I checked “Guide to the Australian House Museum” (1984-1992) by Frank Campbell, but don’t see any Manning’s #prefabs in it. Not sure what the museum is doing now. #historyAU #ausglam (ping @warpedtime)

I'm working on enabling the #DigiPres parts of our org by making some of the #COPTR Tool Grid apps available securely in a managed #Windows environment - first cab off the rank is a #Java app with bundled #JRE, which won't play well with our env 😕

does anyone have experience using #maven & #jpackage as part of a build pipeline to create OS-native installers? my short-term target is a Windows MSI, but once that's in place the same pipeline should be able to spit out native installers for macOS (which we also use) & Linux (which we don't - yet 😈)

I'm at the point where I'm about to clone the repo & start tinkering 😫 but would much rather re-use something already built than figure it out from docs & example code...

#boost4reach pls 🙏

Over the last ~2 years, I've been collecting library cards around the Greater Melbourne Area (in Australia, obviously), and for some reason I decided to post about it.

This project started out of a necessity of public library services around my then-university, then one thing became another, I now have 22 cards.

I decided to call it "Readconquista" after a friend's joke, and it made sense for this project.

Good evening  ! In tonight's edition of #ConnectionList (thx @mattcen for the tip around CamelCaps for screenreaders, you're an awesome #a11y) #connection #introduction, I'd like you to meet:

@jarich is amazing - they are a #programmer #dev and one of the most resilient people I know. Always kinds, gentle and thoughtful 🇦🇺

@mabyes is into #geosciences and #ML for #hydrology. They (not assuming pronouns) are new to #Mastodon, say hello! 👋

@ko is an import from 🇸🇪 - and I suspect they (don't want to assume pronouns) like #fika as much as @forslund :-) KO is into #bikes #boats #photography and #music 👋

@alisoncroggon is a #poet #novelist #critic and #writer 🇺🇸

@onsman is also a #writer, a #technical writer who works in the #web #webdev and #digital #a11y space 🇦🇺

@raena is incredible - she's a #drupalista and a #knitter and I once went on a #yarn crawl with her in Melbs and it was heaps fun! 🧶

@JubalBarca is a #historian and #digitalhumanities Scholar, doing a #Phd on medieval Georgian #prosopography. I had to look up what that is - it's the study of individuals in a particular context. Thanks for enlightening me!

@missemilielib is an #academic #librarian at Swinburne, and they (not assuming pronouns) manage the Swinburne #research bank. Into #openaccess #scholarlycomms #GLAM #ausglam

That's all for now - share your own #ConnectionList ❤️

Sharing what has come my way this week.

@mediaarchaeologylab is asking beautiful questions about how we think historical ephemera as we navigate a tricky future.

Following #ausglam folks took me from @hugh to @samwilson and on to https://newcardigan.org which has the tagline "making GLAM workers more awesome". What more reason do you need? And now I've added a column for #3goodthings to my desktop.
