Whee. New paper. A somewhat critical look at my FAIMS mobile app via an experiment in ceramic recording.

Shameless #selfpromotion. I've got a #youtube channel. I'm an academic and I play games and sometimes philosophy comes up when I'm playing. https://www.youtube.com/user/denubisx. My current game is Hero-U by Cori and Lori Cole, of Sierra's Quest for Glory

So a colleague of mine (Jens Klump at CSIRO) presented our award-winning (yay, http://challenge.gov ) design for FAIMS 3 at EGU2018 yesterday. Now I can share our PICO presentation: https://osf.io/mw4dp/ https://www.overleaf.com/read/qqgtqsnftwkj

Happy to announce a preprint for my just-accepted paper: "FAIMS Mobile: Flexible, open-source software for field research" https://osf.io/ahf8q/

#introductions Hi, I'm Dr. Brian. I do Philosophy of Data, build apps for archaeologists (field data collection while offline with a bunch of androids), Data ... manipulation stuff.

On the weekends, I record for my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgK3Tn1N6oMG4r0QUypYcTQ where I do rather long-form and quite philosophical Let's Plays of various games.

I feel very strongly about good coffee, I occasionally cook, and like to think about (and explore the thinking of) most well-phrased topics.

Aaaand yet again reminded why I've got my followers on manual approve. I think it's that feature (and the restricted tooting which is concomitant with it) that most keeps me at this service.

Ok. Just finished writing https://resbazsql.github.io/capstone-novice-spreadsheet-biblio/01-intro/index.html. Can I ask a favour (lots of them this weekend) and ask for people to read it over for obvious places I've missed? I've been writing for the last 5 hours.

Any of you folks on windows have the sqlite3 cli? Can you let me know if ctrl-r works as reverse history search there?

Ok. Block 2. Write up this first joining stuff pulling in work from the webscraping lesson.

Aw yess... Scholar.py https://github.com/ckreibich/scholar.py

Yes. I can work with this. Nice and OSS, deterministic, outputs to csv.

https://harzing.com/resources/publish-or-perish/linux ::eyebrow twtich:: Really?! Oh come *on*

"Login required to access Scopus" I'm *shocked*, *shocked* that this public info db is locked behind an elsevier paywall. Just... shocked.

Orcid doesn't do any public export...

wtf. It offers csv *inside* profile but not outside. Come on you fucking thing...

Ping. Any of you scholars out there *not* maintaining your google scholar profile? If not, can you access it and see if it offers a csv export?

While the repo is cloning, lets see here. Improving the lesson to do more "here's how you dump data into sqlite from csv directly, but here's why you should be cautious". Making sure the bibligraphy is csv utf8. Seeing if there's a way to get it from a scholar website ::handwave:: making sure the drumbeats are clear.

Ok, right. Need to do this in workblocks. Goal for the next hour is to get all of the code for exercises laid out in the sandbox.

Can I ask a favour of folks. I need people to be accountable to tomorrow for doing some software carpentry edits for the spreadsheet to database lesson. Anyone want to volunteer to be person who I can toot at and who will at least glance at what I write?

It's not so much stew as stucco.

Well, I think it is sufficiently viscous.

Ok, well, at least the pork separated from the bones. So I'm just going to call this "Split pea soup with pulled pork" And... um. Now I'm going to hate myself because I forgot to remove the laundry from the washing machine and clearly none of these things are actual root causes of a run-on sentence.

I rather blame me equating "3 cups of bacon" to "entire shoulder of pork". Cause, y'know. they're the same, right?

Argh. I should have had been rewriting the sql lesson today and I just can't focus worth shit. And my pea soup in the slow cooker keeps going sideways. Bleh.
