not a problem andy.  i was just confused as to where it came from.
did i send and forget?  quite possible.

for those that are interested, the list andy is refering to is the
public announce list for my art/tech/energy facility in berkeley ca
called the shipyard / all power labs.  or now, "shipyard labs".  you
can join the list here:   announce list:
http://lists.spaceship.com/listinfo.cgi/icp-spaceship.com

the shipyard part focusses on large scale mechanical, kinetic and
electronic arts.  usual bay area art/tech hacking mashup sort of
thing.  the all power labs part is newly started to attempt the same
mash up in the idioms of power generation and conversion.   the main
focus so far is invariably gasification, as gasification is likely the
most hacker accessible and interesting energy tech.  way more fun than
pv and wind.  thus why we are here on the gasification list after all
these years of gasifiers not actually working very well in the actual
world . . .

as for the algae workshop proceedings being available via the web, i'm
not sure what we can do yet.  maybe the runner of the workshop can do
a blog on it.  i'll try to have that happen.  but at the very least
there will be reports on the above list.  as it is off topic i don't
think i should fill this list with algae things (until they are
harvested, pressed, dry and needing final conversion, of course).
