    Lost papers

    From time to time, I find myself going back to papers I wrote 8 or 10 or 15 years ago and finding them, if not outstanding, at least publishable; if only because I'm reading some other papers that deal with the same problem and were published (not by me) several years after that.
    What happened to them? Who knows. Maybe they were sent to a journal and they flunked, and then sources were lost in a hard disk crash, along with the experiments that feed them, which eventually condemned them to oblivion. If I remember correctly, that was the case of a paper I wrote around 10 years ago about how to use (or not) non-coding regions of chromosomes in evolution. No sources, no experiment, so the only way out now is to reproduce research all over again. Which is a bore.
    It all boils down to a piece of advice to my younger self: nothing is gained with a paper going down the drain. Publish it. Anywhere. If it flunks over and over again, upload it to ArXiV and be done with it. Keep it backed up somewhere, because ten years on, you will be be sorry for not having published it.

    Hi, JJ!

    Look what I have just found out:

    http://groups.google.com/group/sci.bio.evolution/browse_thread/thread/2e9e0159f946d30e/220be192adb90291?lnk=st&q=%22evolutionary+computation%22#220be192adb90291

    Old School, JJ! :D

    During my spare time, I enjoy searching the old archive of USENET - I am a member of the so-called USENET Archaeological Society. By the way, I am the only one! :)

    Persons from those good old USENET days seem to be much more intelligent than those of nowadays - see MySpace.com and Orkut, for example. :)

    I read some of your posts. Very interesting, JJ! There are so many nice stuffs: ECG signals, genetic algorithms, gnuplot pipes, fractals, and so on. :)

    It's a pity that I was just a kid along those USENET golden age days. :)

    Best Regards!

    Yep, I've been into a lot of things, and although I wouldn't consider myself "old school", I'm not young either... Did you find my first encounter with Guido van Rossum?

    Hi, JJ!

    Sorry, I did not find your meeting with the Python's mastermind. :(

    BUT, there was someone who thought he was indeed Rick Moranis:

    Guido van Rossum is secretly Rick Moranis.

    You are old school in the sense that the Web along those days was so much different from its current state. Blogs themselves even did not exist at that time! :)

    If I find something interesting, I tell you.

    Best Regards!

    Marcelo

    Get fit with motion-based games. Gaming is no longer a completely sedentary activity, and more and more people are taking advantage of new motion capture technology to physically interact with their games. A whole new genre of fitness games has sprung up, and they are a fun way to incorporate more exercise into your life. https://ifreegiveaways.net/xbox-live-codes-generator/

    For the past three months I’ve been working hard on developing a brand name for my new media platform. After pulling my hair out for nearly 100 days (and nights lol) I realized I just wasted all of that time when I found a book on brand names written by the founder of EMW. Now I have some really good choices for my new business name! I wish I had found it sooner!
