Yes. And thank you to everyone who has asked to have their weblog added to nodalpoint's recommended reading. I need a better way of organising these links, so I'm considering adding some kind of web links module.

Would you mind adding the

Would you mind adding the bioinformatics blog to the reading list? The blog is a academic view of bioinformatics focusing on reviews of bioinformatics related journal articles and reports from seminars/conferences. We also welcome reviews from the public on journal articles of interest.
Thanks

Hi, if you wouldn't mind, could you add the Genetics and Public Health Blog (http://www.aboutweblogs.com/genetics) to the "Reading List"?

Problem resolved

But I needed to use my personal email account instead of my professional one. It seems that there is a problem with the mail server from my laboratory. Happy to be now a member of the community.

Mail problems

Greg — Sun, 28 Aug 2005 13:43:08 -0400

After poking about in my mail server setup I discovered a number of problems. The mailname for my host had a bad character in the address (shame on me for not realising you can't use comments in the mailname file). Also for reasons that I haven't figured out, mail was getting rejected because the SPF check on the mail host wasn't working. It should just be neutral (if I understand SPF that is).

I have fixed these two problems, however I the reason you didn't receive you account details was because the nodalpoint mail server either a) couldn't connect to the mail server at your end (no route to host in my logs) or b) the mail was rejected due to the mail server being unable to do a DNS lookup on the nodalpoint mail server (Sender address must resolve in my logs.

You mentioned having some problems with DNS, it maybe that the DNS lookup is failing because the local name servers are not working.

Try registering with gmail or similar (I'll email you an invite if you don't already have one) and it should work. That's the best I can do at the moment (I'm still tweaking my mail setup), sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for reporting the

Thank you for reporting the problem with the nodalpoint accounts system. I have actually tested email verification and it was sending out emails, however I have been having email problems recently, so I plan to look into this in more detail over the weekend.

Originally the link to your site wasn't working for me via my home ISP, at work I had no problem, although the browser doesn't display the host name just the IP. The link now works from home as well, so it may have just been a DNS update issue.

Thank you

Hi greg,

Thanx a lot for the link on my blog you added in the side bar list. Did you resolve your problem of connection ? At now, my IP number is displayed in the browsers instead my domain name (www.fjossi.net). I'm asking people in my university to register it in their DNS servers, I hope to resolve that as soon as possible. By the way, I wanted to create an account on nodalpoint.org. It seems that I'm registered, but I received no email with my password. If I ask for a new one, I still receive nothing. What can be the problem ?

See u

Fabrice

Yeah

I wonder though, is it always just me ?

No problems with this link for me. Nice blog too.

Hello Fabrice, I've tried

Greg — Sun, 21 Aug 2005 02:55:24 -0400

Hello Fabrice, I've tried the link to your blog a couple of times and it has not been working (resolution seems to be okay ?). I actually saw your blog in the nodalpoint referrers and it looked really good. Also S2S looks very nice. Let us know when the link is working (or maybe it is just not working for me ?) and I'll add it to the side bar list.

Scientific weblogs

Greg — Wed, 20 Apr 2005 04:29:59 -0400

The editor(s) of Scientific American has one, Science magazine has one, I have one. That's right people, be prepared for the rise of the academic weblog.

So far the numbers are small and the range is diverse, however the theme is definitely scientific. You can read researcher's takes on anything from developmental biology, boolean networks for modeling cancer, anthropology, mass spectrometry, genetics of human migration, Archaea, and even systems biology. Click on the "read more" link for my current reading list...

Update: I have added all of the blogs mentioned to the recommended reading list (block). For suggestions or additions please add a comment to this thread.
