After some encouraging conversations following the TEI conference in Paderborn, I readied myself to offer consulting and training for digital humanists and librarians as a side business.
- XML for Digital Humanists (XML, XSLT, ISO Schematron, RELAX NG, TEI ODD)
- Processing and publishing library data (MARC, PICA, MODS, LIDO et al.)
- Building and maintaining XML-based workflows
- Developing custom solutions (modules) for VuFind-based discovery systems
- Salvaging DH projects that are in the danger of going awry
Feel free to get in touch!
Poison Ivy – so cool
I hope she's well. After Lux's death, she lives in absolute seclusion in her private life.
I wish her that she knows how they will be missed ❤️

Hmmm, the northern hemisphere only, actually, no?

The birds are fluffed so much they seem spherical on this cold morning. We are seeing more of them than usual because we have heated (just above freezing) water for them.
Das hier dürft ihr gerne mal rumreichen: eine entfristete Stelle in meiner IT-Abteilung.
Die Besonderheit: wir suchen eine(n) Windows-Admin, der/die offen genug ist, sich mit uns auf eine Reise hin zu einer „open source company“ zu machen. Sprich Stück für Stück Windows-Dienste in Richtung Linux zu migrieren.
Da sollte sich doch hier eine Zielgruppe finden?

After a five-year testing period, I can heartily recommend marrying my husband. I also recommend you don’t try to marry my husband, because I can be quietly vicious when threatened.
Happy anniversary, @ndw !

Have you had that "Upcoming price change for your Microsoft 365 subscription" email yet? They want to charge you an extra 50%ish for AI features, and they do *not* make it easy to find the way to turn it off. It took me minutes of searching - this is a particularly evil dark pattern.
"Switch plan" just lets you pick between annual and monthly billing. You want "Turn off recurring billing" and then "Current subscription without AI".
You're welcome. Please boost for others.

Uhhh, I have a strange request. If you own a bread knife with a flat-sided handle in your kitchen, and calipers or something else that will measure to the nearest millimetre or so, and want something to do for 30 seconds, could you tell me how thick the handle is?
Yes, I'd like to collect some random samples of bread knife handle widths. Doesn't matter what brand, what it looks like, how long the blade is or where in the world you are.
I will explain later. Boosts appreciated.
UPDATE: 1000 Dank fürs Teilen! Es gibt jetzt 1 glücklichen Junghacker mehr.
Ich suche noch ein Ticket für einen Jugendlichen, der sehr gerne mit zum #38C3 möchte, um den Junghacker:innentag zu besuchen. Hat jemand noch eins übrig? Würde es ggf. auch zusammen mit einem Erwachsenenticket abnehmen können. #38C3ticket #38c3tickets
Alpha6. The story of XML Calabash 3.x has some twists and turns, but the last few alphas have passed all the tests and it’s finally possible to start thinking about some of the fun things. #XProc #XMLCalabash
The Bridgy "service" is basically acting as a volunteer advertising arm of a billionaire-backed commercial social network whose business model requires destroying Mastodon. Also this bot will spam you with DMs exhorting you to support their favorite billionaire social network repeatedly if you accidentally say the wrong words or reply to the wrong thing. Their replies are unmonitored. I strongly recommend preemptively blocking @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy

Surprisingly few things eat them. They can live with ants and spiders and rarely get attacked or eaten. I think this is mostly because they are all exoskeleton. There aren't many yummy soft bits and the ants just think they are too much work unless you kill them for the ants AND cut them up.
Investing in a #Fairphone paid off: Just replaced the broken display with a new one. Easy. New display was 70€.
