"Francis Llewellyn Griffith (27 May 1862 – 14 March 1934) was an eminent British Egyptologist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Early life and education F. Ll. Griffith was born in Brighton on 27 May 1862 where his father, Rev. Dr. John Griffith, was Principal of Brighton College. After schooling at Brighton College (1871), then privately by his father, he went to Sedbergh School, Yorkshire (1875–78) and Highgate School (1878–80). At Highgate he developed the interest in ancient Egypt that was to determine the rest of his life. Griffith was awarded a scholarship to Oxford University in 1879 and studied at The Queen's College from 1880 to 1882: in the absence of an Egyptological department he taught himself ancient Egyptian.Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press 204, p. 959 Career Griffith worked as a student for The Egypt Exploration Fund (EEF) (later known as the Egypt Exploration Society), a society established in 1882 by Amelia Edwards and Reginald Stuart Poole. This society funded excavations in Egypt and provided opportunities for student apprentices to learn how to excavate and give aspiring Egyptologists a chance to publish their findings. Griffith was urged by his professor to write to Flinders Petrie, an Egyptologist working for the EEF, to see if he could serve as an assistant. He could not afford to finance himself, and Petrie and Edwards were able to convince the EEF to fund Griffith through a scholarship.Flinders Petrie: A Life in Archaeology, University of Wisconsin Press 1995, p. 85 Griffith trained under Flinders Petrie at the Fund's Naukratis excavation.Report of Third Annual General Meeting & Balance Sheet 1885, [n.p.] [1885], p. 5.

It was in this report that he thanked Petrie, "I cannot conclude without expressing my deep obligations for Mr. Petrie for so freely opening to me the rich stores of method and experience which his unrivaled skill has accumulated."Report of Fourth Annual General Meeting and Balance Sheet. 1885–6 London: Trüber & Co., [1886], 8.

After Petrie left the Egypt Exploration Fund, Griffith continued to work for the society under the direction of Edouard Naville.Report of Fourth Annual General Meeting and Balance Sheet. 1885-6 London: Trüber & Co., [1886], p. 21.

Personal life Griffith married Kate Bradbury (26 August 1854 – 2 March 1902), a good friend of Amelia Edwards, in 1896.Flinders Petrie: A Life in Archaeology, University of Wisconsin Press 1995, pp. 222–223 Kate died six years later and Griffith eventually inherited his father-in-law's estate. This allowed him to endow the study of Egyptology at Oxford. In 1909 he married Nora Christina Cobban Macdonald (1870–1937), who assisted him in his studies and excavations in Egypt and Nubia in 1910–13, 1923, 1929 and 1930, and prepared his unfinished work for publication after his death. Nora was from Aberdeen, and in 2017 the city council approved erection of a blue plaque to honour her as a "noted Egyptologist". After the establishment of a post in Egyptology, Griffith was appointed Reader in 1901. He was Professor of Egyptology at the university from 1924 until 1932 and died in 1934. By the terms of his will the Griffith Institute at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford was established in 1939,The Ashmolean 16, 1989, pp. 5–7. with additional funding from the will of his second wife, Nora. He was buried in Holywell Cemetery in Oxford.R. S.

"Wired for Management (WfM) was a primarily hardware-based system allowing a newly built computer without any software to be manipulated by a master computer that could access the hard disk of the new PC to paste the install program. It could also be used to update software and monitor system status remotely. Intel developed the system in the 1990s; it is now considered obsolete. WfM included the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) and Wake-on-LAN (WOL) standards. WfM has been replaced by the Intelligent Platform Management Interface standard for servers and Intel Active Management Technology for PCs.
