Back to complete feeds
I had been publishing post excerpts in the feeds of this blog. The idea was to provide an incentive to go and read the posts on the website, and eventually have people leaving a comment.
I have decided to get back to complete feeds instead, so you will be able to read the content from your feed agregator again. We'll see what happens.
Do you have any special preference over this? Do you feel offended when people publish summarizes instead of full posts in their feeds?
Safari for Windows
Apple has just released a first beta version of the Safari browser for Windows!
For sure this will generate quite a lot of buzz in the next few weeks... as always when it comes to Apple products
In my quick experiments, the Windows port for sure has some potential, but it is still plagued by rendering problems, hence users should really keep in mind that this is beta software.
On the IzPack Java installer generator pages, the Google ads have problems: ![]()
You can also see many stuff not properly rendered on the Autosport.com website: ![]()
On the academic publication and review model
Life in academia is very focused on the need for publishing scientific papers in workshops, conferences and journals. Surprisingly (or not that much if you happen to be a reader of the excellent PhD Comics), academia is very conservative. The adoption of modern solutions (think blogs, wikis, web, ...) is extremely slow. A lot of habits are still rooted in the past.
I recommend the reading of Publish and perish: why the current publication and review model is killing research and wasting your money which is full of very interesting thoughts on this matter. It provides a very interesting discussion on the current publication and review model and provides improvement directions.
