Comment on On the conservatism of political science by Alexandra Samuel

Thanks so much for pointing folks to my post, Graham. I’d encourage folks to read the post by the APSA blogger I referred to above: http://bit.ly/pTWh4l It’s a really interesting tale of how folks responded to John Yoo (of Bush admin infamy) that also speaks to the small-c conservative culture of academia.

Again, thanks so much for posting.

You can use DevonThink Pro to store all your documents. It is AppleScriptable and reliable.
The learning curve is not the same than the Zotero’s one, but I think it is worth the effort and rewarding.

You'd be ranking a lot higher in Google with this post if you put to use some sort of keyword monitoring tool similar to this one: bit.ly/keywordranking Merely my 2 cents as a fellow niche website owner. All the best, Sharri Pun

Thanks for your comment, Neil. I have friends and colleagues who are happy to use emacs and the like, but I really do value looking at nicely formatted text. Perhaps it is a defect, but in my experience as an editor I have become accustomed to viewing the “final” product and editing it live, rather than writing mark-up. I’m not scared of writing mark-up myself, but for large documents I simply like to be able to see things as they will print (or as they will arrive in PDF.)

So I suppose I think it’s a personal characteristic whether a word processor adds to productivity or not. For you it may not matter. For me, the absence of WYSIWYG is a distraction.

The real trade-off is not this feature versus that feature, but how much time and energy am I willing to put into learning-the-Leggo(r) versus, how much I want to let my mind run forward on my current thesis/project topic.

All of this power is at your fingertips with old skool editors like emacs and vi(m). All the dongle clutter of word processors does not add to your productivity in research and writing. The subtle adjective “customizable” attached to both these old editors, refers to a code/hack library of pluggable/installable/modifiable extensibility that will do all of the above and more.

I use emacs with Org-mode, but do *not* recommend it to those who prefer to whine to technical support rather than work-it-out-for-yer-feckin-self.

Great info and straight to the point. I don’t know if this is in fact the best place to ask but do you guys have any thoughts on where to hire some professional writers? Thanks in advance

Comment on Google’s SSL shift helps schools, China censor search by Graham Webster

@SirSteven I think you’re right about this, though I thought I had checked this and gotten something on the encrypted.google.com.hk site. Now, on one proxy where DNS gets routed through the US, I get an error. On another, I get the same error from China Unicom, despite the fact that the connection goes through the US. I’m going to look back at this and correct as needed.

The punch of the post may be gone, but I stand by the analysis that making “encrypted” part of the domain rather than the protocol is a troublesome step.
