http://davidsoergel.com/posts/gpg-keys-2008
GPG keys update, 2008. Here are my GPG keys, current as of 2008. My Master Signature Key is used only for signing keys and collecting signatures. If you wish to sign my key, please use this one. Please verify the fingerprint with me in person before signing it, of course. 2008-11-09 uid David Alexander Wolfgang Soergel (Master Signing Key - http:/ www.davidsoergel.com/gpg.html.

David Soergel - s3napback: Cycling, Incremental, Compressed, Encrypted Backups to Amazon S3
http://davidsoergel.com/posts/s3napback-cycling-incremental-compressed-encrypted-backups-to-amazon-s3
S3napback: Cycling, Incremental, Compressed, Encrypted Backups to Amazon S3. In searching for a way to back up one of my Linux boxes to Amazon S3, I was surprised to find that none of the many backup methods and scripts I found on the net did what I wanted, so I wrote yet another one. The design requirements were:. Occasional full backups, and daily incremental backups. Break up large archives into manageable chunks. The closest thing is js3tream. Thats not the end of the story, though, since it leaves o...

Open Workflows: A Vision for Collaborative Science. These are slides from my 3-minute lightning talk at the Bay Area Open Access Week 2014 event ( #oaw2014sky. I think you can imagine the story from the cartoons alone; please ask for clarification in the comments as needed!

David Soergel - Rampant software errors undermine scientific results.
http://davidsoergel.com/posts/rampant-software-errors-undermine-scientific-results
Rampant software errors undermine scientific results. An updated version of this post is now a paper at F1000Research. Errors in scientific results due to software bugs are not limited to a few high-profile cases that lead to retractions and are widely reported. Here we estimate that in fact. Computational results are particularly prone to misplaced trust. That estimate describes the work of professional software engineers not of the graduate students who write most scientific data analysis programs, usu...

David Soergel - Thoughts on GPG Key Management
http://davidsoergel.com/posts/thoughts-on-gpg-key-management
Thoughts on GPG Key Management. Edit the old key to have an expiration date, and send the new version to the keyservers. Once it has expired, revoke it for good measure. Create a second new key for daily use, with an easier passphrase. Sign the daily use key with the master key (again using a clean Knoppix system, since thats the only place the Master secret key should ever be available). Separation of Master and Daily Use keys. First of all, the benefits associated with subkeys apply, namely that the ma...

David Soergel - Visualizing a todo list with Treemaps
http://davidsoergel.com/posts/visualizing-a-todo-list-with-treemaps
Visualizing a todo list with Treemaps. I frequently find that Id like a high-level overview of the tasks on my todo list, but the OmniFocus. List views can be unwieldy there may be too many items to see them all at once, and I sometimes find it hard to keep track of which items are most time-consuming and/or most urgent (overdue, or flagged). There are various treemap visualization programs available, but as far as I can tell only Treemap 4.1. Obviously the graphical presentation could be much improved&#...

David Soergel - Notes on Yann LeCun's publishing proposal
http://davidsoergel.com/posts/notes-on-yann-lecuns-publishing-proposal
Notes on Yann LeCun's publishing proposal. These are brainstorms on Yann LeCuns pamphlet, A New Publishing Model in Computer Science. Since this was written, we implemented a lot of it at OpenReview.net. And wrote a fairly comprehensive paper. The initial review period. REs competing to rate the best papers first: does this create a first post race, favoring shallow over deep reviews? Is that worth more points (or, there is a multiplier on the karma associated with the review, to reward promptness)?
