Net Privacy

A brace of 3rd party pages which address interesing issues regarding privacy etc. Not directly relevant to chemistry, but rather of more general interest/implication Firstly, Fast Forward (http://www.privnet.com/) which monitors advertisements and "cookies" and apparently can block them if one wishes. It claims to dramatically decrease download times by blocking "unwanted" graphics. I wonder how it decides? Then there is a fascinating page on how to set cookies using Javascript etc on http://www.illuminatus.com/cookie.fcgi Finally, http://www.marimba.com/ offer Castanet, which allows user-disk resident Java applications to "talk" to their remote originator, and update themselves automatically if a new version appears. Can any of us keep up with the implications of what is now possible? Note by the way that all three are "com" sites! Dr Henry Rzepa, Dept.

Battle of the Chem Lists
by G.P.Moss 01 Nov '96

01 Nov '96

I am not offering to maintain any master list but as I run an organic and biochemical nomenclature list (mainly of full copies of relevant documents) I am happy to expand this to include links to any chemical nomenclature on the Web. There are already links from my home page to some related Web sites.

How about if all the lists were separate - but located on the same server - and each set of lists mirrored to other servers. This would make it easy to set up a search engine for all the lists, and keep the load off just one central server...... Know what I mean??? Tim P.S. I'd be keen to help out.... ----- chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.

Buckyballs on the Net
by Paul Deards 01 Nov '96

01 Nov '96

Following last week's announcement of the Nobel Prize for chemistry for the discovery of fullerenes, we've compiled a guide to buckyball resources on the web. This can be found at "Chemistry Today", http://chemistry.mond.org/ Also, we've developed a guide to chemical job hunting on the web, again at http://chemistry.mond.org/. There's a variety of advice and job sources out there of differing quality, and we've tried to provide a critical review. We intend to make this a living document, in the spirit of the web, and would appreciate any amendments/other sites/comments you may have. Please send your thoughts to jobguide(a)chemind.demon.co.uk Paul Deards Internet Publisher Society of Chemical Industry http://sci.mond.org/ ----- chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.

We could all benefit if we could decide on a central UK academic site to house a comprehensive list of chemistry resources worldwide, with different sections maintained by different people, rather than the poliferation of different lists. To protect against machine/local net failure, mirroring could occur within the UK. I help to maintain WebChemistry, but it is a bit different to the other UK-based lists, in that it is truly international, with international mirroring to compensate for net-lag.

1996 Chemistry Nobel prize ROBERT F. CURL, Jr. , SIR HAROLD W. KROTO , and RICHARD E. SMALLEY for their discovery of fullerenes. There is a Web page with full details, but although I have seen it, I did not note it. Anyone know of where it might be? Dr Henry Rzepa, Dept.
