Access Statistics of the History of Science, Philosophy, and Technology BBS Since Its Launch..
The History of Science, Technology, and Philosophy Forum was launched around July 12, and it’s now almost been a month. The number of visitors has been declining in a straight line; at this rate, it will probably drop to zero in a few days…… There haven’t been any new posts recently, though there are still a few new users registering. The vast majority of registrants, including the contact person who helped organize this conference, have been so miserly that they won’t even post a single check-in thread. To be honest, that’s pretty disheartening. Of course, the BBS is my own wishful construction, but after all, everyone did support it during…

The Internet Needs Scholarship; Scholarship Needs the Internet

The Internet Needs Scholarship; Scholarship Needs the Internet
The previous article mentioned that scholarship should actively confront the web; on the other hand, the web also needs scholarship. Through scholars’ active intervention in network media, on the one hand the possibilities for the development of scholarship will be expanded; on the other hand, distinctive elements will also be brought into the development of network technology. In an even earlier essay on the web, I cited Newell Castells’s historical review—“Internet culture” contains four layers: a technical elite culture that pursues knowledge and esteems excellence; a hacker culture that yearns for “freedom” and play; “virtual communists” who advocate sharing and practicality; and entrepreneurs in search of business opportunities. Of course,…

Why Create Such a Forum?

Why Create Such a Forum?
This newly launched “Forum for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology” is part of the “Beijing Graduate Academic Forum on the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology,” which will be held this coming November. This graduate forum was founded last year; Tsinghua took charge of it last year, and this year it is our turn. So the heavy responsibility of overall coordination has landed on my shoulders. As a shut-in, I have never been good at organizing affairs, nor am I good at socializing. Of course, under Professor Wu, people who are particularly good at organizing social activities have always been rather scarce, so I could only…

[Announcement] Starting to Try Weibo
Some of you may already have noticed that recently I added a new column, “Bloggers,” under my links, listing my haunts on the major microblogging and SNS sites. Among them, Renren (Xiaonei) was of course there from the beginning, while Follow5 and Digu were opened in December 2010. The latter is mainly used to display my “Digu” status in the blog sidebar, while the former is mainly used to synchronize status updates to Digu, Renren, and Twitter and Facebook. Although Follow5 and Digu are both considered among the earliest microblogging services in China, they have been used more for posting status updates, and cannot really count as having been properly…

Added a Subscription Feature
Although I had long kept a Feedburner email subscription link in the sidebar, no one ever used it, and Feedburner can’t send emails right away, so they’re also easily flagged as spam. Now I’ve set up one using the Subscribe2 plugin, and subscription emails will be sent directly from my own mailbox. Registered users will, by default, become subscribers; if you don’t register, you can also enter your email address in the sidebar to subscribe~

Switched EzEngage to connect with Weibo via WordPress
WordPress Connect Weibo seems pretty good. It likewise provides the function of logging into the blog with various Weibo and Renren accounts, and it’s much easier to configure than EzEngage. What’s more, it also comes with powerful synchronization features: in the future, after I publish a post on the blog, I can directly sync it to Renren, and even more magically, if, say, you use a Renren account to log in to Suixuan and leave a comment, then I will also receive that comment synchronously under my Renren status updates. So everyone should try to log in on my blog first and then comment in sync whenever possible~~~~ Too bad that…

Add Annotations to Any Paragraph: Enable the Feedback by Paragraph Plugin
First I happened to see a post in the Chinese WordPress forum mentioning a feature of Yeeyan (this site seems pretty good): marginal annotations. You can add notes to every paragraph in an article, and registered members can very conveniently discuss specific paragraphs. For a translation community like this, such a feature is simply a brilliant design. I was instantly drawn to this feature. I was trying to build an academic blog for the Web 2.0 era, and the most basic effect this kind of academic model hopes to achieve is: “infinite margins” — the blank space at the side of the page, or rather the space for communication, will…

Plugins Currently in Use on the Blog (Updated 11-11-20)
I’ve been tinkering with the new blog for several weeks now, and I still haven’t even gotten around to writing new posts; I’ve been pouring all my energy into debugging the technical environment. WordPress really is a great thing. It’s very easy to get started with, yet it also offers endless room for development—if you know nothing at all, you can install it in two minutes and start writing entries right away; then you can begin changing themes, installing plugins, modifying CSS styles, editing php code, and so on, going deeper and deeper, with unlimited room to fuss around. Of course, no matter what, content is always the main thing,…

Switching Blogs Again!

Switching Blogs Again!
In a nutshell, the blog has moved to yilinhut.com According to my original plan, ixiezi was just supposed to be a layover station, a place to practice before I bought my own hosting and domain and set up WordPress myself. Later I found that ixiezi’s philosophy and service were both quite good, and I thought I might as well keep using it like this… But in the end I still had to move away. The main problem is that Aixiezi has been terribly slow lately—unacceptably slow. At first, when I started using it, the speed was quite good: exporting XML files could basically reach full speed (over 200k), and refreshing…

Thought, History, Poetry — One of the Explanations of This Version of the Categorical Scheme
For the new classification scheme and why I call it “categories,” see “Categories and Hypertext Scholarship in the Network Age.” The present structure was built up while I was moving house; it has not yet undergone any deeper reflection or polishing, and is merely its roughest version. It will certainly keep being adjusted in the future. By the way, since copying the category structure when a blog is imported or exported is the most troublesome part and difficult to handle, when I make minor tweaks on the main blog, the sub-base and the backup probably will not be updated in sync right away; I’ll likely only synchronize them when there…
