From a post on lifehacker, about
How to Deal with Distractions in a Web Worker's World,comes this fantastic cartoon (which came my way via @expertsleepers).
I need to give this to all my MA students who are wading through writing their dissertations right now.
And have it printed out big on my office wall.

Posted: July 27th, 2010 | Author: Melissa | Filed under: Humanities Computing, digital humanities, eresearch | Tags: digital humanities, Humanities Computing | Comments Off My 6 monthly royalty statement came in from OUP for Image to Interpretation today. A cheque enclosed! for the princely sum of £10.23!... but what is interesting about this is that most of the revenue was my (tiny) cut of the proceeds made from selling access to digital versions of the book. Ten times more ebooks sold than hardbacks in the same period. Admittedly, this is not a sample that you can statistically extrapolate findings about the whole of the book industry from - but its just worth saying that I'm glad I ticked the "can we make this book available in digital form?" box when signing all the paperwork a couple of years ago.

Posted: July 27th, 2010 | Author: Melissa | Filed under: Humanities Computing, digital humanities, eresearch | Tags: digital humanities, Humanities Computing | Comments Off I said in the post below that I would post more details about the Decoding Digital Humanities reading group who will be meeting in Melbourne, Australia, on thurs 29th July, at the Prince Alfred Hotel, 191 Grattan Street, 5.30- 7.30pm. More information here.They'll be discussing my plenary at DH2010. Gulp.
Decoding Digital Humanities is an informal gathering for those who are interested in all things digital, providing an opportunity to mingle, share ideas, discuss readings and raise questions surrounding the field of digital humanities. If anyone else feels like setting up a Decoding Digital Humanities group at their own institution (the aim would be to do the same readings each month as the London group, and piling in to the discussions online later) then do get in touch with the organisers of the first group, Claire Ross and Kathryn Piquette, here at UCLDH.
