If this is my last tweet, then this may well be where I'm off to.

I've been working on an open source novella/textbook for first year Latin students. The main character is a curious cat who solves mysteries. Here is Mysterium Felis Absentis! It features the underground basilica near the Porta Maggiore. Edits welcome!! #classicstwitter🧵

I'm tempted to propose a volume titled "We're not sure and that's OK: Selected studies from the Roman World" (I'd humbly ask @candidamoss to contribute as it picks up an occasional thread of convo.)

The "Kenchreai Ceramic Catalog" is still in earliest stages. Looking OK, I think. I've added Pontic and Cypriot Sigillata. Some nice Late Roman Athenian vessels. Our earliest African Red Slip piece (Hayes 8a) and other entries. All with pretty good photos. kenchreai.org/catalogs/kench…

Quick illustration of the archaeological principle that you don’t need to find much of a vessel to restore it. Just about any part of the rim of this Late Roman dish (from area of modern Tunisia) would give an idea of the whole thing. Having base is great as well! #kenchreai2023

@chrysoboullon @diyclassics It's an important point. I noted that you can pay "from nothing to full charge, as we recognise that not all authors have access to funding". The full price is steep, no doubt about that.

@sebhth @diyclassics I like this amphitheater dataset; it'll be useful to overlay it with some later fortifications in the east. I have a dataset I've been sitting on for a while now and this seems like a good opportunity, but an article fee?!

Ecce! Hodie Lola Marcusque regionem inter Tiberim et Capitolium explorant. Hoc illo tempore prope hoc templum rotundum stant. Marcus nescit cuius templum sit, sed olim audivit id esse templum Herculis. Hercules est heros Graecus Marco praedilectus. Lola cupit in tecto dormire.

Victory. I think. Though I should be cautious. Phusion Passenger didn't like AWS Linux. So I spun up Ubuntu 22.04. No go (openssl 3.0 too up to date). Ubunto 18.04 too old (Python 3.6). A few AWS instances later... Ubuntu 20.04 worked. Complicated!😠But yeah, victory. I think.

I just want everyone to know that I'm in a battle with ubuntu, apache2, and Phusion Passenger. I will win. And it is healthy for me to keep my hand in this plumbing aspect of #DH. Skillz maintenance. But yeah, it's a battle. I'll win! #AcademiChatter

I grew up in NYC and I live in NYC. Love the place. If you click thru, Vienna at top of this list. I’ve spent a tiny bit of time there. Great public transportation. Great parks. Great vibe. Add in good healthcare, and yeah, I get it. Probably not perfect but definitely livable.

I have something like a complete draft of "Mapping Movement and Diverse Experiences Between Amphitheaters North of Rome". Public preview is at roman-amphitheaters.github.io/mapping-moveme… . From .md source. I'll use that to pitch to an editor. I won't put that person on spot. But do wish me luck.

@Sicilyepigraphy A few months out from the event, I'm thinking that 5+ hours is an exciting opportunity for a deep dive into "Linked Open Data" and how palp.art implements those ideas. And I'm thinking, "Plenty of time to prepare!" I will try to maintain this optimistic approach!

@kgeographer @ewg118 I enjoy this issue, as in I like thinking about it. But I try to keep it away from my everyday modeling. Yes, everything is a description. Everything an “information resource”. Sticking to that helps me avoid complexity. I find that makes data easier to use.

@ewg118 I was pointing out a logical fallacy I never bothered to address in the numerous systems I have built for the reasons you mention. I’ve begun writing a Linked Places ontology so that I can make an RDF serialization of #WHG data, so it’s come to mind again

? for fellow ontologists: if I say e.g. whg:123 rdf:type voc:Place, and whg:123 is a URL to a web resource describing a place, isn't whg:123 in fact a voc:PlaceDescription (or similar)? After all the resource/page object is not the place itself. Has nagged me for years.
