I learned yesterday that the typical UK design for big supermarkets in the 1980s and 1990s was modelled on tithe barns. I have no idea what to do with this information but I really like it.

I'm going to have to travel back in time to have a word with some of these nineteenth-century pamphleteers. You cannot just title a text "An Essay on X" and then have it be 432 pages. That is a book, good sir, and you need an editor.

The awkward moment when you out yourself as professional services staff when checking on a book order with your university. Not sure I'll be able to convince them that a £200 book on the print history of Old English is relevant to my job.

York students and staff - our library catalogue is doing some behind the scenes migration to a new platform tomorrow. You'll see little or no difference and there should be no downtime - but: saved searches won't be migrated across. So if you have important ones, make a note of them.

Part of the fun (frustration) of working on antiquaries is finding out how they got their info. When a guy in the 19thC cites a guy from the 18thC who has copied a 17thC guy but all have misidentified a medieval text, so you end up with a big note about how there is no Ælfric's "Letter to Wulfinus".
