Mostly a nonsense. Work: dictionaries, linguistics, digital humanities, data stuff. He/him
@fade There are some on Oxford Scholarly Editions Online, albeit behind a paywall. (Disclaimer: I used to work on it.)
Wren WallisI have no idea what's happening anymore, but the farmer presenting about compost just asked whether the kids think bones are compostable, and instead of answering, all 19 kids started chanting, "BONES BONES BONES! BONES BONES BONES!" and dancing.
Imogen WegmanYesterday, while feeling somewhat braindead, I started a public Zotero library of digitised historic map collections.
It's mostly Australian at the moment, and mostly the stuff I am always sending my family history students to, plus a few other places I use regularly for my own research, but I have grand intentions of adding to it over time – I keep a 'resources' folder in my own Zotero after all.
Feel free to shout your thoughts and additions at me here!

Fanny Burney died a year after the solar cell was invented. I worked this out a few days ago and keep having to go back and check because it seems so implausible.

Train stations in the UK each have 3 letter codes. For instance Kings Cross is KGX and Leeds is LDS. What's the best journey you can do in 3 letter codes?

blinryFinally, a solution to the unfairness of authorship ordering in scientific papers! 😂
"Every Author as First Author"
Every Author as First Author
We propose a new standard for writing author names on papers and in bibliographies, which places every author as a first author -- superimposed. This approach enables authors to write papers as true equals, without any advantage given to whoever's name happens to come first alphabetically (for example). We develop the technology for implementing this standard in LaTeX, BibTeX, and HTML; show several examples; and discuss further advantages.
