I'm around - preparing for this afternoon's lab. I'll be at the ENGL reception from 2 to 4, tho; come by! \(PS: 5 yrs already?\)
Replying to @GeorgeOnline and @jeremydouglass
was a student of mine back in the day! Bum didn't show up for the ENGL reception, though. Hmph.
RT @kakennedy @briancroxall @amandafrench: hate it you cant access twitter conversations > than 4 months old. Id SO pay for archives. [+me]
Replying to @briancroxall
Congrats! Knock 'em dead.
Replying to @loganpoppy
Oh, hey: I've already got Twitter hooked to FriendFeed. I'm not hooking it to FB, though; too much noise there already.
Replying to @mamamusings
Just now catching up on the stream - sending you all the good thoughts I can, and good wishes for G. Take care!

Replying to @amandafrench and @mattkirschenbaum
Thanks to both of you!
Replying to @therefore
Thanks so much...
Replying to @xina and @plragde
Thanks for the notes - I really appreciate it.
Replying to @mamamusings
Jaysus, Liz - this is not your week! Working on sending you better vibes...
Replying to @mlmcgill
I *so* wish I were going to be there but am thrilled to be included! \(PS: working CP draft of article at http://bit\.ly/43Rgn\)
Replying to @j_l_r
congratulations!

I don't fall in that timeframe \(ahem\), but I did walk - seemed the only opportunity I'd have to be on stage at Carnegie Hall!
Making plane reservations: two trips to DC in the month of June. Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

Replying to @d_kompare
Indeed. I'm happy not to be dealing with the hassle, sorry for the hassled... but amused at the images the whole thing conjures.
Replying to @brettbobley
That's better medical care than most of us get at home!
Replying to @loganpoppy
Hmm. Wonder what that's all about - looks like all the URLs have changed. Not good.
Replying to @halavais
Heh. My school's portal team only tested on IE for Windows until somebody \(ahem\) pointed out that 40% of faculty were Mac users.
Which does not even begin to take account of \(a\) the students, who are heavier Mac users, and \(b\) the insanity of promoting use of IE...
Replying to @veek
Somehow I suspect not!

Started update to 10.5.7 approx 30 min ago \(post download\). iMac has been restarting for about 20. Many variations on blue screen...
Trying really hard to be patient & not jump for the power switch.
40 min was enough. Went the hard reboot route. From what I can tell from the web, I'm not alone. Still restarting, but past the blue screen.
Whew. Repairing disk permissions. All appears to be well.
Replying to @kwerb
yup. I had to download the package from the website, and even then it was a mess installing.
Holy crap - SCMS now cancelled.

Heh: Bobbie Gentry, Ode to Billy Joe. I'll take that, but do NOT attempt to figure out how old I am.
Really really wishing there were some way to block #lost related posts until I get a chance to watch it tonight...
Replying to @briancroxall
Congratulations to you, mom, and the player yet to be named!
Replying to @MissLadyB
Alas, not so much with the good news: I think that article is from last year, pre-Prop 8. LA Times fail.
Two of three commencement speakers were newspaper columnists; both took potshots at the Internet. Coincidence?
In IAH, on my way back to Boston. Really really wish I'd had a day to recuperate, post-graduation. But -- onward!
Replying to @j_l_r
You completely rock - congratulations! It'll be nice to have you in California.
New blog post: The Future of Everything http://bit.ly/6UR4r
Jason Mittell: given state of video in 1999, it's naive to think we can guess what it'll look like in 2019. #acfoe
Mittell: a few guesses, though. Video industry stops selling plastic in boxes; more battles over DRM/DMCA. #acfoe
Mittell: one prescriptive claim for future - video literacy across the curriculum, not just read-only, but read-write. #acfoe
Mittell: video/audio must become searchable, annotatable. #acfoe
Replying to @michaeldroy
Astral projection? #acfoe
Chuck Henry's presentation on the future of research perfectly sets up my presentation this afternoon on the future of peer review. #acfoe
Replying to @xina
Did somebody say drink?
Can't read that URL for NSF task force report; can somebody tweet? #acfoe
Replying to @thfondak
Thank you!
Problem with moving to pay-per-view access is the paying part - access is fine as long as it's available, but what if costs escalate? #acfoe
Replying to @loganpoppy
one suggestion that's been made is a sort of pay to play: earn the right to publish by reviewing #acfoe
Replying to @loganpoppy
We have a significant crisis \(if a few more presses close\) & a significant opportunity \(look what cool stuff can be done\) #afcoe
Replying to @loganpoppy
The trick is communicating that - and getting "names" on board... #afcoe
Replying to @jmittell
Hear, hear! Thanks, @michaeldroy!
Waiting for the train to Boston. From the Future of Everything to the ALA, or the Past of At Least Some Stuff.
Replying to @loganpoppy
I thought my ears were burning!
Replying to @GeorgeOnline
That's your campus's configuration; mine has IMAP enabled, so I use Apple Mail from home.
RT @mkgold @cunycommons CUNY Academic Commons releases WPMu/MediaWiki Single Sign-on: http://is.gd/C9i9 - will transform my teaching sites!
Replying to @moncia
Saw that - very exciting!
What I want: a WP footnote plugin that pops up a small CSS layer window on mouseover. Surely that exists?

I'm at a conference in what used to be my field. And am surprised by the vehemence of my "used to be." This is not my field anymore, at all.
The good news is that I'm taking advantage of a lovely hotel room to get a jump start on my summer's work.
Replying to @kfitz
Hey, that's very sneaky there, @dancohen: a little inobtrusive . gets you around the blocked @reply issue. Nice!
Replying to @kfitz
.@mattbucher Thanks for that. I really needed it! \(RT: Wow, this just brightened my day a ton: http://bit\.ly/CXpWm\)

Logan's a nice airport, but it has *the* most humorless airport personnel. Everybody here is cranky. Holiday weekend? Or do we need a nap?
Favorite uncle had 8 operations in 3 months trying to save his leg. It's failed; they're amputating. Now it's in the other leg. #fuckinghell
Replying to @xina and @noradio
Thanks so much for the thoughts. It just sucks.
Come on, California: don't let me down.
Shit.
RT @bighandsome: Other things upheld today? My middle finger, being waved in the direction of the state supreme court.
Replying to @d_kompare
Hell, yes; I'd absolutely support that.
Replying to @loganpoppy
Not that we only go to places that allow freedom to marry, but that we do not support those that have explicitly disallowed it.
Replying to @GeorgeOnline
I'm a big fan of Coda, made by the folks who make Transmit \(so Transmit is built in\)...
Replying to @amandafrench
I refuse to use "outcomes" & instead use "goals." Goals I can have. Outcomes sounds like ve have vays of mekking you learn.
Replying to @amandafrench
Ergh. I can see the usefulness, I guess, but part of me worries that outcomes are something I can't promise. Objectives, yes.
.@GeorgeOnline: Panic holding a 3 day sale: 50% off Coda, Transmit https://www.panic.com/sale/ \(via @clioweb\)
Replying to @loganpoppy
Yeah, I do, both Coda and Transmit. Like them both a lot.

If you've recently updated the firmware of your Airport to 7.4.1, that could be the culprit: http://bit.ly/zslqc
Has anyone successfully migrated from Bookends 10 to Zotero? Found this http://bit.ly/lfsKx but seems to be based on 9 - can't make it work.
Never mind -- I think I may have sorted something out. May have a lot of cleaning up to do, but at least the data's out.
Replying to @kfitz
.@sivavaid Salt. Open wound. Not nice. :)
Sorely tempted to use last of this year's research fund to buy a Wii. Teaching dig media studies without owning a console just feels wrong.
Replying to @mkirschenbaum
Good grief; I've been found out at last! Must go, um, recredentialize.
Okay, decision about Wii pretty much made. Next question: what are the games I should absolutely not be without?
Replying to @thfondak
Cool, thanks!
Excellent suggestions, all - thanks!
Replying to @theorymeg
Will do!
Replying to @stoton
They're on the list - thanks!
Replying to @plragde
Kinda makes you think you picked the wrong field...
Amazing how much fun editing 350+ citations imported to Zotero format can be. Feels like productivity, without all that difficult thinking.
Replying to @foundhistory
I'd like to believe that's true; spending a morning correcting bad special characters and tags ought to count for something!
Replying to @nowviskie
Nice that they're thinking about it, but yeah. Vastly better if it indicated that some people *choose* other routes on purpose.
Okay, Wii has been ordered. Now what am I supposed to do with myself until Tuesday? Oh, yeah - work - right.
Replying to @nancybaym
Oh, man - congratulations! I hope that sometime in the next 75 days I'm tweeting the same thing...
Okay, I'm puzzled. @GeorgeOnline just .@replied to someone I don't follow, but even with the . it didn't appear in my stream. What gives?
Found the post when someone I do follow RTd it. Will be sorely annoyed if twitter has undone the . hack...
Replying to @nancybaym
It's on the social & institutional changes that digital scholarly publishing will require of the academy. & it's due Aug 15. Eek!

Well, the good news is it's under contract! The bad news is August 15 August 15 August 15...
Double espresso and a friend's article. Then a student's chapter, a bit of admin, and finally the book. Nobody send me anything else to do.
