    A bad workman blames his tools... P.S. Polish version of this proverb is much nicer, and says that poor ballet dancer blames her skirt... but it's nothing compared to the Russian version, which says about a male ballet dancer who blames his... well, guess yourselves...

how to use the results our Diigo bookmarks for the benefit of rest of ESA - 11 views

just listening to a company representative - funnily called Michael Jackson - who presents their tool called "shaping tomorrow" who do exactly the same as we do with Diigo but on a commercial basis...

  •  
    for the dropbox users.. in case you e.g. would like to add things behind restrictive firewalls to your dropbox shared drives
  •  
    are they going to see the content of all my dropbox after the authorisation process this requires?
  •  
    I dunno but it would be nice if you could give permission to specific folders ... dunno how the API handles it...

  • The NanoSailD is a solar sail designed to use light particles to accelerate. If all goes well it will be the first solar sail deployed by NASA.
  • It instead uses the sail for the humble but important mission of testing a potential orbit-cleaning tool.

Baby-by-Number: Parents' New Obsession With Data | Wired Science | Wired.com - 0 views

  • Even the folks at LeapFrog caution that electronic toys shouldn’t replace the tried-and-true childhood staples of previous generations. Plain old wooden blocks can be an incredibly valuable learning tool, says Jim Gray, a former child development researcher who now heads the learning team at LeapFrog.

    wow - this lets you use google docs to compile latex online directly without copying the content to your own computer ... it even can use other google doc files dependent on the main file aparently ...
  •  
    nice tool ! now we can think about implementing it for the quaterly report ;)

BEC coupled to mechanical oscillator - 0 views

  • Treutlein and colleague’s work represents an important step forward in the use of ultracold atoms to study mechanical systems. "This experiment clearly demonstrates the possibility to use ultracold atomic systems as diagnostic tools and high-precision sensors, this is a very promising route of research," he said.

    Finally LaTeX for Google docs?

  •  
    mmm seems better (more option and direct preview) than spartantex
  •  
    Great!!! seems like the tool we were looking for....
  •  
    does not seem to work (at least not with Safari)
  •  
    Excellent!!!!!!!!! and works with Linux :-)
  •  
    Here it works fine in Chromium, Firefox and Opera (Linux).
  •  
    Worked fine, but after saving a document I can't get it back to the LaTeX mode...

Pattern | CLiPS - 2 views

  • Pattern is a web mining module for the Python programming language. It bundles tools for data retrieval (Google + Twitter + Wikipedia API, web spider, HTML DOM parser), text analysis (rule-based shallow parser, WordNet interface, syntactical + semantical n-gram search algorithm, tf-idf + cosine similarity + LSA metrics) and data visualization (graph networks).
  •  
    Intuitive, well documented, and very powerful. A library to keep an eye on. Check the example Belgian elections, June 13, 2010 - Twitter opinion mining

Tiny Laser Could Light the Way to New Microchip Technology -- Cho 2009 (831): 2 -- Scie... - 0 views

  • The nanometer-sized gizmo could provide a key tool for researchers trying to develop a new type of microchip technology called "plasmonics" that mixes electronics and optics.
  • The channel in Zhang's device measures as little as 40 nanometers wide by 5 nanometers high, far smaller than the roughly 250-nanometer diameter of a conventional laser of a similar wavelength.
  • Some physicists and engineers are hoping to build nanocircuits that manipulate plasmonics to marry high-speed electronics and high-speed optics.

  •  
    Looks really cool! And it's open source :)
  •  
    Don't know if you've noticed, but the current version is becoming more and more usable... did you try it already in your collaborative work?
  •  
    We've used it a bit with Juxi and Leopold for the work on the new issue of acta futura, and I think it is quite nice. The problem right now is that only a few people in the team have an account (and I have exhausted my invitations). Maybe you have one or two you are willing to share? :)
