Follow-up to saving technical journals.....

In the last couple of days since my last post on the topic, I found out that ACM, IEEE, and the IEEE Computer Society all have digital libraries online.....for members only or for a monthly or annual fee. I believe their libraries contain all their back issues. I'm sure of this for ACM; I'm not so sure for IEEE. (Links included mostly for my reference.)

Communications of the ACM
IEEE Spectrum
IEEE-CS Computer

Another reason for me to ditch the paper versions of the magazines, which mostly consist of technical research papers. Most of these papers won't be read, used, or needed by me.

Has it strictly been my experience that employers don't support employees' activity in professional organizations? In all the companies I've worked for, they've been neutral to indifferent about my membership in such organizations. That's another reason why I let my memberships lapse.

Snow!

We got our first snow of the season here in Dayton. It's just a dusting, but it's probably enough to cause havoc on the roads during the morning rush hour.

And I left my boots in the car.
