If it’s an ANU managed mac rsb had an email about issues- which I deleted but I think said it was certificate update issue and to fix it via eduroam

I have run into issues with too many images now being an issue with the pythonanywhere site- although that could be fixed I think. Django is relatively easy to deploy on pythonanywhere although it does depend on the database used I think.

I’m not an expert- so this may not be useful- but as part of my PhD I’m using Django to make my site- the uni deployed it: kuden.fabrics.anu.edu.au, but for testing I used pythonanywhere. Which is free for small sites.

Two of the universities in Canberra Australia put these types of banners in our uni emails automatically- it was really annoying when you were having an email chain conversation with someone from the other uni - it looked like a weird competition.

Hey #StatsSky, what are you favorite papers to cite when you need to justify something that is obvious (I once had a reviewer ask we justify the use of logistic regression on a binary outcome)
or when you need to push-back on silly reviewer requests (e.g., asking for p-values in table 1)?

An honor, a feather. I was invited to Edinburgh to give the UoE Center for Digital Culture & Society 2024 Annual Lecture. Will hector against "best" practices and standards developed in the Atlantic North when those don't align with the Global South. Register here: www.cdcs.ed.ac.uk/events/annua...

@archaeologytube.bsky.social I did an illustration tutorial on my blog a few years ago, that might be useful for you!! 🏺

You asked for it...

sailaufilm.com I’m not sure if it’s streaming yet. I’ve just started Thor Jensen’s book about the voyage- it’s on Kindle Unlimited but the doc featured the 3 Milne Bay sailors and their views were the best.

White staffy chewing a chew toy.

A stressful weekend but -if you get the chance to see the PNG movie/ doco- Sailau- about sailing around PNG- do. hotel Kalifornia - a Vanuatu film was also great. Also if your staffy dog has a lump get it checked as soon as possible- my little demon girl had a mast cell tumor- waiting on the path.

In the movie she does start by saying she is weaving the father’s burial shroud. Thank you for the loom info though- I don’t know much about the period /area but it did look wrong.

They are.

Bright pink, green and purple minerals- pyroxenes, in a dark clay matrix.

Pyroxenes in PPL light, they appear very pale yellow-green, with angular shapes and cleavage lines.

My achievement for the month, getting the microscope camera software working again (or rather getting uni IT to get it working again). I took a photo of a pyroxenic placer temper, from a sherd found in Vanua Levu, to celebrate.

Folks who use #rstats with github, how am I supposed to be managing the data for my project with 100mb file size limit? Am I going about this all wrong?

Spent last week in Adelaide with the Geo Axioscan, capturing more petrographic slides for the kuden database (kudenfabrics.anu.edu.au). Including this one of an oceanic basaltic Samoan pottery fabric with beautiful lithic fragments (from Auckland University's collection- Fiona Petchey).
