#BookHistory people! Have you ever read a book or article that proposed anything like the communications circuit for manuscripts? Basically a conceptual model of the creation, circulation, and reception of mss books? I would love to know about them for my quals paper!
Starfield's second update fixes infinite money puddles, but not flying cities.
I've read several comments here and elsewhere that Bethesda's Starfield is "a mile-wide but deep as a puddle", or variations on that theme. Said commenters might be tickled to know that there is, in fact, a puddle in the game's Akila City that contains infinite loot: by dint of peering into it, you'll magically gain access to a nearby store's inventory. Strip the shelves, then wait a day or two, and you'll be able to do so again, forever and ever. Or at least, that was the case till this week's Starfield patch, a small update consisting of exactly ten bulletpoints, including one that tackles "an issue that allowed for a vendor's full inventory to be accessible". Boo! Time to go looking for another convenient in-game metaphor, I guess. Perhaps there's something incredibly clever you can say about all the flying cities.
How ushers rate audience response: when asked if we'd had any feedback post-performance, i said that I'd seen only two phone checks (was on balcony so can see entire audience) for the entire thing and the boss said approvingly 'That is good.' #TheOceanattheEndoftheLane@neilhimself
The main theme from @neilhimself's #GoodOmens, composed by David Arnold, was one of the delights performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra and Huddersfield Choral Society at the #BBCProms this year. The concert was conducted by Anna-Maria Helsing.
For the first (ish) time, I'm missing the birdsite - because I've just finished the most incredible book, and in the past I could have tweeted the author to tell him how much I appreciated it. And I can't now. But I can still shout about it here. Every teacher in every type of context should read "I Heard What You Said" by Jeffrey Boakye - about being a black teacher in the UK. It's astounding. #Books#AmReading#JeffreyBoakye#Education#EduTooter@edutooters
