#OMG Just found out that rock guitar legend #JeffBeck went to the same school as me http://qttr.at/23ni Why did no one tell me about this!?

@pettter @tomas Of course, the secret ingredient is time, of which I have very little. This is why I have yet to put my plan into action!
-
@tomas @pettter I dunno. Plasma physics. Fusion. No, probably needs to be quite broad. How about just general physics.
-
@tomas Exactly! I've though about starting my own open access journal. All you need is a webserver and a LaTeX template!
-
@tomas Don't panic! No DRM on journals AFAIK. Just there's a parallel - in both cases publishers are profiting from someone else's work.

Arguments against #DRM (e.g. http://v.ht/Zaa9) apply to #OpenAccess academic journal publications too @calligraffiti @therealpennyfortheguy
-
@calligraffiti @therealpennyfortheguy Hear, hear! Don't buy DRM. I will try the other (legal) suggestions.
-
Useless #Google & #Amazon ebooks! Can't read without their (proprietary) apps. Anyone know where I can buy #DRM free ebooks? Popular ones!

Current talk at #IOPplasma2018 about the HAGIS code http://v.ht/hagis Catchy name! Also discussing LOCUST and HALO @ihaveamusic

RT @FusionCDT It’s @TheSteveBiggs talking about how magnetic shear affects kinetic ballooning modes #IOPplasma2018 http://v.ht/HdRJ

@harmlessgryphon Yeah, I prefer the matte look too. Varnish would offer better protection but it's worth it for the matte finish.
-
@harmlessgryphon Leave it matte. Why?
-
Base coat done. Much better! Now for the detail. Or should I quit while I'm ahead...? https://quitter.se/attachment/5543978
-
@tomas Not really my area but I can say they are a potential contender, albeit much further behind than tokamaks due to design complexity.
-
@tomas Linear devices used in plasma research. Unfavoured as fusion machines since C.1950s. Solution: closed magnetic field, e.g. tokamaks
