Re: [FRIAM] Mendeley

I'm a fan of Mendeley.  For me it solves a few problems that the other reference tools I've used don't do as well.  First it reads through PDF files on my hard drive and does its best to identify the article.  Given that I've got something on the order of 25,000 PDFs (yes, I do collect too mu

For those interested in Verizon Wireless: “In mid-October, Verizon Wireless changed its privacy policy to allow the company to record customers' location data and Web browsing history, combine it with other personal information like age and gender, aggregate it with millions of other customers' d

Re: [FRIAM] Google+

I like G+ OK, seems less gaudy than FB, like the Circles idea. When you mention "an app to those of us who manage our own domains", does that mean Google Apps? I manage my own domain, but am told I can't just point my MX record to Gmail, I have to have a special Google account. (Currently I just

[FRIAM] Google+

Google finally got around to making google+ available as an app to those of us who manage our own domains, but who use google mail servers for them. Google+ may be dead or dying by now, as many trial users have migrated back to facebook. Still, I thought I'd give it a whirl, as a couple of you ha

Big question - does it do BibTeX? BTW - I often use Google Scholar to populate my BibTeX database. Cheers On Tue, Nov 01, 2011 at 10:55:26AM -0700, Russ Abbott wrote: > I just posted this to my Google+ stream. > > I don't want to be a shill for a private service (but I guess I'm going to > be a

Re: [FRIAM] Syncing between devices...why? [was Android Choice]

I think it derives from extended physiology. There is a spectrum on which we all fall between internal <-> external. Those of us whose lives are invested externally have/make lots of stuff. Those of us invested internally have/make a minimum of stuff. Interesting orthogonal axes are make vs

Errr yes, that is a *really* good question. Why *do* you have so many devices? Why do any of us? Do they make us happier? —R On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 12:05 PM, ERIC P. CHARLES wrote: > To deviate a touch, and head a bit back towards a past thread... how many > of us are there left who use th

Re: [FRIAM] Syncing between devices...why? [was Android Choice]

Not only do I have different uses for different devices, like you I also have different uses for multiple instances of the same device, and multiple uses for the same instance of a device! My current experiment consists of 3 Google+ identities: 1) work, 2) personal, 3) brewing. Google's stupid "

[FRIAM] Syncing between devices...why? [was Android Choice]

To deviate a touch, and head a bit back towards a past thread... how many of us are there left who use their different devices for different purposes? I like that my computer at work has totally different bookmarks than my laptop, which has totally different bookmarks than my cell phone... because

[FRIAM] Mendeley

I just posted this to my Google+ stream. I don't want to be a shill for a private service (but I guess I'm going to be anyway), but this system [Mendeley ] seems quite impressive. It parses PDFs (and other documents) you drop into it and builds a bibliography for you. It

Re: [FRIAM] [SUSPICIOUS EMAIL] Re: Android Choice

In that case, one more word in praise of the Google ecosystem, which people don't tend to think of as such. Until iOS 5, iPhones were largely ancillaries to your desktop -- you needed to cable up regularly to synch with iTunes to do stuff. For better or for worse, Google is pushing deep into the

Re: [FRIAM] [SUSPICIOUS EMAIL] Re: Android Choice

Brilliant! Just what I needed, thanks! If I'm wedded to anything in the apple world, its unix and programming and command line. iTunes is just a fairly reasonable interface to manage phone/pad/pod. I don't need it for music/video/books etc, there are fine alternatives. Quite willing to give it

Re: [FRIAM] [SUSPICIOUS EMAIL] Re: Android Choice

Hi Owen, Glad to help. Short answer: Buy an iPhone. Longer answer: When people ask me what phone to buy, I ask one simple question: Are you married to iTunes? Do you have a playlist for every mood? Have you spent years getting it to work just right? If so, buy an iPhone. You will be massively
