It's true!
I am asking around on different mailing lists to gain some insight into the archiving habits of linguists who use lexical databases. I am specifically interested in databases created by tools like FLEx, ToolBox, Lexus, TshwaneLex, etc.

One of the beautiful things I see when I fly are sunsets. Today was no exception. The camera never seems to do the beauty justice.
12 months after getting new mouse buttons for my laptop I finally installed them. So much relief going on here.
When I airdrop a note it moves it to iCloud and then changes the date on the recipient’s note to the date the message was received rather than created.
I have long wondered how I might encode information contained in the https://academictree.org in MARC Authority Records. Obviously via MARC relator roles the information might be encoded within the bibliographic record. However, looking at the MARC 510 field on the linked record https://lccn.loc.gov/no2004069960, it seems that the MARC 500 field on authority Records might be used with several of the sub-fields.
DC has the ability to specify subjects such as UDC, LCSH or DDC. How would these be converted to schema.org?

I have been investigating some new video equipment for language documentation. Currently highly recommended is the Osmo Pocket 3 and the GoPro Hero 11 (as this has GPS embedded whereas the GP12 does not). It is not entirely clear if the GP13 has GPS or not.
Also my microphones need some attention. I need some endcaps and some windscreens.
I have been thinking about using updating my capabilities for recording and regularly recording Katja Playing Music.
So I have several questions:
Some resources:

This is really cool! Now, just to extend it to fonts that the rest of the world use outside of Europe.

One plan for pushing language resources to the web en-mass before a full django application is available is to use Hugo and its XML input process to parse OALC/OAI-PMH files (generated with an OAI-PMH bash script) and then convert bibtex entries to xml (using Jabref or commandline) or JSON. The content issue to overcome is that pages in Hugo have to have front matter. The XML and JSON are both content and front matter (or visible front matter). I think I need to generate an .md file for each entry meaning XML data is not really that useful. But there may be hope
The DCTerms provides some fields for use in the description of Collections. While it may be possible to use terms from specific vocabularies in the CLD (see a list of works) or see the whole application profile here. However, It is interesting to note that RDA has some of these terms too and even though purls were minted for CLD that linked data URIs exist for these concepts as well.
