Academic

Stuck at home due to a combination of a bad cold and a snow day that shut down the city, I worked through the remaining four reviews assigned to me.

Reviewed another paper.

Reviewed another paper. Had the unfortunate experience of believing the conference tool when it told me that "a ConfTool session is limited to two hours"; after 45 minutes of work, I submitted my review, only to be bounced out to the login screen with the loss of my data. Reported this to the admin email on the site, and then reconstructed my review from memory.

In future I'll write the review in a text editor and save it before trying to submit it.

Me too

We need to flesh out the chapter plan, once we have some feedback from Ana, assigning word-counts to the sections.

Stewart and I worked on a basic outline for the chapter on Hot Potatoes we've been asked to submit for Ana Gimeno-Sans's book on authoring tools:

• Assembled old presentations and old versions of Hot Potatoes for the historical data.

• Wrote an outline in seven major parts.
• Wrote to Ana including the outline, and a paragraph about what we think might be the most interesting aspects, and asking for a ballpark word count requirement.

Reviewed an abstract on spectrographic analysis of hexameter in classical verse.

I'm on the DH2007 program committee and I have seven papers assigned to me for assessment in the next couple of weeks.
