Technology Alert to be launched

Posted on by

It was in the news.monstersandcritics.com that soon there will be a Technology Alert System will be launched to prevent a repeat of the internet chaos which followed the Taiwan earthquake. I think the problem arise because of the earthquake in Taiwan should not happen again. And this system that they are proposing is a good suggestion. Below is the copy of the news taken from monsterandcritics.com :

Technology-alert system to be launched after earthquake chaos

Hong Kong – An alert system designed to prevent a repeat of the internet chaos which followed the Taiwan earthquake on Boxing Day will be introduced next month, Hong Kong’s telecommunications authority said Tuesday.

The system will require operators to report larger disruptions and stoppages to the Office of Telecommunications Authority (OFTA) within a specified time. The authority would be responsible for informing the public.

But what I don’t know is why there is an operator. Isn’t it automatic that when it sense something wrong it will just do something to prevent it.

New Online Dictionary – Metaglossary

Do you want an online Dictionary which loads very fast and has a nice and good design. I think I got what you want its the a new Online Dictionary called metaglossary.com made by Uri Avissar and Jeffrey Regier, They are now in beta version. I suggest you try the site.It is pretty cool . Below is some excerpts on their about page.

“Meta” means beyond, more comprehensive, or more highly organized, and with respect to other dictionaries and glossaries, MetaGlossary is all these things. MetaGlossary harvests definitions from the entire web, the world’s largest, constantly-updated repository of information. Hence, it surpasses traditional dictionaries, which grow more out of date with each passing day. MetaGlossary is as dynamic as the web, offering the most current information out there on the most contemporary topics.

However, unlike other search engines, MetaGlossary is able to precisely extract the meanings of terms and phrases from the often frustratingly unmanageable mass of information on the web. It provides you with concise, direct explanations for terms and phrases, not just endless links to sift through in search of a comprehensive definition.

What’s more, MetaGlossary organizes these meanings based on topic and usage, so you’ll find the one you’re looking for quickly and easily. Since MetaGlossary spans the expanse of the web, even your most field-specific requests for terms, phrases, acronyms, technical jargon, and slang, will be successfully met.

When I try this site it gives good information for research since it also shows the website where it gets the meaning of the words. Try it and tell me what is the result. It’s a good resource for my kids.

Let me share you some for that I got from my bunch of files. I cannot link to the main source since I don’t have it . All I can say based on the documents I have this is a reprint from PCWorld.

One common type of spreadsheet is a fill-in-the-blanks template. Typically, such a sheet will have a number of input cells, and a number of formula cells. You enter your data in the input cells, and the formula cells kick into action and use those values to display some type of (usually) useful result.
