Today I learnt (with difficulty) how much CRLF line endings mess up the multiline 'm' flag on RegExps.

This is how to do residential car access!

Replying to @carlafrancome
Here, in Germany, residential streets where kids can play don't have pavements, the whole road is the pavement. Pedestrians have priority, max speed walking pace.

14 311 artifacts in the cdli database are seals:
either physical seals in collections
or composite seals that represent artifacts that must have existed since they have been used to seal tablets in the past but have not been found to this day, were destroyed, or recarved.

Yes. A quick and straightforward action. It is now over 6 months since Dr Felce was killed on the Plain and nothing has happened. Still waiting to see plans😞

The speed with which my institution stepped in to tell me to stop tweeting once the right attacked was amazing, especially given how slowly and methodically everything else moves.

This is what it takes to convert
data from the old to the new model: gitlab.com/cdli/framework Last data integrity checks and will hopefully update both the database and the code base today. An email will circulate when the update is done!:-)

OCC also says filters will “make cycling more convenient and safer”. But of the five recent tragic cyclist road deaths (Ling Felce, Samantha Blackborow, Claudia Comberti, Ellen Moilanen, Jennifer Wong), 4 were collisions with HGVs and one with a bus, all of which will be exempt.

If in US, you can donate for relief for flood victims in Pakistan via @Edhiorg edhina.org It is the best on-the-ground organization. You can choose Relief Fund 2022 from the options.

Stories like this embolden me to do all I can to promote the open access of metadata, text, and images of artifacts inscribed with cuneiform

The old worldcat.org showed you every library that had a book, sorted by distance from you, with clickable links into each catalog's item view.

Editing , especially political subjects, is harder than I thought. I feel like I'm treading on eggshells. Hope I did my part in cleaning up some (not-so-)subtle dog-whistles though.

The serious point here is that this underpass has been closed for about six weeks. There is no diversion or signage for cyclists and pedestrians, and it's a long way to find another safe route. Not good enough

In one year, 50 more collections and 50 more proveniences were added into the @cdlinews database. How many of those do you think were actual legitimate unique new places? I am SO glad this is the last conversion of data to the new framework where we are using controlled vocabs!😸

A twitter user claimed today that his "Mycenaean Atlas" is a replacement for the #PleiadesGazetteer. This is untrue. The Pleiades gazetteer remains an active project, with many contributors and near daily updates to our open-access content.

The image shows a screenshot of a section of a web page where a button "Export Collections" was clicked and displays a menu with the text "Download the list of Collections in text format to your computer" then a list of links to files of the same data but in other formats.

#Accessibility isn't just about legible fonts and recognizable links, it's also about the level of language you chose to communicate with. If you can't understand the bottom part, you probably won't need those files anyways!

Please RT if you agree that we're going around in circles and *enforcement* is a big part of the answer. No more excuses, close the loopholes, dissuade irresponsible #antisocialparking with powerful consequences. #pavementsareforpeople

I'm so jealous of the neat transit system by the Puget Sound o the West Coast, 2$ to go from Bellingham to Burlington!
Exercises of the #Uppsala #DigitalAssyriology Summer School are nearly finished! Now for the lectures and uploading the reading.
I'm getting more and more excited!

Broad Street is go! has rubber-stamped the 18-month trial for removing parking and (semi-)pedestrianising the road. Council leader Liz Leffman, standing in for at today’s meeting, has given the go-ahead: “I’m delighted we’re moving forward with this.”
Quote Tweet
Plans to semi-pedestrianise Broad Street could be adopted by @OxfordshireCC tomorrow. The scheme would see two Broad Meadow-like public spaces, pay-and-display parking removed, more bike parking, and a loading ban: “less like a highway, more like a place for people”.

My friend was shouted at by someone who doesn’t agree with the LTNs - for _watering the flowers_ (!) in her local LTN planter. Get a grip, Oxford antis. Your rage is pathetic.
