Greetings,
We are finally starting the process of moving our content between the old set of categories (which noticibly did not have a suitable home for our chemistry content), to the new set! In this in-between phase, the new categories are being populated, but they do no appear on the category list on our website.
I thought that I would just post these links here so that they exist somewhere!!
Biochemistry and Protein Analysis
Cell and developmental biology
Computational and theoretical biology
Isolation, Purification and Separation
Nucleic Acid Based Molecular Biology
Bronwen,
I don’t know if you have anything to do with the internal organs of this, but it would be nice if our NN user/pass combos could sign us into the ‘comment’ part of the natureprotocols websites.
Hi Richard,
Your nature network username (email address) and password should already be able to be used to sign you into the commenting part of the Nature Protocols site. But perhaps I should confirm this… It would be really nice if one only needed to enter the info once and then be signed in for everything on the nature.com site, but I seem to need to insert a username and password quite frequently.
There is a bug with the commenting system in that it might tell you that you are “not signed in” when you actually are – it is worth just ploughing on with your comment regardless of what it says (assuming of course that you did sign in in the first place!).
Drop me an email if it still doesn’t work? These blips seem to occur embarrassing frequently, but are usually quite easily sorted out.
Thanks etc.
Thanks Bronwen. I didn’t actually have anything constructive to say, but I tried to sign in anyway, and was left juggling passwords and names and got into a right mucking fuddle. It might be that I changed my NN email address and that hasn’t propagated. Dunno.
The common login seems to work for me. COuld I request a section for ‘tool development’ ‘e-science’,’web development’, or something along those lines. I would guess that a lot of your potential depositors are technical IT based people but not necessarily doing comp biol. I’m never sure where to put stuff on the ‘social’ and technical side. Its not really computational biology, some of it’s computer science, but a lot of it falls somewhere between compsci, social sci, and web development.
Richard: I (also?) seem to have too many usernames and passwords. There was a stage last year where I seemed to be clicking a “forgotten password” button at least once a week.
Cameron: You make an interesting point, though we don’t really have any protocols of the sort that you mention… maybe that it is because we don’t have an appropriate category!? :) Perhaps by the time we get to do re-update the categories this idea will be incorporated…
Ah, I couldn’t live without the Mac’s Keychain utility – I’m a good bunny and use different, secure (and ultimately forgettable) passwords. Makes life a real pain when using different machines, though.
@Bronwen: Its probably also because I mixed up protocols and precedings. Don’t mind me, early morning. Having said that there are probably some things we could put up on protocols.
How to manage citations, organise an electronic lab book, that kind of thing.
@Richard: I have one of those finger print readers on my laptop but the %$#@ing thing is off being repaired so often I can’t afford to use it. What you want of course, is a keychain, on a key chain.
I seriously considered having ssh keys on a usb memory key thingy when I was doing lots of hardcore sshing twixt Cambridge and Sydney.
It would be trivial, of course, to copy $HOME/Library/Keychains/$ME.keychain to a USB keychain and set up symlinks appropriately.
Hmmm….
