Hey, I'm apparently @mkirschenbaum's doppelganger; I'll be addressing the ADE West in 3 weeks on digital scholarship & tenure/promotion.

Replying to @mmwwah
You can still get grandfathered in if you get a plan before the 7th, I think.
Replying to @amandafrench
Oh... hey! How about that! :)
Replying to @mmwwah
It's a good q, esp on the iPad. I apparently only used ~67MB on the iPhone in April, but I'm not sure how typical that is of my use.
Replying to @mmwwah
~135MB in March, ~93MB in Feb. Not sure how much all that means; prob the catch would be tethering.
Replying to @shermandorn
Gaaaaaaaahhhh! #hackacad

That would be the one. **sigh**

Hey, C *is* for cookie; that's good enough for me.
After two years, they've finally discovered the cause of the leak above my sliding glass door. I will declare triumph once it's been fixed.
But a helpful hint: when installing a sliding glass door, caulking around the upper lip and, say, nailing it to the flashing is a good plan.
It's also most useful if this is done before the building gets stuccoed. #sigh
Replying to @mmwwah
I know! Whodathunk.
I have apparently something on the order of 2.2GB of iPhone data usage since August 9, 2008. Interesting.
Replying to @cscannella
From my iPhone's usage pref panel, actually; not entirely sure how accurate it is.
Replying to @reyjunco
Thanks!
Replying to @dancohen
This is a very good question.
Replying to @academicdave and @dancohen
Only if it also includes @shermandorn's response. #hackacad
Replying to @sivavaid and @alicetiara
I mean, surely all that DRM is good for something, no?
Replying to @dancohen
When caught in disintegrating box, shore up walls! Or at least pretend walls are still there!
@dancohen @hcayless Some of it is the "We Have Never Done It That Way Before" syndrome I write about at the bottom of http://bit.ly/ceJZGZ
@dancohen @hcayless And some of it is that those who have long had the power to confer distinction simply do not want to give it up.
Replying to @jtheibault
Do you have a link for the Berube piece?
Replying to @sleonchnm
Brilliant; thanks!
Sigh. Just opened what should be a great bottle of red wine - to find that it's fizzing. Which it shouldn't be. Sad and annoying.
Replying to @kdettmar
The sparkling red that's meant to sparkle, mebbe.
Replying to @eetempleton
It was a gift, so I feel a little less bad about it, but it should have been a good bottle, which is the sad part.
Replying to @kwazana
HA!
Replying to @2xlp
Eh. It was a bottle of Edward Sellers Cognito. Should have been great, but... ah, well.
Replying to @eetempleton
There are some good Italian sparkling reds; there are also bubbly Shirazes, but they're a little sweet...
Replying to @mlmcgill and @dancohen
Yes, absolutely - but what I hear in ST's resp is conviction that there's 1 way to legitimize academic work - their way.
Replying to @mlmcgill and @dancohen
To jump from #hackacad to "was it peer-reviewed" is a refusal of imagination and a determination to maintain status quo.
Replying to @jcmeloni
Safe drive, Julie!
are other, faster, more dynamic ways of doing scholarly work.
Replying to @amandafrench
Yes. Sigh.
Replying to @janaremy
Congratulations, Jana!
Replying to @jcmeloni
Just catching up - so sorry to hear this - I hope there's better news to come in the stream!
Replying to @jcmeloni
I'm so sorry to hear about all this. Sending you the Xanaxiest thoughts I can muster.

Huh-huh. Huh-huh. You said "ass."

Dude, I've known @veek as a member of what turns out to be Team Super Awesome for *forever* in internet years. So hells yeah.

Thanks. I think I read this when it came out but I'm honestly not sure; I'll look forward to reading it again. Hope all's well!
Replying to @dancohen
Ooh, I'll have to check it out!
Replying to @mariabustillos
Yay! So glad you liked it.
Replying to @mariabustillos
You completely rock. I look forward to more!
Leaving tomorrow morning for Istanbul and this: http://www.cost.esf.org/events/Cultural-Literacy-Electronic-Textuality
Heading from there to Salt Lake City and this: http://www.aaupnet.org/programs/annualmeeting/index.html
And if that's not cognitive dissonance, I don't know what is.
Replying to @janaremy
Hey thanks - I will! I'm not sure how lucid I'll be at that point, but cool SLC places would be good to know about.
Replying to @midwinter_
Heh. I'll be in the nabe from v. late on the 17th until early on the 20th. Talking at some point up in there...
Replying to @midwinter_
Hey, cool. Thanks!
See you later, Internet. Will probably be delirious when next I see you.
Hi there! What time is it? \(And where's my suitcase?\)
Went to bed about 10.30. Woke up at 3. Breakfasted at 7, and am now going back to bed for an hour or two.
Amazing day of wandering around Istanbul. *And* my suitcase showed up, which means I get to wear different clothes tmw! Triumph all around.
Replying to @patrickgmj
Hey -- tht's nobody's business but the Turks'!

Replying to @samplereality
Totally what I would have wanted to say had I not been so literal-minded about the prompt!
And now we hit the crisis point of the early evening, as I am absolutely crashing. Do I dare to take a quick nap? It may be inevitable.
Replying to @jcmeloni
The only reason I'm fighting is that it's 6pm. If I can make it until after dinner I can *really* crash.
Replying to @samplereality
Here's hoping! I'd be willing to upgrade at the right moment if the annotation/notetaking tech improves.
Replying to @samplereality
But here's hoping the book-buying options improve too. I want everything in a portable format so I can read in whatever app.
Managed to keep myself awake all the way until dinner, and then have a fabulous conversation that kept me up way longer than I'd expected!
Which is to say yay, and good night.
Replying to @nycdlq
Hey there! Here for a two-day meeting in the middle of the week, but came in early to get to see some stuff - pretty amazing!
Oh my. Slept for 9 hours and feel quite human, if a little discombobulated still.
Replying to @sramsay
I agree - but it's making the process of revising Planned Obsolescence much harder! Everybody stop thinking for the next month, ok?
Replying to @katealaurel
Ooh, thanks for the recommendation! I'll hope that I have a non-conference meal remaining in my stay; I fear that I may not...
Replying to @katealaurel
I've had an absolutely fabulous time here so far; I'm certain I'll be back!
Replying to @dancohen
Come! \(Virtually, at least\!\) I'll be there. \(Non\-virtually\.\)
Replying to @brettbobley
Trust me, I'm wondering that myself a bit. And wondering how much of my usual shtick I can actually do without getting stoned.
Replying to @brettbobley
With actual stones, I mean.
ESF-COST workshop on Electronic Textuality beginning. Not sure anyone else is on Twitter.

Amazing, eh? 10am here. Thank goodness for Turkish coffee.
Crashing harder than I have in the three days since arriving in Istanbul. This is what I get for sitting still today.

Yes, exactly. I'll see if I can track it down for you.

Okay, Lufthansa business class lounge: what's the deal with the costy T-Mobile wireless? One would think I'd already paid enough.
Okay, this whole sitting around an airport waiting thing has gotten old. Let's go sit on a plane instead.
Ahhhh. Diet Coke with aspartame, like god intended. \(Which is to say, I'm in IAH, now awaiting my flight to SLC for AAUP\.\)
Just figured out that I've been on the road for 21 hours, with a 3 hr flight still to go. And I can't figure out if I ate dinner or not. :(
Replying to @amandafrench
I don't know about that, but I'm definitely up there in terms of frequent flyer miles.
Replying to @moncia
Thanks, Monica - I'm happy to have made it! Will look forward to seeing you tomorrow once I've recovered.
Somehow dropped a few hours in the math back there: it was *27* hours from takeoff in IST to touchdown in SLC. But I'm here. Thank goodness.

Hrm. That, I don't. I'll have to poke around a bit...
Pro tip: when checking into a hotel at midnight after 27 hrs of travel, being placed in a room overlooking a construction site is non-ideal.
Of course avoiding this scenario requires either asking a lot of peculiar questions or looking out the window upon arrival.

Cool - thanks so much!
I'd contemplated dumping my MobileMe account when it expired, but the new interface has me reconsidering. Pretty nice.

True dat.

Actually, I didn't know that, but I've gotten my MobileMe discounted for the last couple of yrs w/ comp purchases.
In #aaup10 panel on the power of "Free": if presses are going to deal directly w/ customers, rather than thru aggregators, must consider...
...what customers will & won't pay for, when "free" is okay as an add-on to purchase, and when it must substitute for purchase. #aaup10
Also, what consumers are willing to pay for even when there's a free alternative, a la National Academies Press model. #aaup10

Diane Harley: lack of willingness of faculty to change is key barrier in moving toward more cost-effective/OA publishing models. #aaup10
Replying to @barbarahui
Congrats, Barbara!
Replying to @TheRepoRat and @JenHoward
Me too. Studies like this often forget that faculty at non-R1 institutions publish too, and often just as much.
Harley expresses astonishment that scholars in media studies are still publishing books in print form. I could not agree more. #aaup10
RT @scribere: #aaup10 Harley: if even media studies folks primarily pub books, it's clear humanists going to be pub'ing books 4 a long time
Replying to @JenHoward
Me. \(Oh, wait; was that a rhetorical question?\)
Harley gives a shout-out to the awesomeness of @dancohen and @dhnow - and then calls DHNow's crowdsourcing American Idol. *sigh* #aaup10
Replying to @captain_primate and @JenHoward
thinks she meant it as a compliment. It's possible, but it's clear the #aaup10 audience did NOT take it that way
Replying to @JenHoward and @captain_primate
That, I'd absolutely agree with. She went on about @dancohen's awesomeness; it was just an unfortunate analogy.
Replying to @halavais

Doug Sery: MITPress has used social media in a way that has built community around the press, but not around any individual book. #aaup10
Sery: presses not doing that; some authors are using social media for their books, but those experiments not succeeding. \(O RLY?\) #aaup10
Sery calls out @mkirschenbaum's Mechanism as "the best book I've published at MIT Press" \(but says his blog didn't work so much\). #aaup10
MechanismS, that is. Too dopey to properly pluralize.
Replying to @TheRepoRat
I dunno. I like to think there are at least some successful examples. #ahem
Sery reading Noah WardripFruin's CommentPress experiment w/ Expressive Processing but still quite skeptical about whether it worked. #aaup10
Sery: citing Peter Lunenfeld's skepticism about whether use of social media can produce serious books. #aaup10
Sery: social networking a valid experiment, should continue to do it, but will probably have to do something different in future. #aaup10
Sigh. There ARE projects that work, thanks.

Sorry for double post: wrong hashtag.
Bob Stein on Planned Obsolescence: worked, but perhaps not as well as it might have, as it went up all at once; too daunting. #aaup10
BStein: also, because the writing was still solitary, if the reading wasn't; need to develop group writing processes. #aaup

Replying to @gmbritton
Awesome introduction; thanks for bringing him! #aaup10
Crashed for the better part of two hours. Am awake and downstairs again, but admittedly foggy.

Here's a question: is there a way in OS X to search a folder of pdfs to determine which ones are searchable and which ones need to be OCR'd?
@lebigot Thanks, EOL! I think I've got a workaround from a pal \(search folder contents for "e"; all that get hits are searchable; OCR rest\).

Replying to @nancybaym
Insanity. Or research. Not sure which.
Replying to @nancybaym
Trust me, me too. Usually I'd just preorder online, but was in Istanbul.
I'm next. Will be 3 hrs start to finish.

At the moment, I'm not prone to take that as a compliment. Tell me again when I build something cool, though. :)
Replying to @shermandorn
Don't know whether to respond "yeah, I rock," or "yeah, but what have I done lately?" The academic curse, I think.

Hey, internet - you don't happen to remember where I put my UK adapter plug when I moved in here five years ago, do you?

On the other hand, if any of you need any DSL inline filters, I have about a gross of them.

Bust out the champagne then! Inbox = 1 gift certificate!
Okay, Apple, I'm serious: Mail on iOS4 needs *both* a delete and an archive button. *Two* buttons, not one re-assignable one.

Primary reason I cut mine off today. And it wasn't all that long!

How utterly unlikely.
Replying to @sleonchnm
Mine was all about one screen of messages when I used a desktop client. With Gmail, it's about 10 that triggers me.
R's gone, and I'm headed out in the morning. So it's me, leftovers, and whatever's piled up on the DVR tonight.
Replying to @AlecHosterman
That was one of my motives for moving everything to Gmail: robust searching so you can find what you need only when you need.
Replying to @janaremy
Such an awful choice! I'm so sorry you're having to think about things like that now.
Looking forward to a last three hours and thirty-six minutes as department chair. Oh, did I say thirty-six? :)
