Started using a great new note taking app. It's called "Stickies" on macOS. Works really well for my needs.
Huh. In JavaScript:
~~'' and !!'' evaluate to 0 and false respectively
~~[] and !![] evaluate to 0 and true respectively.
Today's grump: I'm sick of corporations saying they're "excited" about things.
It means absolutely nothing.
Does it bother anyone else when someone uses "well-versed" when referring to themselves?
Correct: they're taking a well earned break.

I wonder who the first person to commute by car was.
Tim SherrattI've added another 15 entries to my list of publications that mention the #GLAMWorkbench or one of its related tools (such as the #Trove Newspaper Harvester). That makes an even 100 references from around the world. https://glam-workbench.net/citations/ #GLAM #collectionsAsData #researchImpact

Trove API users beware! I had a meeting with the NLA on Friday about my cancelled API keys and was shocked by changes in their policy towards API use that could have a big impact of HASS research using #Trove data.

Trove API users beware! – the latest in the saga of my cancelled API keys
After my Trove API keys were cancelled without warning on 21 February, I reluctantly agreed to a meeting with the National Library of Australia. They had provided so little information in their emails, that it seemed to be the only way to find out what was really going on. I came out of the meeting shocked by the NLA’s change in attitude towards API use. TL;DR – you’re probably breaching the API terms of use All Trove API users need to be aware that the NLA now insists that accessing the ‘content’ of resources, rather than just the descriptive metadata, is a breach of the API terms of use.
Help! On Friday the National Library of Australia suspended my Trove API keys, threatening 15 year's work helping researchers use & understand Trove. If you use my tools or value my work you might like to let the NLA know.

15 years of work on Trove threatened by the NLA
See my latest post for an update! On Friday, without warning, I received an email from the National Library of Australia informing me that my Trove API keys had been suspended. This threatens the future of 15 years of work helping people use and understand the possibilities of Trove for new types of research. What’s happened? Here’s the full text of the email: Your recently published work on the GLAM Workbench regarding extracting metadata and text from a National e-Deposit (NED) periodical has been brought to the Library’s attention.
