Spent some more time working on my presentation for the TEI session in Dublin. Also downloaded the latest stable S5 codebase (1.1), and set about re-customizing it for HCMC, using Greg's style and graphics. The original setup we've been using was (I think) based on a newer alpha version of S5, and seems to have required a huge amount of customization and extra libraries; that version has never made it to beta in four years, so I think the whole project is stalled. For my needs, I think the original does a slightly better job with resizing.

The Map of Early Modern London has posted a transcription of a poem from Samuel Rowlands' Humors looking glasse (London, 1608). "A straunge sighted Traueller" is a short poem in rhyming couplets that imagines a "Country foole" visiting the sights of London and being robbed by the tour guide he engages. The poem lists the main tourist attractions of early seventeenth-century London.
- Met with MStC about Treswell and London shop/architecture

- Edited, encoded, and posted "London Stone" essay
We need to move Bankside from the Streets index to the Sites index. [Later: We need to add a new Category to the Index for Neighbourhoods -- 26 May 2010. Done -- 25 August 2010.]
Some good news. Leanna has moved on to parsing the 1854 images, and is well under way. I have completed all but two (curses!) 1852 files (places, people, vessels, and page breaks). I should be ready to post 1852 on Monday afternoon. Lastly, Frank has submitted 13 biographies. I will proof and post these once 1852 is complete, just for a brief change of pace.
Looking ahead, I will move on to prep/parse the 1855 images, then see where Leanna is at. Image-prep is a priority now, as we can't do much without the images!
Planning (hoping) to leave early today...
LSPW has finished processing and linking the 1853 images, so all those files have been added into the system (CO 305: 4). Also trimmed out one file which was a dupe (V525HB00, duplicates 01).
