Digital Humanities RSE. Curmudgeon. Interested in digital scholarly editions, TEI, multilingual DH, libraries, digital preservation, ancient stuff and how stuff works in general.
Was able to go for a run for the first time since surgery this morning, so that was good. A gentle two miles. Don’t know if I’ll be able to sustain it through the next few weeks of treatment, but a good sign overall.
Things are better now, though we don’t yet have a handle on exactly what was causing the problem. I really resent that it takes so much work just to keep a free resource online. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Papyri.info is suffering from bot attacks this weekend and will likely be unavailable until we can put more blocking in place. Apologies for the inconvenience but this is the world we live in now.

Robin DeRosaInside Higher Ed featured a short interview with me today, focusing on the recent loss of my tenured faculty position…and the contextual trends that are shaping a sweeping divestment in the public good.
inkThis is unreal. The 2026 code4lib conference has been cancelled unilaterally by Carnegie Mellon University because the Department of Education raised issues with the diversity scholarships (which have been constant for at least a decade, if not longer):
> An applicant must be a member of a group not well-represented within the code4lib community, including but not limited to: women, people of color, LGBTQ+, ability/disability, non-binary gender identities, etc.
