Parsing Bibtex Authors: How I Do It
I mentioned (see here for a list of previous bibtex posts) that I was facing a challenge of parsing bibtex authors. One of the problems with the current system that I use is that, although it works pretty well, but it does not handle all cases correctly. To give you an example, if I have: […]
Some of the Challenges in Parsing Bibtex Authors
In previous posts (see here) I have been talking about a system that I have been working on that enables the publications area of my web site to be driven by a bibtex file. It all seems to work pretty well and maintaining my web site is now a lot easier than it used to […]
Family Tree of Scientists
I was just googling around recently and I came across two interesting posts that, if somebody had the time, inclination and necessary skills, could lead to a very interesting family tree. The first article I found was on the OR Complete blog site. There was a post that talked about tracking back articles to see […]
Update: Displaying bibtex on web site
A while ago (see here for my Bibtex posts) I commented that I was working on a system where I could take a bibtex file and display that on my web site. The result can be seen here. The system works pretty well in that my web site (at least this part of it) is […]
Twitter: Identifying Potential Followers
In my previous twitter posts (you can see my series of Twitter posts here) I have discussed various things that I have done (or am thinking of doing) to try and get a twitter service up and running, where I tweet on a certain subject for 24 hours, and then I change to something else. […]
Twitter: Registrations are slow!
Following my last post (or take a look at all my Twtter posts here), my twitter system has been up and running for a few weeks now. Every day I switch domains and start tweeting about something else. The system seems to work well, although I have not had anybody register yet. However, I know […]
Beta Test for Twitter Service
In my last two posts (see here and here – or here for all my Twitter blogs) I outlined a few ideas I had for improving the twitter feeds that I have had running for about a year. The original idea was just to tweet every so often (about ten times a day), with each […]
Improved Automatic Tweeting
In my last post I set out a few ideas about some of the improvements (you can see my complete series of Twitter posts here) I was thinking about making to improve my twitter feed. In essence I was toying with the idea of tweeting on certain subjects for a 24 hour period. Over the […]
Improving/targeting my Twitter Feed
Some of you might subscribe to my twitter feed you’ll see that I tweet journal articles on a regular basis. In fact, at a recent conference, I was taken to task (in a nice way) about how could tweet so often and, more to the point, how I could have tweeted whilst giving a presentation! […]
Tracking Paper Downloads: Database
In my last post I outlined a few thoughts about tracking downloads of papers from the MISTA web site. Of course, the ideas can be used on any web site but I am particularly interested in MISTA at the moment. I have now started to develop the database, which will be a MySQLÂ database which […]
