If your are citing books and you are sick of creating the BibTex data for yourself: Cheer up, there is a easy way to get the data created. You just have to get the ISBN Number of the book (easiest by finding the book on wikipedia). Then you use the OttoBib webservice. Just replace the ISBN number in this example
@Book{marx2008capital,
author = {Marx, Karl},
title = {Capital : an abridged edition},
publisher = {Oxford University Press},
year = {2008},
address = {Oxford New York},
isbn = {9780199535705}
}
Some years ago I listened to Pushed Again from Die Toten Hosen quite a lot. In the last week the song catched up with me and I searched the song on youtube. I didnt even know that the video is that good.
A lot of people think that information technology is purely technical. That there is no room, need or space for politics. They think that technical decisions
are made with technical arguments in mind.
But this is not always true. There are a lot of fields in IT which are affected by political decisions. Take a look at the patent system, the discussion about copy right
and digital rights management. Observe the struggle of Free Software against the proprietary ones.
Blogging is a way to express your personal opinions and findings… But there are also some sort of “rules” which affect your status in the blog community.
I’ve discovered since I started blogging that it’s not possible to be a lone ranger. If you had started your blog as a private diary and you’re satisfied with three visitors a day: your mother, your boyfriend and your cat, then I supposed it’s fine to be alone and friendless.
However, the majority of bloggers blog for as wide an audience as possible, and many bloggers desire to make money from their blogs as well. They want visitors. We want visitors. Now that you are a newbie in the world of blogging, what do you do? What should you NOT do?
Today the worst happened.. I bought myself a webcam…
And 5 hours later I have a rather short vlog awaiting for everybody who is brave enough to watch..
Let’s see if I find some useful ways to profit from the webcam…
Only 3 days before I will go by train Rostock. I watched some videos today about how you should behave on such demonstrations and what you should do if the police catches you. Honestly I have to say that I nervous now.
But I’m still sure that it’s important to show support and to live civil disobedience. Of course I will not behave aggresivly *g*
I’m sure I will get a lot of important experience…. Being together with thousands of people to show you opinion…
But for now… I’m a little afraid.. But I think thats good *g*
I have to admit that I knew only a little about Creative Commons, but after I stumbled about this video, I’m trying to inform myself and other about the CC concept...
The first step was to make my stories CC, so look at them again, you will find a new link to the license on top of the stories…
Look at the video which motivated me to get myself CC…
I was just told that Apocalyptica has performed a show in the Euro Song Contest 2007. This performance was a great show with a lot of different artists and good music…
I’m always happy to learn more about good practices in software development. So I was delighted to see a link to a pdf about the “Open-Closed-Principle” in the Spring documentation.
The programming language used in this paper is c++, but it’s easy to understand, even for java developers like me. Read it, enjoy and learn.
