Got it. #SCIspa

Replying to @jcmeloni
No French spambots out there, perhaps.
Great 2 days of discussing scholarly communication w/#SCIspa. Now preparing for 2 days of making schol comm happen w/the #mla13 program cte.
Have let many angry thoughts go unshared over the last couple of days. Am grateful for the smartness and compassion of my @profhacker pals.
Replying to @LibSkrat
You are so much more than welcome - I should be thanking you for all the help!

Nov. 6-7!
Beginning to get this summer's very complex travel arrangements arranged. Booked thus far: EWR > FRA > OPO > FRA > EWR > BNA > LAX > EWR. +
Still to come: German train tickets and two more plane tickets. -
Replying to @jmittell
AWESOME. I was poking around a bit on the DB site and getting a bit perplexed by the options.
Replying to @Ed_Raso
Truly, but with as few automobiles as possible.
Replying to @jmittell
Will do!
Have had filling. Dentist wanted to make sure I felt nothing. Has, I believe, made sure I will feel nothing for a couple of days. *sigh*
Replying to @savasavasava
Except more lispy due to the fat tongue.
Sadly, I once again have feeling in the left side of my face.

Replying to @surlyF
Aw, rats. Am I going to have to scroll back?
Replying to @surlyF
Phew. Because real SFish trolls would require actual labor.
Replying to @mariabustillos
Great stuff, Maria!
After @dancohen raved about his, I bought myself an AeroPress, which completely rocks. Makes the best coffee ever. However, +
as a result, I have now seriously over caffeinated myself two days in a row. Must. Learn. Moderation. -

I'm a bit late. It's been a long day. But I'm awfully proud of Pres Obama for standing up in favor of full equality for same-sex couples. +
But I also want to say, very loudly, gods bless Joe Biden. Keep talking out there. -
Replying to @shannonmattern and @samplereality
I went through a period like that with "obtain" as an intransitive verb. Everywhere, for just a little while.
Replying to @wynkenhimself and @sleonchnm
Like most things with Joe, I didn't think it was so much a gaffe as his inability not to say what he's thinking. +
Replying to @wynkenhimself and @sleonchnm
So less WH water-testing than Joe pushing the admin forward, if only out of unstoppable id.
Replying to @LibSkrat
Have been off the twitters for a bit but am thrilled to tune in and find you reading this. Go go go!
Replying to @BendProf
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my Nana years ago, and still miss her terribly.
Amazing day. Best fish tacos I've had outside SoCal, fun at the flea market, & a 2 hr yoga tune-up with deep tissue work using rubber balls.
And now sunset on the terrace, thinking about dinner and reading. Not a bad day at all.
Replying to @captain_primate
Heh. It's funny, because it's true.
Replying to @rgfeal
Fort Greene. Gorgeous out there today.

I don't know if she insisted, but she was always Nana. 4-foot-8 Italian force of nature.

If the blowing of one's own horn annoys you, please ignore the following tweet.
I TOTALLY ROCKED TODAY.
That is all. </hornselftweeting>
Replying to @jcmeloni
Oh, but this was some serious rocking. Epic, hair-band level rocking.
Replying to @publichistorian
Best not to wear out my self-promoting welcome, I guess.
Replying to @LibSkrat
Heh. :)
Replying to @jasonpriem
I did hear about @altmetrics12 and wish I could be there! Unfortunately, I'm on my way to LA that day to give a talk.

Woo-hoo! I was hoping.
RT @samplereality: "Bloggers Assemble!" is motto for my stellar #MLA13 roundtable. We're the Avengers of the scholarly communication world.

Mwahaha. My dastardly plan comes to… um, I mean, you're going to love it! \(We'll definitely love having you there\.\)
Replying to @mkgold, @noctambulate, @moncia, @spikenlilli and @katie_rawson
Woo-hoo! Very excited about this, needless to say. #mla13
Replying to @briancroxall and @dancohen
But it does, doesn't it? There's a daily Kindle special somewhere...
Replying to @briancroxall and @dancohen
Gotcha, and completely agreed.
Replying to @GeorgeOnline, @briancroxall and @dancohen
I'm reading one of them now: Alice Kaplan's French Lessons.
Replying to @dancohen and @georgeonline
There… are ways… of dealing with that.
Replying to @dancohen
's all I'm saying. \(Alternately, there is the Bluefire app, which can handle DRM'd ADE books\.\)
Replying to @eetempleton
I'm not sure if I missed your announcement or not, but if I did, congratulations!
I love the day my super smart Twitter pals get their #mla13 acceptances. Looking forward to seeing you all in Boston!
Replying to @samplereality
Change bio now.
Replying to @brendabethman
Yes on bourbon in Boston, absolutely. That's the finest modification of one of my tweets I can imagine! :)
Today rocked a little less hard than yesterday, but only because yesterday was COMPLETELY MADE OF WIN. Any day would suffer by comparison.
Replying to @JenHoward
I hope you'll be there; I missed you in Seattle. Plus, #mla13 and LSA, one-stop shopping. Kinda irresistible, no?
Replying to @JenHoward and @jenserventi
Beignets are not so great in the winter, which NOLA does have, though they deny. And Boston is train-accessible!
Replying to @JenHoward and @jenserventi
Just saying.
Replying to @amitorit
Indeed. That much win will wear a person out.

Woo-hoo! Congrats - which I'll look forward to saying again next month!
Replying to @eetempleton, @rgfeal and @triproftri
AWWWWW!!!
This has been a week full of awesome so far. So much awesome, in fact, that I find myself thinking: how on earth is it only Wednesday? #sigh
Replying to @Ed_Raso
Thanks! There have been several quite good ones: http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=26&storycode=418126 https://blogs.montclair.edu/crdirector/2011/11/29/kathleen-fitzpatricks-essential-new-book-planned-obsolescence-publishing-technology-and-the-future-of-the-academy-the-crc-december-2011-spotlight-review-by-neil-baldwin/ http://alex.halavais.net/review-planned-obsolescence among them.

I was just about to reply again and say that I'm ready to accept my appointment as head of the Fed now.
Replying to @janaremy
That's… kinda awesome, if terrifying.
Replying to @dancohen and @msbonn
Amen to that. Looking forward to more trouble-stirring of many kinds, very soon!
Thinking about focus; new blog post: Intention. http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/blog/intention/
I couldn't possibly have made a web development mistake that basic, could I? So basic I'd be embarrassed to name it?
Why, yes. Yes I could.
Apropos of absolutely nothing: when working in a graphical interface, it's good to check whether dragging files will copy them or move them.
Replying to @ridolfoj
*hangs head in shame*
Replying to @ridolfoj
I really do need to get more command-line ftp-fluent, though. I've been too reliant on GUI clients for too long.
Gorgeous weekend wrapping up with vaguely threatening skies to the south. Hard to complain after last two days, tho.
Replying to @cgbrooke
It does! I had to reinstall WP today; that flurry hopefully means my feed is no longer borked.
Replying to @jwolman and @reader2k
I should say so!

Parts of it can be dug up via the Wayback Machine, but I fear not all of it. We def need more systematic personal archiving!

Replying to @PaperIsDue
Seriously! And nice to know that I have beaten that nail around the head and neck.
Replying to @LibSkrat
I will let you let me know that!
Replying to @rgfeal
I think the comment was either on yesterday's post or today's; I'm not sure which \(and it's of course now gone\).
Replying to @alicedaer
Car service will be easiest, definitely. A bit pricier than a shuttle, but worth it when you have a lot of moving pieces.

Replying to @RudyHuxtable
Hey, thanks for the link! Are you \(back\) in NYC?
Replying to @coblezc
Thanks! It's absolutely true: not quite "the perfect is the enemy of the good" but more "the good is the enemy of the productive."
Replying to @samplereality
Yes! I'm using "Twitter Mentions as Comments," which seems to be functioning well. Crossing my fingers that it holds up.
Replying to @RudyHuxtable
Hey awesome! We should definitely get together… sometime after July 21. I'm crazed w/prep for a long trip, but when I return?
Replying to @samplereality
Thanks. @dancohen inspired the direction I took.
Replying to @RudyHuxtable
We can totally schedule now. When looks good to you? I'm pretty flexible the first couple of weeks I'm back.
Replying to @samplereality, @wynkenhimself and @dancohen
That's one of the things that drew me to Ari - a nice, easily tweakable responsive framework.
Replying to @wynkenhimself and @samplereality
The fussiness of the Oulipo fonts has bothered me, too. Something about those italics.
Replying to @RudyHuxtable
I am allllll the way downtown, alas. August 3 would be perfect; I work from home then. Lunch?
Replying to @dancohen
That's a huge part of what drew me to this one; it handles the move from big screen through tablet to phone very nicely.
Replying to @RudyHuxtable
Fantastic. Let's check in that week & pick a time & place based on what we're up to & in the mood for. I'll look forward to it
Replying to @dancohen
I hope so!
Replying to @samplereality and @briancroxall
