@Alyx There are several works (I guess they work that way...), like BASE (Uni Bielefeld) or CiteSeeX. I''m wondering the same, btw.
@DarkWitchClaire anyway, hope your day goes good
@siosilvar eh it seems perceived as arrogant
@snaums so I'm kinda wondering...how hard could it be to make a web crawler that went through tables of contents and abstracts of journals

To all scientists: is there a good alternative to Google Scholar? A good search engine indexing (most to all) papers published at good conferences and journals?
Gargron salt
so uh could someone tell me if eugen [at] developer.g*b.com is "real" or not
like, I'll be honest here, no sense in not laying it on the line, I think Gargamel is really awful, but...that's not really HIM is it? on a fucking g@b.com account?
@DarkWitchClaire eh... it goes
none of us is ever very happy
@DarkWitchClaire hope today's good for you :=3
why is favoriting your own posts even a THING
like, why would you even _allow_ that, as a programmer?
sorta thinking of optimizing for semimicro scale work by going with a lot of "disposable" plastic ware that I would reuse. washing pipette tips and plastic tubes and stuff like that is tedious, but it beats the heck out of dealing with glass
always kinda wondered how accurate those variable-volume pipettes were
gonna be buying some anyway, I think, and I kinda wonder if this is one of those things where I shouldn't be cheaping out
I can test 'em by weighing aliquots of water I suppose
@evie aren't there like seventeen gazillion pokemon now

see, if I became a game programmer, people might actually wanna talk to me here
if there's any one general pervasive thing I detest about contemporary graphical interfaces, it's the ease with which it's possible to execute irreversible (or difficultly reversible) actions with a single accidental mouse click

@pink_ink oh and I can't forget "Ready Steady Go"

@pink_ink how about this one
@Rabit so, sort of a mashup of "Gimme Shelter" (the documentary) with "The Exterminating Angel", sounds great
spectrophotometer stuff
trying to work out color-reaction methods for calcium and magnesium would be cool because then that gets me an easy way to estimate water hardness. I did find a mention about using rhodizonic acid for estimation of calcium, and there's gotta be others
found an _indirect_ method based on precipitating calcium as oxalate, then gauging its oxidation by potassium permanganate. cute, but not exactly simple
