It's the beginning of another new year, a time when many of us take stock of our progress and resolve to do better. Each year, I enjoy clearing out the old clutter and starting anew, making a list of fresh ideas to try out. There's always that optimistic feeling that this year will be much better than the last.
You probably have your own list of goals you'd like to accomplish in order to increase your network's availability and functionality. We're here to help you accomplish those goals. Maybe you'll be making long-awaited hardware upgrades or investing in some cool new technology, now that the market shows signs of turning around.
E-mail us at mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and let us know what's on your to-do list for 2004. We'll be sure to provide you with the information you need to embark upon whatever project you choose.
Happy New Year!

| Tip of the Week: |
Actually, it is spelled RIJNDAEL but is pronounced "rain doll." Many may recognize it as the successor to DES encryption. Designed by the Flemish team of Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen. It won the designation of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) from NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) a few years ago and is fast winning a reputation as suitably secure and rather zippy while not CPU intensive.
If you're anxious to play with it but either haven't got the requisite mainframe hardware yet or just want something other than a C/C++/Java implementation then read this tip. Wouldja believe AES in REXX? In assembler? In RPG? |
