Did you vote yet? There's still a few days left!

I had tons of fun talking about Icelandic sagas and beyond during yesterday’s episode of Off Czarek @ TOK FM.
Check out the recording here: audycje.tokfm.pl/podcast/1793... [in Polish]

Zapraszam do słuchania audycji
‪@offczarek.bsky.social w radiu TOK FM dziś o 10:00 gdzie będę opowiadać o sagach islandzkich i humanistyce cyfrowej.

Shhhh don’t give me away. No one can know ;)

Here we go again. Who said you cannot do 3 international conferences in a month, first #imc2025, #dh2025, and now the International Saga Conference in Katowice & Kraków.

Get your abstract in by tomorrow and join us in Vienna in February!

Yey! Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing it camera ready!

It’s even better if you order just single photo, I believe they quoted me some 20 GBP for a single image.

😂 haha yes, well done!

Hmmm… Would this help anyone with guessing this secret location where over 500 manuscripts held at the national library of Portugal were produced? 🇵🇹❤️ #portugal

After two weeks of talking about #AI and #manuscripts at #imc2025 and #dh2025 I went to check out some locations where the manuscripts were produced. Can you guess this place in Portugal?

🥁 Drumroll, please! 🥁

We’re thrilled to announce that #DH2028 is heading to Cape Town! Hosted by SADiLaR South African Centre for Digital Language Resources, join us in South Africa from 4–7 July 2028! ✨

Congratulations to everyone involved!

How cool! Does it handle only pairs, or can you collate more than one version?

We got the prize!!Thanks so much to ADHO for extending it to the whole group — not just the developers — people who taught, critiqued, improved, and build on top of stylo #DH2025

Thanks for joining the session!

A lively and refreshingly theatrical Katarzyna Kapitan presents on Old Norse data: "We're basically interested in how lazy we can be..." and using "tiny-tiny-tiny case studies" to evaluate HCR accuracy and possibilities for mss. "How much information are we prepared to lose?"

Thank you to @nkivilcimyavuz.bsky.social and @kakapitan.bsky.social for bringing together a great panel and @lisafdavis.bsky.social for chairing. It was great fun and very informative.
