Paris Photos!

[asterroc]

In cleaning my house, I just discovered a whole slew of 2003 Paris photos, all on film. The B&W ones I need to find a negative scanner. The color ones I got a CD of when I had them developed, so they're going up on my Flickr account. Someone prod me if I don't remember to feature some of the good ones here. Meanwhile, sadly, my pro Flickr account is to expire at the end of the week. :(

And heh, uploading my photos to Flickr via my desktop PC is apparently slowing down my network, as Pandora is stalling here on my Mac. :-P Amusing. Never noticed network slowdowns before.

Our graphic arts program isn't that great. I could ask, but I think one of my friends at work has a negative scanner at home so she seems easier to ask to me.

I can get articles on ILL (Inter Library Loan), which means that some other institution photocopies them and mails or faxes them to our library, and then I get to keep it. It works, but it's slower than I want. I want it all! *insert evil laugh*

I hate having to get scanned articles. Half the time I end up needing at least two of the references and having to wait for them is unacceptable. Fulltext online journal access is one of the greatest inventions ever, especially when combined with scifinder. I feel so bad for people who had to go through actual paper journals all the time.

Thankfully I don't need articles too often, and I can always get the abstracts online which will indicate whether I actually need the whole article or not. Sometimes I ask friends at other schools to get them for me electronically b/c that's easier. Preprints of many astro and physics papers are fully available online too, so sometimes I can get a preprint when I can't get a final published version.
