Safely Share Your Wireless Access
Small Business Computing (01/28/08) ; Weiss, Aaron

Sharing wireless access is more common today than it was 10 years ago, but there are fundamental practices that still must be observed. Those that wish to share their Internet connection should be familiar with the configuration of their local area network (LAN) and assess their setup. Regardless of whether a person has a broadband modem, or a broadband modem paired with a wired router, they will need any one of the 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11n wireless routers. Some users will need to add a second or third wireless router because of poor signal. To ensure that an Internet connection is limited to the intended party, users should change the password of their wireless router and select a form of encryption.

Make Email Communications More Efficient
Processor (01/25/08) Vol. 30 , No. 4 , P. 10 ; Gain, Bruce

Businesses can eliminate waste and improve work productivity and efficiency by establishing clear guidelines for email. The first step to promoting responsible in-house practices is to make sure employees recognize that their electronic exchanges are not private. "The best advice for email is this: Don't send in an email what you wouldn't want printed on the front page of a national newspaper. Email is a legal document," says VirtualTeam Consulting founder Susan Snedaker. She adds that electronic correspondence can also be subpoenaed and "entered as evidence in a court of law", so employees would do best to be discreet. "If you would be embarrassed by it being printed in the newspaper, don't send it via email," Snedaker says. Users can boost email's efficiency with succinct subject lines that explain what the message is about, and in some cases, knowing when to call a party directly to discuss a matter.

XBRL -- To Learn or Not to Learn
Accounting Software 411 (01/08) ; Oppenheim, Richard

Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL)--which is being installed as a leading reporting tool by the financial sector--brings with it an expanding number of guidelines and rules. When gathering the required information concerning implementing XBRL, it is important for companies to learn the language's terms; the purpose and operation of XBRL-instance documents; to study information that produces XBRL-based financial reports; and to employ taxonomies in the financial-reporting procedure. Next, workers who will be immediately involved in the establishment and managing of XBRL reporting should find out about the basic programming coding or XML and HTML; how XBRL grew out of MBRL programming; and XBRL as an inside and outside audit tool. Forming the direct connections among digital information and financial reporting and statements is crucial. To that end, an environment must be established so that all participants comprehend the XBRL taxonomies that will be utilized; a set of protocols for the establishment, development, and installation of XBRL taxonomies must be created; support instructional materials and processes must be established; and practice on sample information must occur. Lastly, staff and clients who are already well-versed in XBRL might want to learn about the programming abilities mandated of XBRL, including XBRL Tools, Instance Creation tactics, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and support tools used for taxonomies.
