Science 'Open Notebook'

One to file under "wish I'd thought of that", from Slashdot:

Under [the] radically transparent 'open notebook' approach, everything goes online: experimental protocols, successful outcomes, failed attempts, even discussions of papers being prepared for publication... The time stamps on every entry not only establish priority but allow anyone to track the contributions of every person, even in a large collaboration.

That looks about right

Is it meme o'clock already? Well, if you really must know...

toto:~ richard$  history|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf "%5d\t%s\n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head
  130 cd
  110 ls
   50 ssh
   20 exit
   15 scp
   14 cp
   11 svn
   11 sudo
   11 openssl
   11 java

I'm surprised there's not some find, grep and mate in there.

• Disturbing
  Extensive use of "openssl" is usually scary.

Glenn on the history of his company

Tuesday, at £5 App, Glenn gave his personal view of the history of his company: The idea, name, table football, money, cake and the culture. The most interesting parts for me were his description of using scale to escape the for hire rollercoster (if you're working as an agency), the importance of having a shared set of values, and using money as a tool.

Interesting stuff. It'll take a while for it to sink in for me, but as Ribot caught the talk on video (part 1) (and part 2) you can judge for yourself.

[Disclaimer: Glenn is Jane's employer]
