EThOS aims to hold a record for all doctoral theses awarded by all UK universities
(institutions). There are some gaps which we are gradually filling, but there is a record for at
least 90% of all UK theses, some 500,000 records.
EThOS also provides free, direct access to the full text of as many theses as possible.
No, just doctoral level – mainly PhDs but also other types of doctoral thesis, e.g. D.Ed., Mus.D., D.Eng.
No. Guidance from the QAA considers these to be Masters-level, so they're not generally included. The QAA Qualifications Framework can be found here https://www.qaa.ac.uk/quality-code/qualifications-and-credit-frameworks
We always work with the UK universities rather than with PhD authors direct. That way we know the theses we hold are the final validated thesis awarded by the university – it offers reassurance to the universities, authors and users. So always start by asking your university to arrange for it to be added. There are other websites where you can upload your own thesis – you could try some of those as well.
As long as it is a UK, doctoral-level thesis, send us the details using the speculative request form, and we will search for it and add it if possible.
EThOS operates a strict takedown process facilitating the removal of any thesis. If you wish your thesis to be removed from EThOS, please contact us with the details of your work, your own contact details and the reason for removal. We will then liaise with the awarding university to confirm the removal. For further information see https://www.bl.uk/help/request-access-restrictions-for-your-publications.
EThOS works with the universities and each one has a different approach. You normally have to sign a deposit agreement as part of your degree arrangements, but you might be able to arrange an embargo if you have particular concerns – check with your university. There are lots of records in EThOS for which the full thesis isn't available – perhaps the author has declined to allow it to be digitised, or maybe the PhD output is itself an original work which isn't suitable to be made openly accessible.
ORCID identifiers (http://orcid.org) are increasingly used by researchers, publishers and
institutions to uniquely identify a researcher and link all of their research articles, books,
papers, theses and other outputs under a single profile. Where ORCID IDs are provided to EThOS by
institutions, they are added to the relevant record with a link to the author's ORCID profile. More
often than not, we do not have access to an author's ORCID and privacy laws do not allow us to add
them in bulk direct from the ORCID website.
If you would like your ORCID ID to be added to your EThOS thesis record, please contact your university first and then email with the details.
DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) are unique identifiers that are increasingly being assigned to all
types of scholarly outputs like journal articles, papers, theses and datasets generated in the
course of research. A bit like ISBNs, the aim is to provide a unique, persistent ID to make
citation, reporting and access to the item easier and more sustainable.
If your thesis had a DOI assigned when you deposited it in your university's repository, contact email@example.com to let us know. We'll check the details and add it to the EThOS record.
Anyone can use EThOS for their research. You can access it from anywhere in the world, for free. It's an openly accessible website – https://www.ethos.bl.uk
There's no need to login to search EThOS, view the records, read abstracts or follow links to other repositories. You only login to download full theses directly from EThOS or to order digitised copies.
EThOS supports the open access commitment of UK Higher Education. In order to protect the thesis author's rights and to minimise opportunities for plagiarism, EThOS requires users to register on the system and log in so that we can track when, where and by whom a thesis is downloaded. Please note the terms and conditions of supply which you have to agree to before you can access a thesis.
No, unfortunately you have to register specifically for EThOS the first time you want to download a thesis, or order one for digitisation.
If you forget your password when you try to login, just click the Reset Password button; a
new temporary
password will be sent to you, and you can change it again when you next login.
If you wish to change your password without requesting a temporary one via email, then at the Login page, simply click Amend my Details and change your password in your account details page.
Go to the Login screen, then click Amend my Details.
Some theses will probably never be available in digital form or downloadable via EThOS. Many paper
theses are
simply too fragile to scan or contain third party material where copyright permission has not been
given to
make a copy. E-theses may be unavailable because of embargoes or other restrictions applied by the
institution or the PhD author.
If there's no sign of an e-copy and you can't order a scanned copy, contact the library of the awarding institution - they may let you visit to view the original or even supply it on interlibrary loan.
Abstracts aren't always available because traditional library catalogue records don't include abstracts so they've never been systematically recorded over the years. You could try checking the university library catalogue for more details, or asking them direct if they can help.
Yes, they are. These institutional repositories are the free, online stores where a university hosts its research outputs such as conference papers presented by its academic staff, often its PhD theses (not always), and some journal articles.
There doesn't seem to be any hard evidence that making a thesis open access negatively impacts your ability to publish books or journal articles based on the same research. Talk to your university to see about requesting an embargo if you think that would be needed. And if you have firm examples of the impact of open access theses on future publication opportunities, do let us know.
Each EThOS record has a suite of buttons to help with sharing and referencing. You can normally find advice online or from your university on how to cite a thesis, e.g. http://libguides.reading.ac.uk/content.php?pid=609690&sid=5136618#19115245
Yes you can use them for teaching purposes, please cite the thesis and highlight the fact that it came from EThOS or the awarding institution.
Institutions all have different priorities in opening up access to their print theses. Some have funds allocated to support digitisation of their theses in response to orders. For others the only way they can make their older theses openly available is to pass the scanning costs onto the user.
That's right. Once the scan has been done, it is added to the UK e-theses collection in EThOS and made available for download by others.
The full list of participating institutions shows the digitisation arrangements for each.
Your card is authorised for the full amount and only charged if and when the thesis is digitised. Although you need to provide your payment details in advance, like most online shops the payment is only taken when the order is satisfied.
Not in the record itself, but when you go through the process of ordering it for digitisation you will see a Zero charge if there's an order already in the system – you won't be charged again, and you'll still be notified when the item becomes available.
From 1 January 2021, VAT at the UK rate of 20% must be added to all digitisation orders placed through EThOS. Digitisation through EThOS has been assessed as not considered a "digital service" for VAT reasons because we are not transmitting a digital file directly to the customer. It is considered a "non-digital service" as described by UK Government guidance.
You can check the status of your order by going to the Order History screen where you can see which theses are available to download and which are still being processed. The British Library has a 30 working day turnaround for the digitisation process but this is after the paper thesis is received from the institution. It takes the institution several days to retrieve and check the thesis before sending it to us by normal post – and longer if they need to contact the thesis author for any reason. Please allow at least 30 working days to pass before chasing your order. You need to allow even more time if you have ordered a printed or CD copy of the thesis.
When the thesis is digitised, it is added to EThOS. This triggers an email to you to tell you it is ready for download. Just follow the link in the email, login to EThOS and download your thesis.
No. You need to download it yourself after logging in and agreeing to the re-use Terms & Conditions. Doing it this way ensures all copyright conditions are met.
Unfortunately you cannot pay the digitisation fee for your users from your EThOS deposit account. If you would like to pay on behalf of your users, please login and order the thesis under your own name. When the thesis has been digitised and is available for download, you will be notified by email as usual. Unless you want a copy for your own purposes, do not download the thesis. Instead inform your user that the thesis is available on EThOS and ask them to download a copy for themselves. By following this procedure, you pay for digitisation of the thesis and your user agrees to the terms and conditions of supply of the thesis, so all legal requirements are met.
No. In order to ensure author rights are protected, all users downloading theses from EThOS must
agree to the terms and conditions displayed. If you download a thesis and supply it to someone else,
you break the terms and conditions of supply you agreed to. There is no limit on the number of
readers who can use the online copy.
The terms of supply also apply to printed copies. If, in spite of easy online availability, you particularly want to add a printed copy to your library stock, you would need to seek the permission of the copyright holder.
No, not without the express permission of the author or awarding institution.
Yes, the metadata is available for re-use for not for profit purposes. You can harvest using the OAI-PMH protocol system; the base URL is http://simba.cs.uct.ac.za/~ethos/cgi-bin/OAI-XMLFile-2.21/XMLFile/ethos/oai.pl. A CSV file of the entire metadata set is also available to download under a CC-BY licence from the British Library Research Repository.

Soderbergh, Owen team for a 1900-era medical drama
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - No rubber gloves. No high-tech instruments. No medical-malpractice lawyers.
Welcome to the Knickerbocker Hospital, aka the Knick, a bloody citadel of healing in circa-1900 Manhattan where great strides are made (soon, an X-ray machine!) even as its routine procedures seem borrowed from the butcher shop and its mortality rate isn't much better.
This is the setting for "The Knick," premiering Friday at 10 p.m. EDT on Cinemax.
The 10-episode season is directed throughout by Oscar- and Emmy-winning Steven Soderbergh, and stars Clive Owen as the hospital's world-class, hard-driving (and, by the way, drug-abusing) chief surgeon.
Beautifully filmed in New York City, "The Knick" captures a distant era with remarkable fidelity, as if the filmmakers had transported themselves back in time and then let the cameras roll. And despite the distance spanned, much about "The Knick" feels comfortably familiar - though only up to a point, as the premiere quickly demonstrates.
"Medical dramas tend to be about people coming in very sick and doctors working hard to heal them," says Owen. "But with our pilot script, we're just four pages in" - he snaps his fingers - "and we've already lost a pregnant woman and her baby. Welcome to 1900! This is startlingly different from other medical shows in its casual brutality."
If "The Knick" evokes a more primitive "St. Elsewhere" or less frantic "ER," Owen's Dr. John Thackery might suggest the titular hero of "House."
Thackery is "brilliant, he's abrasive, he's extremely difficult," says Owen during a recent joint interview with Soderbergh, who adds, "He's very direct. I like that!"
So is Soderbergh, especially when voicing his dos and don'ts of directing actors (who in "The Knick" also include Andre Holland, Jeremy Bobb, Juliet Rylance, Eve Hewson and Michael Angarano). A major do, he advises: Maintain a light touch.
"I don't want to get in the actor's head," says Soderbergh. "If he's THINKING instead of BEING, that isn't good. I like to keep whatever instruction I have pretty technical," which is to say, largely focused on the blocking.
On "The Knick," Soderbergh's camera (he's the cinematographer, too) is nimble and ever-attentive, sometimes sticking with the scene in a single shot as much as three minutes long, staged as theater-in-the-round with the camera covering the action, rather than rallying the actors to its needs.
"If the camera's gonna move," says Soderbergh, "it's moving because the actors are moving, not 'cause I want it to move."
This is not to suggest he's indifferent to where the camera lands.
"To me, the difference between placing a camera HERE and a camera THERE" - his hands are extended just inches apart - "is the difference between a shot and something that's NOT a shot."
Another Soderbergh creed, this one specific to "The Knick": "I said, 'I don't want to see a single surface that isn't glossed in some way. Tabletops, wainscoting - I don't want to see a matte finish on anything.'" Why? "It looks authentic. And looks better!"
Meanwhile, Owen had his own concerns. The 49-year-old Brit's many credits (including "Gosford Park," ''Sin City," ''Hemingway & Gelhorn" and "Closer") have established him as a fine actor, with his performances often drawing on his dreamy heartthrob charms. Not here. While Dr. Thackery is a charismatic figure, his obsessions, demons and addictions leave him often looking ill, haunted or deranged. Among Owen's challenges was keeping track of his character's vacillating physical and mental state from scene to scene.
"I kept a wall graph: 'How am I now? When did I do some cocaine last? Do I feel like I need another hit?' That issue was always going on, underlying everything while I was playing him."
Owen was not looking for a series and the commitment of a five-month shoot. But the script by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler won him over, he says: "As an actor, it reminds you why you do this."
Soderbergh was even more surprised. He had declared last year (or seemed to) that he was done making movies. His final film was to be "Behind the Candelabra," the acclaimed HBO biopic of pianist Liberace that premiered in May 2013.
Then the script for "The Knick" reached him, "over the transom," and his plans abruptly changed.
"I did not expect to be back on a set for a long time - years," he says, "but being back and being happy, I realized this is what I do, what I'm supposed to be doing. It reoriented me in a very significant way."
Now he's primed to direct and shoot the already-ordered second season of "The Knick" while Owen reclaims center stage. And with luck, any further advances from Dr. Thackery won't include his introducing surgical masks.
"The bane of doctor shows!" says Soderbergh, noting with a laugh how they obscure actors' faces and muffle their speech at key moments of high drama. "Not having to use them - that's fantastic!"

Trojans split with Blue Devils
Sturgis' boys survived, while the girls fell in a SMAC-East doubleheader at Richland-Gull Lake Friday.
Sturgis 43, Gull Lake 42 (boys)
The Trojans saw another fourth-quarter lead disappear, but a 3-pointer by Jalen Cox with about 15 seconds left lifted Sturgis to a win over the Blue Devils.
"Coming to the bench, after I called a timeout, Jalen whispered in my ear to get him the ball," Sturgis coach Keith Kurowski said. "We ran a 3-play (3-point shot) for him called 45-double-double. We executed it well, ran a double screen, Patrick (Haas) delivered ball and Jalen shot with a lot of confidence.
"We were going for the win."
Sturgis (7-7, 4-6 SMAC-East) led 36-27 after three quarters, but Gull Lake (6-8, 4-7) was able to knot the game at 40-40 on a triple by Joey Adamski. The Blue Devils then took their first lead since the first quarter as Dean Kolstad hit a bucket with less than 30 seconds remaining. A missed free throw to complete the three-point play proved costly.
After a Trojan timeout, the Trojans were able to find Cox who drained the game-winning shot.
"I thought we might have played our most complete game of the season offensively and defensively," Kurowski said. "It might be the most satisfying win of the season."
Sturgis still had to make a defensive stop. The Trojans Eduardo Portillo deflected a pass to teammate Tyler Bennett as the Blue Devils went for the win and ended the threat as the buzzer sounded.
"They called a timeout and we switched our 'D'," Kurowski said. "We had been playing man-to-man most of the game and we changed to a 2-3 zone. That threw them off-kilter."
The Trojans Chance Stewart was key inside in the first three quarters, scoring all of his team-high 20 points.
"I thought we did a great job of coming out with poise and patience," Kurowski said. "We did what wanted to do in the first half. We had patience, movement of the ball to high percentage areas and we converted."
Sturgis led 12-9 after one quarter and was able to increase it to 21-15 at halftime. A late jumper by Patrick Haas gave the Trojans a 36-27 edge heading into the final period.
Cox finished with 13, Haas tossed in eight and Portillo had two.
O'Dell Miller led the Blue Devils with 13 points, Adamski finished with 12 and Kolstad added 11.
"Eduardo held Kolstad in check, he came in averaging about 20 points a game," Kurowski said. "We did a good job on Miller too. We played smart defensively."
Stewart added 13 rebounds, while Bennett added five assists and Cox had four.
Richland-Gull Lake 56, Sturgis 28 (girls)
A big second quarter lifted the Lady Blue Devils to the home win over the Trojans.
"In the second quarter, we didn't have any energy," Sturgis coach Brian Beebe said. "They made us pay for our mistakes."
Gull Lake outscored Sturgis 22-2 in the second period to take a 36-11 lead at halftime. They hit four 3-pointers in the quarter, according to Beebe.
"They are the best shooting team in the conference, the most skilled," Beebe said. "They didn't do anything we didn't talk about in practice (Thursday)."
The Lady Trojans opened strongly trailing 14-9 after one quarter.
"We did a good job defensively in the first quarter," Beebe said. "We forced them into some mistakes."
Gull Lake (11-5, 8-3) continued the strong play in the third quarter pushing the margin to 50-18. Sturgis (4-11, 2-8) won the fourth quarter closing the gap on the final score. Rachel Anderson led the Trojans with 10 points, Marissa Parker finished with five, Nicolette Nelson tallied four, Ariana George added three and Courtney Lovelace, Kayla Nichols and Morgan Pueschel each had two.
"We have two weeks left (in the regular season) and five games," Beebe said. "We need to learn from what we didn't do right tonight."

During the December/January slowdown, Geek Feminism is re-publishing some of our highlights from last year. This post originally appeared on October 13, 2011.
Trigger warning for discussion of and graphic examples of threatening online harassment.
The other day Mary posted Online harassment as a daily hazard, linking to s.e. smith's On blogging, threats, and silence. I thought I might take the opportunity to talk about my experiences since starting the Geek Feminism blog in 2009, if only as another example to add to the long list we already have.
In early 2009 I wrote a series of blog posts on my personal blog, celebrating the achievements of Dreamwidth and the Organization for Transformative Works' Archive Of Our Own (AO3), two open source projects that launched into beta around that time, and that had large, majority-female developer communities. Someone at O'Reilly saw them, and in May '09 I got an email from the organisers of the O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) asking if I'd like to give a keynote presentation about the subject.
At first I declined, asking whether, instead, they could find me a regular slot in the schedule. I wanted to talk about the projects and about what we could learn from them with regard to building inclusive, supportive developer communities, but I was uncomfortable with the degree of exposure I was likely to get by doing so in one of the morning keynote slots.
(I remember talking to my boss about it at work the next day, telling him I was flattered but didn't much relish the negative attention it would get me. He was surprised, and didn't get it. Later, he would admit that he'd read the ensuing comment threads around the web and was stunned not only by the content of them, but that such responses were expected.)
Anyway, at the end of May I went off to WisCon and talked to a bunch of supportive, inspiring feminists, and when I came back I agreed to give the OSCON keynote. I spent the next two months trying to figure out how to talk about the experiences of women in open source while keeping the message positive — something O'Reilly's conference organisers had specifically requested.
Here's the talk I gave. Don't read the comments. Well, not unless you really need to raise your blood pressure. There were another 250 comments on the O'Reilly Radar post about my talk, and yet more on other tech blogs that linked to it. When I got back to work the week after OSCON, my boss had read them all and said, "Wow, I had no idea."
What you'll see there, if you brave the comment threads, are lots of attempts at derailing and 101 style conversations. For the most part, I deleted the particularly vile stuff, but you can bet there was some. After dealing with those comment threads, and those on subsequent related blog posts, I decided to create the GF blog. I wanted a group blog where, when I was exhausted by it all, I could get help from my co-bloggers.
Over the following six months, as my OSCON talk was linked all over the place, and as GF took off, I started to get more nasty email. In September of that year, GF became the target of a guy who goes by the name of MikeeUSA, who had previously targetted the Debian Women and LinuxChix communities. He started commenting here on GF, and sending email to GF bloggers, commenters, and people who linked to GF from their own blogs.
The women of the "geek feminism" movement will be just as effective at excising men from the movement as Nina was at systematically destroying Hans Reiser's life untill he saw no reason, nothing left in his life, that could hold him back from striking back.
(Nina Reiser was murdered by her husband in 2006; see yatima's post in memory of her.)
We deleted his comments here, of course. At first we did so quietly, not wanting to "feed the troll" But I was dubious of that traditional wisdom, and worried about other people getting messages from him and perhaps being less able to deal with it. I decided to write publicly about MikeeUSA so that everyone would know what was happening. In October '09 I posted PSA: MikeeUSA's hate speech and harassment.
As I was drafting that post — literally, I had the WordPress UI open in another tab — I got an email from a young woman in the open source community saying, "I just got a comment on my blog from this death-to-women's-rights guy, and I'm not sure what to do about it." I forwarded her a copy of my draft post, which included the following tips (summarised, but I do suggest you read the full post):
- Moderate comments on your blog. Your blog is your space, and like your own living room or workplace, you have the right and the responsibility to make it a safe environment for those who gather there.
- Save copies of all correspondence. Keep a copy of any blog comments, emails, or other correspondence you get from [anyone] who threatens or harasses you. Even if it starts out mild, it never hurts to have a paper trail.
- Report threats to law enforcement. Threats of violence are illegal, and should be reported to law enforcement. Your first step is to contact your local police, wherever you are. You can call 911 (or local equivalent), or visit your local police station in person.
I would probably write that final point differently these days. Less prescriptively, for starters. Law enforcement is seldom willing or able to do anything about online harassment, and the process of dealing with them can, in itself, be pretty traumatic. That said, if you're willing and able to do so, it might help, if only by contributing to aggregate data.
In any case, once we had the MikeeUSA thing out in the open, it changed the whole tone of things. The PSA got passed around various women-in-tech communities, and the GF wiki and blog became the top Google hits for his name. Soon, I started seeing him show up in people's comments and get responses like, "Woohoo, I must have made it to the big time now Mikee's come to visit!" Rather than each individual woman feeling singled out and alone, privately deleting blog comments or email messages, we started to work on it together. We encouraged people to send copies of their emails to a central repository, and forwarded them all to the feds (who, of course, did nothing with them — *sigh*). Eventually, the whole thing came to a head with Eric S. Raymond supporting MikeeUSA and his "right" to have his hate speech hosted on Sourceforge.net, and, after a weekend's hacking, this lulzy, pony-filled denouement.
What you don't see from the blog posts are the effect this had on people's mental and physical health. I can't speak for the other women targetted by Mikee, but I know that it affected my ability to concentrate, sleep, work, and socialise. Apologies for the TMI, but my gastro-intestinal system is also fairly sensitive to stress, so I was physically ill as well. I took several days of sick leave and went to the beach for an extended weekend, completely offline, to try and regain some equilibrium.
So far so bad, but I was at least managing to muddle through my day to day work as a technical community manager at a dotcom startup. That is, until I got a second particularly nasty stalker. This one, a Wikipedia troll, had found his way to my employer's online database and tried to fill it with rubbish. As part of my job, I'd removed it and blocked his account, then mentioned on our public mailing list that I'd done so. The troll was annoyed, and presumably Googled my name, whereupon he found my OSCON talk.
The first I knew about this was when I got an email from a well known technologist asking whether I had any idea why a post on his blog, linking to my OSCON talk, had suddenly attracted a dozen commenters all posting abuse directed at me. I checked it out, and found comments on my professionalism, appearance, fuckability, and so forth. "Fat dyke slut" was pretty typical of the sort of language used, along with criticisms of my work and calls for me to be fired from my job. The IPs matched the guy I'd blocked at work.
The comments also linked to other blogs where similar abuse had been posted. I followed the links and found that it was spread all around the web, and all of it was on third-party sites where I had no control over the comment moderation. I had to contact each of these websites individually and ask them to remove the comments. Luckily most of them did so.
Because this was work-related, I also had to tell my boss. I was, after all, being harassed in relation to something I had done in the course of my professional duties, and my company had a responsibility to prevent that. I also informed the rest of my team, as they were likely to catch some of the side-splatter. Have you ever had to show your male colleagues a webpage that calls you a fat dyke slut? I don't recommend it. However, my boss — the same one who'd been surprised by the comments straight after the OSCON talk — was extremely supportive, and the company did everything it should have. I spoke to lawyers and we determined a plan of action if the abuse continued. Fortunately, it didn't. However, the negative side-effects of my "hobby" — feminist blogging — had now followed me to the office, and I could no longer keep the two separate. My chances of being able to relax and do my work without worrying about that stuff had gone out the window.
Not long after, another harasser was causing trouble for the Dreamwidth developer community (which, as I mentioned above, is predominantly female). Among other creepy behaviour, he phoned various people's workplaces and accused them of distributing child pornography. I had to go to our office manager and tell him that if anyone called claiming to be a minister of religion and accusing me of that sort of thing, to ignore it. Awkward.
That was about nine months after my OSCON talk, and I'd had three separate cases where abuse related to it had negatively affected my professional life. Other women have talked about cutting back on their blogging out of concern for their personal safety, or to protect their children, but I wonder how many other female bloggers have had work-related problems like I did, and cut back on their blogging to avoid having abuse and harassment leak over into their professional lives?
The most recent outcome of this whole process occurred in March of this year. The startup I was working for in 2009 had been acquired by Google, and I'd submitted a talk to Google I/O (their big annual conference) to showcase our APIs. A couple of months before the event, I attended a kick-off meeting in Mountain View, where I sat in a lecture-theatre style room along with all the other presenters.
The senior exec in charge of the whole thing came to give us a pep talk. He told us how big and important the conference was, and what an honour it was to be speaking there. He told us that it was a great opportunity, because we would be speaking not only to a huge crowd in San Francisco's Moscone Center, but our talks would also be filmed and put on Youtube, where they could potentially get hundreds of thousands of views (and, presumably, a commensurate number of comments).
I had a panic attack. My ears were ringing, my heart was beating fast, and I was shaking. I couldn't hear what was being said from the front of the lecture theatre, and I just wanted to escape. I managed to get up and leave the room, and once I had found myself a safe corner outside, I got online and talked it through with a friend, then contacted a colleague and asked them to speak at Google I/O in my place.
I presume that most of the people in that room, including the exec who was speaking from the podium, had never had the experience of 6-12 months of very personal abuse after giving a conference talk. If they had, they might realise that the opportunity to have a video of oneself on Youtube, with hundreds of thousands of views and unmoderated comments, is not something everyone would want. (See also: Mary's excellent series on conference recordings and harassment, accounts of people's experiences, thoughts on ethics and policy.)
By the time this happened, I'd already decided — like many women before me — to drop out of the tech industry, so it was no big deal for me to turn down a high profile speaking opportunity. In fact, I hadn't spoken at any major conferences in a year or so, preferring small events and unconferences where I could focus on teaching people about our technology, rather than on any potential harassment.
I'm fairly conflicted about my choice to quit the tech industry. I don't want to be part of some statistic about retention rates, but on the other hand, I need to do something that feels rewarding and fun, and the work I was doing — which involved lots of speaking at conferences — wasn't giving me that any more.
I didn't quit because I couldn't handle the technology, or because I had a baby, but because I had become fundamentally disenchanted with a "community" (please imagine me doing sarcastic air quotes) that supports the kind of abuse I've experienced and treats most human-related problems — from harassment to accessibility to the infinite variety of names people use (ahem ahem Google Plus) — as "too hard".
That said, I'm still a techie at heart, and I plan to keep working with and on technology in whatever career I have ahead of me. I'm particularly interested in using open tech to preserve and promote independent music, so you'll continue to see me around in many of my usual tech haunts.
Which brings me to a couple of weeks ago, when I got an email that read:
Hey slut, take your left wing socialist idealogy and go fuck off from ubuntu.
It came from someone calling himself "Markus G", with email address grandrhino at hotmail, and IP address 188.8.131.52 — a static IP address with the ISP TPG, and a traceroute indicating that he's probably in Brisbane, Australia.
Luckily, I know I'm not alone. I contacted the GF bloggers through one of our backchannels and asked if anyone else had heard of this guy. Turns out Mary had heard that "Markus" had previously sent similar filth to another woman in the Australian Linux community (she alluded to this in comments on her previous post). In that case, it was related to the Mark Pesce keynote at LCA 2010 and the subsequent discussion on the Linux Australia mailing list.
So, here's our situation. We have a man (presumably; at any rate he appears to want to be identified as such) in the Australian Linux community, who targets women by sending them private abusive emails from a throwaway address and with a name that can't readily be connected to any publicly known member of the community. His ISP won't hand out information about him without a court order, his abuse doesn't present the kind of imminent threat to physical safety that might interest law enforcement, and despite Linux Australia's diversity statement and Linux.conf.au's anti-harassment policies, it's not clear that there's any practical thing that either of those groups can do about him.
I have a talk about a tech/music/community project I founded scheduled at Linux.conf.au in January. If I attend — and I'll freely admit that I've been reconsidering it — I'm going to be attending with this on my mind. That is, of course, what "Markus G" wants: for me, and the other women he's targetted (and I don't doubt there are more than just the two I know about) to attend LCA in a state of fear and discomfort, knowing that there are people there who hate us and want us to fuck off out of "their" community. And this is one of the better conferences, with an anti-harassment policy and at least one known case where they've enforced it.
What are we going to do about it?

Shoulder bag with a soft frame detail, sewn in a bone white calf leather.
Lined with a soft beige goat suede and a pocket with zipper for small essentials, as well as one open pocket for cards.
With two shoulder straps, one with a leather frame detail and one adjustable strap with details in yellow metal.
24 x 8 x 18
Palmgrens products are sewn in genuine calf leather, carefully selected from tanneries in Europe. These leathers are naturally preserved and will develop patina with time.
For the product to age with grace we recommend using a natural undyed leather balm to moisturize. This allows the leather to keep its natural flexibility and shine.
Begin by sweeping a dry soft cloth over the product to remove any small particles of dust. Apply a generous amount of leather balm with a dry cloth and apply eavenly. Leave over night and wipe away any excess.
We recommend to avoid heavy carrying in order for the product to keep its natural shape.
To protect the natural rattan, we recommend keeping sharp objects, such as keys, in a case or pouch.
We offer a selection of leather balm and caring kit, please contact the store for more information and purchase.
We welcome the need for any specific recommendations and questions to email@example.com

Today's News: Our Take - Glee Sneak Peek: Blaine and Kurt Heat Up the Ice for "White Christmas" Duet
Ever since they broke up earlier this season, Glee fans have been dreaming of a Klaine reunion.
But in this sneak peek from Glee's Christmas episode, airing Thursday at 9/8c on Fox, the two former lovebirds are dreaming of a white Christmas when they reunite to perform a duet of the classic holiday tune.

It's unclear from the ice skate rink-set performance exactly where Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine (Darren Criss) stand romantically, but it's nice to hear them singing together again, especially in a Christmas-themed episode. Their 2010 duet of "Baby It's Cold Outside" has been on our Christmas playlist every year since.

Remember this song, dudes? If so you're both aging and a dork.
I owned the whole album, on cassette for added coolness.
Anyway dudes, first I want to let you know that I won't be posting stuff on this blog tomorrow (Friday).
Because I'm heading down to Washington, DC:
To say a few words and sign copies of my new book, "Bike Snob Abeard:"
please come to BicycleSPACE on Saturday, April 20th, at 6:00pm:
--Foppish finery from Brooks!
--Blather from me!
--Gin, which will exude from your pores the following morning!
--Music from Sligo Creek Stompers, pioneers of a new musical genre called "Straight-Edge Death Klezmer!"
I hope to see you there, and if not I'll see you back here on this blog on Monday, April 22nd, still reeking of gin.
Speaking of Brooks, you may notice they have an ad over there in the right-hand margin, and you may also notice from that ad that they're inviting 100 riders to test their new "Cambium" saddle, which is 100% cow-free:
Here's more information in case you're too lazy or ornery to click on the ad:
The Cambium is made from a uniquely flexible natural rubber and organic cotton top, enhanced by a thin layer of structural textile for added resilience. This waterproof top, which follows the rider's movements, is immediately comfortable, maintenance-free, and highly abrasion-resistant to offer the longevity for which Brooks is legendary.
Working up to the 17th June release, Brooks is selecting a diverse group of 100 individuals worldwide to be the first to try this revolutionary new saddle. Those selected are invited to try the saddle for a few months and share their feedback, which will be published on the Cambium website.
The individuals selected will include men and women of differing body type and age, using a variety of bicycles, and importantly:
-33 will be long-time users of Brooks Leather Saddles.
-33 will be cyclists who have used both Brooks Leather Saddles and other saddles.
-34 will be cyclists who have never used a Brooks Leather Saddle.
Individuals who wish to register for consideration to be the first to try the Cambium may do so before 17th May at www.brooksengland.com/cambium.
All registrants will receive a 10% discount to the Brooks online shop.
Just be sure to also submit a plaster cast of your scranus so Brooks can make sure they have all those differing body types covered.
As a Brooks convert I'm genuinely intrigued by this saddle, though I do have two (2) reservations, those being:
1) How do I know that the cow who was spared will use his reprieve responsibly and become a useful member of society? What if he just stands around scarfing hay, chewing his cud, and releasing more methane into the atmosphere for the rest of his life?
2) There had better be something to chamfer on this thing, or else Eric "The Chamferer" Murray is not going to be happy and someone's gonna get cut.
In other news of bicycle componentry, a reader informs me that Porsche (or "Porch," or "Porche," as it is variously spelled in the announcement) is recalling its $11,250 hybrid:
Anyway, as I turned to go back down and stuffed copies of "Hustler" down my jersey to block the wind, I noticed an SUV full of doofuses in knee pads and full-face helments preparing to descend the hill on longboards:
This raised a number of questions for me, such as:
--Will they attain Fred "Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" speed despite the lack of hydrolic breaks or indeed any brakes at all?
--Is Roller-Doofus "Woo-hoo-hoo!" speed different from Fred "Woo-hoo-hoo!" speed?
--With all that Fred traffic on the hill, some of whom zig-zag in a state of anaerobic delirium as they approach the top, how long before one of these Roller-doofuses collides head-on with one of the Freds and they all go flying into the Hudson?
I don't know the answer to any of these, but despite my lack of hydrolic breaks I descended very quickly, mostly because I was afraid of getting hit by a longboarder.
With that I shall bid you a-doo. Hopefully I will see some of you in our notion's capitol this weekend, but in any event I look forward to returning on Monday the 22nd with regular updates.

A break in the heavy rain Saturday may have helped the ground absorb some of the water left after Friday"s downpours, but forecasters said the next big storm moving through today will linger over the Bay Area.
Christine Riley, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said the storm was going to move into the North Bay just before midnight Saturday. "It will linger there for six to eight hours, then start to move slowly southward," she said.
The East Bay and South Bay was forecast to get between an inch and a half to two inches of rain during the heaviest portion of the storm, through about noon today, Riley said. Strong winds were expected to accompany the storm, she said.
Officials in the North Bay were keeping a close eye on the Napa River near Napa and St. Helena. The weather service issued a flash flood warning early Saturday. The North Bay was especially hard-hit Friday, with 24-hour rainfall totals of up to 8 inches in some locations.
The Napa River was expected to flood around noon today, while the Russian River was expected to flood near Guerneville early Monday morning, the weather service said.
The Napa River overwhelmed downtown Napa in 2005, flooding or destroying about 1,000 homes and forcing thousands of residents to leave the area.
The rest of the Bay Area remained under an urban flood and small stream advisory, meaning that creeks and low-lying areas could experience minor flooding through Monday morning.
Forecasters also issued flood warnings for the Truckee River near Lake Tahoe and the Susan River in Lassen County, as well as the Eel, Navarro and Van Duzen rivers in far Northern California.
Showers will linger through the rest of today before giving way to mostly dry skies by Monday, the weather service said.
PG&E crews were out again Saturday, repairing downed lines and restoring service. Hundreds of customers in the East Bay, South Bay and Peninsula lost power during the morning rains, PG&E spokesman J.D. Guidi said.
The stormy weather may have been behind a crash that involved several cars on Interstate 280 outside of San Francisco on Saturday morning, as well as the death of a Pacific Gas & Electric worker in West Sacramento who was killed after his truck crashed into a traffic signal pole during the stormy weather Friday.
With the ground saturated with water, increasing the possibility of trees and branches falling onto roadways, and the roads expected to be slick, the California Highway Patrol urged drivers to be extra cautious.
Officials were also warning people to be careful along beaches.
A high surf advisory was issued by the weather service, with swells expected to be 14 to 16 feet along the Northern California coast.

This is a vintage Avon signed large super sparkly rhinestone and dangles peacock brooch that was given as a hostess gift at AVON home parties. It has a gunmetal setting which really shows off the teal, rose, sapphire blue, and purple rhinestones. The head is crowned with three large purple teardrop rhinestones and the beak is a golden resin navette. The feathers are a gorgeous combination of blue, teal, and rose rhinestones. The long tail is four chain dangles of lucite, resin, and glass crystals and beads. The peacock is perched on branches which end with rose rhinestones of which one is a dangle. The brooch with the tail measures 7" x 2 1/2" and the pinback is straight and works smoothly and securely. It is marked AVON on the back and SP code to track where it was made. It is a book piece on page 156 "Costume Jewelry" by Judith Miller. The brooch is in excellent condition.

The wording/text and
background colors of most of our cards can be
changed to fit your needs.
We'll work with
you to make sure
announcement is exactly the way you want it.
Minimum order:
Minimum order amount is
Paper type: Our flat
photocards are printed at a professional lab on high quality photo paper
with a lustre (matte) finish (Glossy finish is available upon request,
but please keep in mind that the Glossy finish will fingerprint easily).
Envelopes: White
envelopes are included.
Processing Time:
We will email you a sample proof within
1-2 business days of receiving your order. Unlimited edits of your design
are included in the cost, but please keep in mind that each edit can
take up to 24 hours. Once you approve the final design, your order will be sent
to the printers and will ship out to you within 3-4 business days.
Please understand that there may be an additional business day added to
our processing time during the holiday season.
Shipping: We ship via
USPS Priority Mail (usually 2-3 day delivery).
Photo Submission:
Please email your photo(s) to us at
email@example.com. Please include your name in
the e-mail message. If you are ordering a card with more than one photo
please indicate the order in which you would like the photos to be
placed, unless you would like to leave it up to our discretion. Photo
should be submitted as a JPEG with the best resolution possible (we
recommend using images that are at least 600x900 in pixel dimension).
The larger the photo file, the better the print quality. So if possible,
please submit original, high-resolution, full color, unedited images. We
can crop them for you, change them to black & white or sepia, as well as
take care of any red-eye or minor skin imperfections. ***If submitting
your photos from a hotmail email account, please send them as "file
attachments" and not as "photo attachments" (otherwise hotmail shrinks
the photo files and lowers the resolution).
Shipping Charges:
1-50 announcements = $6.95
51-74 announcements = $8.95
75+ announcements = $10.95
If you have any
other questions, please check out our
FAQ page or contact us at

with us, you are acknowledging that you have read and accept our
Terms Of Use.
