you already have a Google blogger identity, you can post comments
or questions. Or you can sign up for one. Who knows, we may learn
some helpful tips from this blog to supplement the knowledge we gain from
technical manuals, customer support, listserv, etc. The most recent entry
about wildcards was very interesting. I don’t know if we will apply
it our settings at some point, but it’s always good to learn about other people’s
experiences with the software.<o:p></o:p></p>
