My computer is on the mend. It has a new hard drive, but I’m only half finished with the huge, annoying job of re-installing all my non-free software. Some installed without trouble. Some didn’t recognize my valid registration number, forcing me to live with a free trial edition until I resolved the problem or bought a new copy. Some didn’t recognize my valid files of data and settings, forcing me to start over or plead with unnamed customer service people by email (since of course they don’t use the telephone). Some merely required a day of problem-solving solicitude. Two are still not working, and I still have 13 packages to go.
One side effect is that I may have missed some email sent between Wednesday and today. If you sent me a personal message during that time, I hope you’ll try again. Thanks for understanding.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
