I’m a bit wary of this doing this because I already get easily distracted by Ruby and bioinformatics blogs, but Neil gave me an idea when he wrote about using these technologies to track research. I currently use Subversion to back up my project files, and I noticed Twitter status updates are very similar in length to subversion log messages. I created a short script so that every time I do a subversion repository check in, the message is also sent to Twitter. #!/bin/sh #Inspired by tinyurl.com/yt4ssq   # Scrub weird characters MSG=`echo $@|tr ' ' '+'`   # Send twitter request curl --basic --user "username:password&...

It’s called SyncUThink, and it aims to do two things: 1. Search for, and upload to CiteULike, PDFs for all citations in your library. 2. Download all available PDFs to your computer. I have it running now. The first attempt crashed my browser (not uncommon with Firefox + Linux + Java apps, unfortunately), but it seems to be running smoothly. I’ll keep you posted - this could be a really useful tool, provided of course that your network has full access to online articles. Update: pretty good job. 100 PDFs retrieved for 153 citations and at a cursory glance, only one incorrect PDF was fetched. PDF download...

It has some loop functions and regex filters but otherwise it is currently a bit limited. One thing that it is very good for is to combine and filter RSS feeds. Imagine that you want to get all the papers of a journal (or a group of journals) but only if someone else has for some reason found them interesting. This was what I tried to do with this pipe. I piped the RSS feed for MSB through a Yahoo query restricted to Connotea or Citeulike and in return I get a feed for the papers that have been tagged by other people in these sites. The problem is that this relies on the yahoo search, so it has to wait for yahoo to crawl those sites before it identifies the a new tagged p...
