Zach Butler has just posted an instructive overview of @davidaflood.com's Apatosaurus app for working with a digital textual apparatus. He even mentioned my open-cbgm software, and it sounds like he's planning to post more about that next! Check out his post below, and keep an eye out for more!

We (wife and other kids) agreed to play a bit of DnD with my son; he wanted to GM, but none of us had played before.
My character's commitment to pacifism kinda threw a wrench into the plans.

I've been using this _super_ simple queue and task consumer for my Django projects for two years and I've finally written a README for it so people other than myself can make sense of it. Now that it has a little test suite I think it's fine to make it public github.com/d-flood/peas...

One of my personal project papyrus46.com is online. It brings together a complete set of the latest digital images and the transcriptions I produced for my doctoral thesis. You can also add images and transcriptions from Kenyon's ed. pr. for comparison. It also contains an extensive bibliography.

With the fracturing of my Biblical studies and digital humanities social media communities, I've forgotten about Bsky (I like browsing Mastedon with the Phanpy client more and more lately). So here is my obligatory conference attendance post:
I really enjoyed the #iiif annual conference.

I've been working with the Arts and Humanities Research Computing team and Harvard University since June. This week I will visit campus for the first time, including a tour of Houghton library's rare book collection! They have a few NT manuscripts I wouldn't mind seeing....

I did it. My SBL presentation will be accompanied by a web page instead of slides. I could run my talk with my phone (I went ahead and made it mobile friendly too)
I think I'm going to use HTML/CSS/JS for my SBL presentation instead of slides

Yikes, SBL is coming way too fast. Since there isn't a scheduled NTTC dinner this year, I hope we still find a way to get together!

Reading through my PhD thesis, I'm reminded of this relatable spelling error in a manuscript:
ἐξαπατάτω ] εξαπατατατω
Which I note is similar to the struggle some experience when spelling "banana" out loud—unless you imagine Gwen Stefani saying it, then you're never wrong.

Bulk find/replace is so dangerous to run on a 100k word document... Just found "7-eighth" in my *submitted* thesis

I wish I could start thinking about SBL (I'm presenting after all!) but my viva is next week. So, until then, I don't even know what SBL is.

I've been attending a Research Software Engineering conference in Chicago, and I only have humanities academic conferences with which to compare it.
One of many observations is that there is a lot of money for STEM flying around; not just from governments, but private grants are huge as well.
