Mac Geek High Holy Days
My co-workers find it highly amusing that I would actually take a vacation day to go to the MacWorld Expo. They weren't laughing so hard when I brought in a bag of freebies to share! I went with my mac-geek-buddy SK and a friend of hers from the UK -- we walked our feet off and then ended the day at a little Thai restaurant across the street from Moscone Center. I had the tamarind duck (very nice, but not enough tamarind and not enough duck). I didn't have any specific shopping goals at MacWorld, but I picked up an upgrade to FileMaker 8, a new model Iris scanning pen (useful for OCRing small snippets out of a larger text), and my usual year's supply of ultra-cheap printer ink.
The page proofs arrived for my article "Comparing Historic Name Communities in Wales: Some Approaches and Considerations” that will appear in Studies on the Personal Name in Later Medieval England and Wales (ed. Dave Postles and Joel Rosenthal). It's been 7 years since my first contact with the project -- it's gone through four or five editors, two different publishers, and at least two or three different required file formats. But I've just sent in my notes on the copyeditor's markup and have high hopes of actually seeing in it print this year. Since the publisher is the Medieval Institute at Kalamazoo, I'm hoping that they're aiming to have it in print by the conference in May.
Hey, maybe sometime this decade the Encyclopedia of Celtic Culture will see print as well and I can clear out all the "forthcoming"s in my publications list.
