## u:access at the University of Vienna
|
|
|
|
People with an account at the university of Vienna can use u:access to download papers from certain subscription only scientific journals. This can be done by looking for a given paper via u:find, or by directly using the u:access proxy. This is easily done by modifying the URL of the page of the paper: replace `.` by `-` in the domain part, and append `.uaccess.univie.ac.at`, still to the domain part. For example
|
|
|
|
greedy.journal.com/paper-123.456
|
|
|
|
becomes
|
|
|
|
greedy-journal-com.uaccess.univie.ac.at/paper-123.456
|
|
|
|
Once connected, you are redirected to the same page, but this time your are "logged in". If the university has a subscription for this journal, you can download the paper.
|
|
|
|
This is relatively easy but a bit tedious, so one can use this <a href='javascript:(function(){var u = String(window.location); var parts = u.split("/"); parts[2] = parts[2].replace(/\./g, "-") + ".uaccess.univie.ac.at"; window.location = parts.join("/");})()'>u:access</a> bookmarklet. Just drag it to your bookmarks bar and click on it when you are on the paper's page. The redirection should happen automatically.
|
|
|
|
Without u:access, one can still try the [unpaywall](https://unpaywall.org/) database and its Firefox extension.

## The web page
|
|
|
|
For those who are interested, this page is built with [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/). The code is [online](https://gitea.oknaj.eu/gjankowiak/homepage) and is available via git.

## Make Terrence Tao's blog more readable
|
|
|
|
Currently (early 2014), Terrence Tao's blog use smallish fonts, and rasterized .pngs for math display. I also find it a bit cluttered and
|
|
making more difficult to read than it should be. To remedy that, I've written a [small bit](https://gist.github.com/gjankowiak/9692034) of CSS to use with [Stylish](https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/stylish/), along with [some Javascript](https://gist.github.com/gjankowiak/9692040) that will turn the LaTeX images into nice, selectable formulæ using [MathJax](http://www.mathjax.org/). You will need [GreaseMonkey](https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/) or similar to use it.
