# Summary of IRC Log from January 7, 2014

The IRC log from the #hplusroadmap channel on January 7, 2014 contained minimal substantive discussion, but did include:

* User kyknos_ shared several scientific papers related to medical research, including one about respiratory medicine and another about veterinary clinical science.

* There was a brief discussion about "Headspace technology" with a user asking about glassware for creating a vacuum to allow continuous liquid flow.

* A discussion occurred about paperbot (a tool that retrieves scientific papers) being broken, with kanzure encouraging programmers to fix it rather than complain, noting the source code is available at git://diyhpl.us/paperbot.git.

* Users demonstrated that paperbot was returning HTML tags or empty text files instead of actual paper content for several scientific URLs.

* A user shared a GitHub project called "tapestry" that tracks software developers in Nashville and their employment history, described as "wannabe kanzure stalking with graphs."

* The conversation revealed ongoing maintenance issues with open source tools used by the transhumanist community, with debate about responsibility for fixing shared resources.
