In late -- personal appointment.

PCA has completed abstracts for Jan-Feb 1854. Reviewed them and sent feedback, as well as updating her directed reading report.

To turn on directory indexing, add this to your .htaccess file:

Options +Indexes 

The additional setting for fancy indexing doesn't seem to work on our servers:

IndexOptions +FancyIndexing 

Reworked the document from last August, to change all references to the shared account on web.uvic.ca to a project account on home1t (which involved re-doing all the screenshots). Sent the PDF out to the team.

Checked out the vihistory svn repository at https://revision.tapor.uvic.ca/svn/hcmc/vihistory into a directory on my mac
Copied the files down from the production site (taprhist/vihdev). Next I need to compare the two to make sure that the repository and production site are in sync.

Once that's done, then I can start work on implementing the captcha code from the annotations page into other forms, name the searchcensus one.

Also, the production site has .svn folders in it, which might be the result of using an svn client on that set of folders, or may just be an artefact of ftping files up to the server from another location that was in svn.

Hours creeping up again...

We're now going to be transcribing and checking against the 1914 edition, not the 1899, although most of our 1899 transcriptions will still be useful.

Gave a brief run-through of image linking and uploading to the VPN team; since the image location etc. has changed, I have to rework the original documentation asap (on schedule for Monday). Also discovered that users were not able to log into tapor boxes, so got sysadmin to add them as users (they were already correctly in the vicpoems group). Must test logons early next week, somehow.

Authentication through LDAP stopped working for all our PHP sites, so after RE figured out the problem (pointing at the wrong LDAP server in Mustard) we had to make changes to all the .htaccess files.

I was wondering about xml:id='corinth' and xml:id='ephyra'. In Apollodorus 1.9.3 'event_152' (Sisyphus founds Corinth) occurs. However, in the text it says:

"And Sisyphus, son of Aeolus, founded Ephyra, which is now called Corinth".

The places' descriptions and geographical locations are different. Their latitude and longitude are different, but aren't they the same place?
Also in citations; 'ephyra' is only cited at Apollodorus 2.7.6, when it clearly is mentioned at Apollodorus 1.9.3 as being founded by 'sisyphus'.
I looked up 'ephyra' in the whole text and it does get mentioned again separately, as does 'corinth'; so what must be done?
