Tags (attributes)
I have gotten quite into tagging. Here's my philosophy on this.Some definitions of my public tags. (Notice, how it contains a subdivision into tags that are applicable to bookmarks, blogs, images, etc using yet more tags.)
It also contains pointers to tops of link clusters (overviews and centers)
Some old public tags.
For fun, I've tried to make my delicious tags available in a variety of formats.

Images
I'm an avid photographer and collector of images. I try to make images available in various streams.
Main Flickr Page
This has most of my current photos arranged in various "photostreams" and sets (e.g. photostream #4). Lately, I've gotten quite into keyword- and geo-tagging. You can see examples of the later on my flickr map and also various closeups I've done for trips that I've taken to the West Coast or Europe. Some of my photo keyword tags are carefully documented; others are just in a big list.Other Current Stuff
Picassa page, which has some of new photos as well as nice maps for each set (e.g. see photostream one). A few of the pictures from here get pushed to my Panoramio page, where they, in turn, get linked up with Google map queries.
Some random headshots of myself (including high-dpi ones suitable for printing) and some more unusual selfportraits
Lately, I've taken to incorporating some my pictures into my lectures. I've tried to highlight the images that I put into them in a dump directory of thumbnails and also by the tag kwpotppt on flickr.
A series of Holiday Cards done by uncle over many years.

Older Things
My collecting images has evolved over the years. Here's some earlier stuff.My earlier flickr page from '06 and '07, which doesn't have that much tagging.
Photostream blog, which contains lots of material from '05 to mid '08, rearranged as chronological posts.
Scrapbook Blog, which has random images mostly posted from '05 to '07
Some older bits are in my scrapbook of interesting images: 1997-1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 . (The first link is just a custom html page and latter ones are my simple pre-flickr photo galleries.)
Finally, I've started to put some really old images (from the '70s) into my current flickr site.gerstein.info/x/misc.php
Older and very old versions of this site.
My Amazon wish list .
My .emacs file, which includes elisp code to color alignments. (This is very old and mostly defuct but I like the code and have no where else to put this.)
Collection of random "profile" links about me and my research .
gerstein.info/out/index.php
Outbox Locations
My current outbox is at http://archive.gersteinlab.org/mark/out/log
My earlier outbox was at http://homes.gersteinlab.org/people/mark/outbox
My secondary personal outbox is at http://outbox.gerstein.info
For each outbox, you must type an explicit path to access an individual directory.
For instance, type http://outbox.gerstein.info/test/test.txt to access outbox file test.txt.
Some old outboxes are at http://archive.gersteinlab.org/mark/csb/mbg
Wrong Password or Path
You might be getting here probably because you didn't type in a password correctly or you tried to access a "private" outbox directory. Note that many of my password dialogues do not work correctly mobile devices without javascript. (You need to use firefox or chrome on a desktop.)gerstein.info/contact/index.php
Contact Information
Here's some pointers on how to most efficiently contact me, in both personal and professional contexts. Basically, I prefer email over unscheduled phone calls or paper mail. (I do like scheduled phone calls and meetings, however!) Unfortunately, I am sometimes a bit slow in responding to all the correspondence that I get. In the later case, if it's urgent, I'd try to contact me by using the pleasepagemark email address.
Mark.Gerstein
Yale.edu & markGerstein.info
Yale.edu & markGerstein.infoThese are my normal emails for professional and personal contexts. Some points on using them:
- My spam whitelist obviously does not contain people who are trying to reach me for the first time. Consequently, one problem I increasingly have is that initial contact emails end up in my spam pile. To prevent this, put *cyan* in the subject line of the message. I have my filters set up to try to not flag such messages as spam.
- Some don'ts: It is only necessary to send email to one of the two above addresses as eventually they both go to the same place. Do not use mark
- I tend to refrain from sending highly confidential information (such as passwords and social security numbers) over email. (See more here.)
- For big messages (>1Mb), I prefer if you send a link to a file rather than a huge attachment. If you try sending me a big message and it gets bounced, you might try the Yale ITS transfer service.
pleasepagemarkyahoo.com
yahoo.comIf you need to reach me rapidly try this, send an email to this address putting the *blue* in the subject line of the message. Use this sparingly. It goes to my cell phone (and to my normal email) and creates a buzz. (It's fast but not instantaneous.) It is best to keep the message short and confined to the subject line of the message, viz:
Subject: *blue* -- trying to contact you about sending you check for $10M.
piaagersteinlab.org
gersteinlab.orgThis email goes to me and my assistant. Use this addresses to put in web forms -- e.g. for letters of reference. My assistant does not handle my schedule so write to me directly about appointments.
Phone & Fax
203 432 6105 — You can call my office phone (which sometimes forwards to my cell). Try to make sure your caller ID shows through (with *82 if necessary) as I don't tend to pick up calls missing explicit identification. It is often hard to get me by phone at random times. Furthermore, leaving a voicemail at this number is not that effective. It is more effective in a professional context to go through my assistant (see below).
360 838 7861 — This is my efax number. (Optimum if you email me to give me a heads up that you are sending a fax.)
mark.gerstein — username for skype. (Please do not try to "chat" with me here when not on a call.)
Paper Mail & Physical Location
I much prefer email to paper mail, so this will get a slow response. Here is my correct paper mail address:
Mark Gerstein, PO Box 208114 MBB, Yale University New Haven, CT 06520 USA.
If you want to meet in person (which I do like!), my office location is Bass 432A. (See here for details.) You sometimes need authorization to get in the building after 6 PM. If so, arrange to call me, so I can come down to meet you. Also, please make sure you announce yourself at my office.
I don't post my home address on the web, but if you're interested, it's (unfortunately) fairly trivial to get it from Google and my home phone number (if you know the latter).
