Held Friday afternoons in Turing Auditorium, Tech Briefings are informal, interactive seminars on computer-related topics of interest to the Stanford community. These sessions are intended for power users, Expert Partners, and those with IT responsibilities, but are open to everyone - faculty, staff, and students. The Tech Briefings, led by knowledgeable IT Services staff or other IT professionals, run from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. No registration is required - just come on by and learn something new. No fees. No fuss. http://techbriefing.stanford.edu/ April 3: Stanford Whole Disk Encryption - Shirley Hodges, IT Services http://techbriefing.stanford.edu/index.html#tb1 NO TECH BRIEFING - Good Friday http://techbriefing.stanford.edu/index.html#tb2 Mathematica: A Technical Overview - Paul Wellin, Wolfram Research http://techbriefing.stanford.edu/index.html#tb3 Advanced Programming Techniques in MATLAB - Loren Shure, The MathWorks http://techbriefing.stanford.edu/index.html#tb4 Command-Line NetDB - Drew Saunders, IT Services http://techbriefing.stanford.edu/index.html#tb5 Working in Second Life - Glenn Fisher, Director of Business Programs, Linden Lab http://techbriefing.stanford.edu/index.html#tb6 Load Balancing - Ray Cooper, IT Services http://techbriefing.stanford.edu/index.html#tb7 *NEW* Lenovo at Stanford http://techbriefing.stanford.edu/index.html#tb8 What's New and Different in Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium: Creativity Unleased - Rick Miller, Adobe http://techbriefing.stanford.edu/index.html#tb9 Workstation Backup and Recovery - Dan Stillmaker, IT Services http://techbriefing.stanford.edu/index.html#tb10 NO TECH BRIEFING - Graduation http://techbriefing.stanford.edu/index.html#tb11 Social Networking at Stanford - Mark Branom and Dave Ream, IT Services http://techbriefing.stanford.edu/index.html#tb12 Stanford Email and Calendar - Ammy Hill, IT Services http://techbriefing.stanford.edu/index.html#tb12
