  1. MacOS 10.12 silently changed 3-letter month names in AU location to 3-letter-plus-period. Screws with Lightroom catalog + scripts!

  2. Still, after B’s death, Hobhouse (later Baron Broughton) showed more concern for his own “fame” than Byron’s legacy.

  3. MSBasic-80 Turbo Pascal Hypertalk ThinkC Oberon Perl R

  4. Light brown silk pelisse worn by Lady Byron (Arabella Millbanke) on her wedding day in 1815

  5. “He held the bowl aloft and intoned: Introibo ad altare Dei…”

  6. Why does insist on showing me this totally *useless* crap every time I search for something on iOS?

  7. Ok… Canto XI of Don Juan in the can, at last. Juan moves quickly into Regency Society, London, early 1790s. Byron whets his knife and grins…

  8. Agree! “Apple has idiotically disabled AppleScript’s ability to control JavaScript by default in Safari”:::

  9. Puzzling. In Byron's works, conversations, letters, diaries I find no mention of Beethoven; modern genius, political ally, contemporary.

  10. In Don Juan XI, B mocks the reactionary “Holy Alliance” of the victors at Waterloo as a “Belle Alliance of dunces"

  15. Byron's exile April 1816 - April 1824: 8 years of prodigious output incl. the greatest satire in english language

  16. Romney, The infant attended by Nature and the Passions, 1791-92, from the craze generated by Garrick

  17. Peter Cochran's Byron texts are indispensable for scholars, performers

  18. It's Blake's London, not Wordsworth's. A coal-smoke canopy, St Pauls 'great dun' coupola like a dunces' cap, a forest of masts on the river.

  19. Seven years later (“usual term of transportation”) Byron in Genoa imagines Don Juan’s first view of London (c. 1791) in Canto X.
