I love the fact that the reaction of primary-school-aged Glasgow weans, faced with the news that there was a terrifying bogle haunting the cemetery, was "let's tool up and go completely Buffy on him".

Interesting that academia.edu have quietly altered their new terms (without changing the date of update - thank you Wayback Machine!). Presumably the social media hubbub meant they recognised they'd over-reached but it's not a good look. My account remains deleted ...

Wishing good cheer and good health to the #confinedcocktails crew. Spent the day painting the kitchen. Tired and broken. On the good stuff to celebrate a day well spent.

Very cheap Chianti, but cheers to the #confinecocktails crew.

This criticism predates AI. It’s the same problem. Same critique. Same political outcomes. We’re talking about AI because AI is being used to speed up the deployment of bigger energy hogs. So, again, ecologically the difference is today is today. thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-staggeri...

Early morning with the #dpc Australasia and Asia Pacific Sub-Committee. Now working on a proposal for a small #digitalpreservation Research and Development Fund. An exciting departure but will need a lot of consultation and planning... #digipres

Common mistake among less digitally literate managers: mistaking back up for good information management. Having a reliable second copy of files and data barely meets needs for good digital preservation, let alone vibrant information management.

#Greedy. I finished this before I remembered to take a picture. But here's to the clear bold vertiginous view. The breathless, extraordinary euphoria of a summit finally reached. The desperate worry for knees on the way down. #confinedcocktails no longer confined.
