It's coming together, but slowly; it's also throwing up all sorts of issues with TEI <biblStruct> that need addressing, which is fortuitous because I'm on a little ad-hoc committee addressing them...

Prepped and formatted my presentation for TRUTH in April.

I'm reworking my TEI presentation for April as I put it into presentation format, and also in the light of discussions we're having on biblio markup at the moment. Spent an hour or so on it today.

Did some minor edits to the DH2010 proposal and uploaded an ODF version to ConfTool (deadline is tomorrow, so I've been procrastinating).

AWB asked me to present on the diversity of Digital Humanities and how technologies in academia are affecting even those with no specific research interest in Digital Humanities. Presentation is at http://hcmc.uvic.ca/presentations/engl500. Prepared over course of week from outline I did around Christmas and then presented 1 hour on Friday afternoon. Their questions were largely on Web 2.0 technologies, intellectual property rights and academic recognition for projects that are collaboratively produced and dynamic.
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.

Outlined my micro-talk for next month.

Met with two candidates for the Renaissance position in the English department. Talked about services HCMC offers, their specific research interests and what kind of projects we could jointly do: database of Shakespearean performance, parsing MathML.

I have to give a presentation on <biblStruct> and bibliographical markup at the TEI Council meeting in Dublin in April. Since I've been thinking about this a lot recently, I decided to get the basic prep done now while it's fresh in my mind. I've mapped out the presentation and written detailed notes. I'll turn it into an actual presentation later.
