John Lamp's IS Pages ::
In Australia you need to know which code you are and which code the journals are. if you try to submit to one in the wrong field you endanger your whole unit's funding. This academic has made a nice interface to them all, although as it was not a publication in his journals, that time was putting his funding at risk by not going into publication quotas.

Titus Brown: The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
"As Narayan has eloquently argued many times, it no longer makes sense for most institutions to run their own HPC, if you take into account the true costs of power, AC, and hardware. The only reason it looks like HPCs work well is because of the way institutions play games with funny money (a.k.a. "overhead charges"), channeling it to HPC behind the scenes - often with much politicking involved. If, as a scientist, your compute is "free" or even heavily subsidized, you tend not to think much about it. But now that we have to scale those clusters 10s or 100s or 1000s of X, to deal with data 100s or 1e6s of times as big, institutions will no longer be able to afford to build their own clusters with funny money. And they'll have to charge scientists for the true computational cost of their work -- or scientists will have to use the cloud."

Notional Slurry » What is your academic paper for?
"This convention of unreadable, distant, self-effacing, four-page, two-column, Times Roman fact is not a bow to “reality”, you know. Reality doesn’t give a damn what you say about it, or how many words or pages you use.

It is, rather, the very mechanism by which your career makes you its prey. The sound of droning-but-succinct academic “prose” is the sound of your soul’s bones being chewed by your Institution."

Samuel Bowles
"Humans are remarkably cooperative animals. We frequently engage in joint projects for the common benefit on a scale extending beyond the family to include total strangers. We do this even when contributions to the project are costly and yield little private benefit. Examples are upholding social norms even when a transgression would not be noticed, warfare, and actions to preserve the natural environment."

New Challenges
"What I’d most like to do next is spend a year working full-time on the Software Carpentry course—of all the things I’ve done, it’s the one that I think has the most potential to make scientists’ lives better. My goal is to raise approximately CDN$25,000 from each of half a dozen sponsors so that I can reorganize and revamp the content, add screencasts and video lectures, and generally drag it into the 21st Century. An abbreviated proposal is included below the cut—if you or anyone you know would be interested in discussing possibilities, please give me a shout."

cb2Bib: Overview
"The cb2Bib is a free, open source, and multiplatform application for rapidly extracting unformatted, or unstandardized bibliographic references from email alerts, journal Web pages, and PDF files.
The cb2Bib facilitates the capture of single references from unformatted and non standard sources. Output references are written in BibTeX. Article files can be easily linked and renamed by dragging them onto the cb2Bib window. Additionally, it permits editing and browsing BibTeX files, citing references, searching references and the full contents of the referenced documents, inserting bibliographic metadata to documents, and writing short notes that interrelate several references."

" the most important function of the system, both for purposes of its continued survival and for purposes of controlling the market for its products, is the production of the producers. The academic disciplines effectively monopolize (or attempt to monopolize) the production of knowledge in their fields, and they monopolize the production of knowledge producers as well. "
