From ucfnmad@ucl.ac.uk Mon Jan 19 18:40:19 1998 Date: Mon, 19 Jan 1998 17:47:45 +0000 (GMT) From: martin dodge To: m.dodge@ucl.ac.uk Subject: The Geography of Cyberspace Update Bulletin No. 9 -19th January 1998 The Geography of Cyberspace Update Bulletin No. 9 - 19th January 1998 ======================================================================= Welcome to the ninth Geography of Cyberspace Update Bulletin. This is a regular, free, email bulletin to inform you of changes and new additions made to The Geography of Cyberspace and the Atlas of Cyberspaces web sites. The bulletin will distributed about once a month, depending on how much time I have available for my cyberspace exploration. The main news is that I have recently registered an Internet domain - cybergeography.org - and my web pages (the Geography of Cyberspace and Atlas of Cyberspaces) will now be mirrored on a new web site. This is called Cyber-Geography Research and is at www.cybergeography.org. A draft home page is available. Any comments you have on the name and the new home page are welcome. Why the new Cyber-Geography Research web site? 1. I have been concerned with the recent reliability of the UCL Geography web server and I wanted an independent mirror of my web pages. 2. It is likely that towards the end of this year I will looking for a new job and consequently I wanted a web site not dependent on my place of employment. 3. I wanted a go at registering a domain name. 4. To provide a short, more memorable web address. Please note that the Geography of Cyberspace and Atlas of Cyberspaces pages will still be available at their current addresses on the geography department's web server at University College London so you will NOT have to update bookmarks / hyperlinks. So hopefully this will not cause any undue inconvenience. Also this bulletin is being renamed to the Cyber-Geography Research Update Bulletin.
