[research] Moving research headquarters to Dreamwidth

Mon, 18 Oct 2010 22:08:50 GMT

Important notice! The main online home of my PhD research, this drupal site, is such fun to tinker with that it's become a a tremendously powerful procrastination-enabling device. I constantly find myself focusing more on the site itself than on creating actual content for it. So, I'm at least temporarily moving my center of operations to my Dreamwidth journal. The project itself is still exactly the same, and my commitment to open notebook research remains. In fact, it will be easier to follow because I'll be linking from Dreamwidth to research data stored on other shiny software services, instead of trying to recreate the functionality of these services on a personal website. All research data are linked to from the sidebar of the journal. I probably won't crosspost everything to the drupal site, so you may want to update any RSS subscriptions to the Dreamwidth feed. The drupal site isn't closing: I want to get back to it later, and there's a lot of links going there. I'm just putting it in cryofreeze temporarily because it's become a time sinkhole. Time to focus on creating content instead of playing with software all day long.

And on that note, I have a paper to finish, so I'll wax poetic about my favourite software services some other time. For those of you who aren't familiar with Dreamwidth, I very much hope you'll enjoy it -it's a rather wonderful open project.
