There's some nice work at the GLEaMviz site. For that I personally congratulate you and your research group. While I was reading the authors' names, I was sure that I had seen before. Now I know where... I read some of your publications for a class on Complex Networks. Very nice, you have reason to be proud.

Years ago, I ran a website for a handful of amateur writers and some of the stuff was really great. The crowing achievement was when I started seeing repeat hits from literary agencies in the logs and subscription requests from a few well known screen writers in the mailing list.

That's not really peer-review, but I thought it was great for a bunch of people who weren't / aren't writers by trade (almost all the writers were software people).

It is interesting that you mention review. I have written a book and I write a blog. I think the blog is much higher-quality than the book, because I don't have to concede to the reviewers, and I don't have my work "edited" by non-native speakers of English.

Also, writing a lot at once makes the stuff you wrote first go out of date. Then you fix that, and the stuff at the end goes out of date.

I am going to stick to blogging.

Nice observation. I published a novel, released it for free and on Amazon, and while I made some money and got some publicity, I find that blogging makes it easier to edit yourself and attract attention, and I got a few perks from blogging that I never saw from writing the book. I had a reader mail me a novel I mentioned regretting not reading, which was pretty incredible, and I met a handful of really neat people I met because they were following my blog posts.

Maybe this article:

Or maybe one of my other developerWorks articles:

"Client/Server Programming and the World Wide Web" ( Dr. Dobbs Special - Internet & WWW Programming, Dec. 1995 ) http://www.ddj.com/dept/architect/184409740

I wrote a simple CGI program for the above magazine that I believe to be one of the first CGI articles in print. Other CGI articles were present in that issue.

"Interfacing to a FOSSIL Communications Driver" ( C/C++ Users Journal, Jun. 1995 ) http://www.ddj.com/dept/cpp/184403026

I had been playing with BBS's and terminal programs for years, so this was rather fun on a personal level. I received some of my first emails from other parts of the world in response to this article. This article was also especially important to me because there were almost no editorial changes made to it. What you see is pretty much what I wrote.

More recently, a blog post of mine was referred to by the Java Posse on using Launch4j to package Java applications as Windows EXE's:

Cederman-Haysom, T. and M. Brereton "A participatory design agenda for ubiquitous computing and multimodal interaction: a case study of dental practice", In Proceedings of the Participatory Design Conference, Trento, Italy, August 2006. (http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~tch/PDC06.pdf)

...although I suspect I will be more proud about my full thesis finally getting published, as well as a journal paper I'm currently working on in my spare time that further expands on the ideas.

Anyway, this was a paper that discussed a case-study of the type of design research I was doing with dentists. I was grappling with how to use qualitative design methods with engineers while building complex systems, and I think this paper was very representative of the issues faced. The reason I'm proud though is that it was very well received and helped other people "get" the problem and what I was proposing, and it really helped focus and finish my thesis.

Linux Network Administration 4

The Linux Pocketbook Volume 3

The Advanced Linux Pocketbook Volume 3

Australian Linux Journal

My column in PC Authority

Various man pages in RHEL - resolv.conf, the default sudoers file, some bits in Virt Manager.

Some pages in the RHCT/E/A courseware.

My blog, which had 25,000 visitors a day before I decided that having to defend statements that VMware's practice of using the Linux kernel module interface to load a proprietary non-ported hypervisor was a bad idea every day was too much.

Various feature article for APC Magazine covering Linux, mobile phones, web technology, and servers.

These days I write more code than prose. The next thing I publish will in in Python, JSON, Objective J and English.

The Geek Atlas. I'm proud of it because every single review has been stellar, and I've heard from many happy readers. Although the peer review of editor, publisher and critics is welcome, there's nothing someone who's creative likes more than feedback from the end user or reader.

I've actually got a manuscript at a journal right now. I'm a CS guy, but I work in public health, so my paper is going to be in an epi journal. It was some work (2 years worth) on analyzing open ended text responses (you know, at the end of a survey, "is there anything not covered here that you would like to tell us?") Mostly methods / descriptive (that means not too many earth shattering conclusions), but it's a cool feeling to be a first author on a published paper.

I have a couple white papers I either authored or co-authored. Pretty much everything else I've published has been confidential and exist only in proprietary libraries.

This may get voted down as it hasn't gone through anything resembling a review but...

My blog. It's the first thing I've ever done not on the school->college->job path that gets set for us when we're young that I've stuck with and done (I think) a GOOD job on.

I know what you mean. I've written programming articles, but sometimes I wonder whether I was (am) only doing it for ego reasons and whether that time would have been better spent by simply doing more programming.

Maybe Why the Lucky Stiff had the right idea when he disappeared. I've thought about that a lot.
