Publish or Perish

A link from K.

Are you applying for tenure, promotion or a new job? Do you want to include evidence of the impact of your research? Is your work cited in journals which are not ISI listed? Then you might want to try Publish or Perish, designed to help individual academics to present their case for research impact to its best advantage.

Running History of IT stuff

Always regretted not recording IT changes as they happened. Eg. When I started computing (around 1980) I sold the original IBM PC (twin Floppy at $8,000, with a 10MB HDD around $16,000) So have started a history page in my wiki.

Will troll over my old notes to see what I can add!
