Tweaked JURN

I made some small tweaks to the colours, the font size and the typeface on JURN’s front page. If you’re not a designer you probably won’t notice the difference, but it should be a little easier on the eye now.

Press here

A proposal for a preservation plan for small-press literary journals.

The Wiki Police

I used to hang around Wikipedia quite a lot, and have probably contributed around 200 original articles, and contributed to another 600 or so. No more. Why? Because I choose not to have a recognised single nickname — and thus seemed to attract the intolerance of the increasingly arbitrary Wiki Police. The Scholarly Kitchen covers a debate happening now, and reports one of the reasons for a marked plateau in submissions…

“The apparent intolerance for green-horn editors and furtive fixers has some concerned their exclusionary approach will have a chilling effect on prospective new editors, choking off new blood when it’s needed most.”

Retrodigitized Journals

Found today — Retrodigitized Journals, a large free archive of complete runs of scholarly Swiss journals.

Google Caffeine

Google is apparently set for a massive jolt soon — of Caffeine.
