Currently porting an old C++ engine from Windows/DirectX 11 to Linux/OpenGL 4.6. Always good to see that past me knew _exactly_ where I was likely to screw up when adding code back in

A screenshot of C++ code showing the definition of a function called VOnRestore. On one of the lines there is a comment which reads // [munnellg] DO NOT COMMENT THIS IN in all uppercase text next to a commented out function call.

Writing an narrative academic CV is a wild experience of imposter syndrome meeting documented academic contributions. I'm glad it's Friday, because I'm going to need to sit down for a bit and think about what I've done. In other news, I'm applying for my first Assistant Professorship. Wish me luck!

A screenshot of an excerpt from a word document. The text reads, "I have extensive experience delivering cutting-edge research in ambitious interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research projects. I have played a central (often leading) role in pioneering research across 9 European and Irish academic research projects (combined: €31.25M). I have led the technical research planning for 2 Horizon Europe funding applications (combined: €7M). I have designed and taught courses across 15 different subjects from undergraduate to masters, spanning computer science and the humanities (~3,500 students). My research and technical leadership were fundamental to the development of the multi-award winning Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland, and the Knowledge Graph for Irish History."

Delighted to see that @vigilantproject.bsky.social has made it to BlueSky. This Horizon Europe funded project is doing incredible work to detect criminal activities linked to disinformation across Europe. Some fascinating research coming out of this team. Well worth following.

My cousin and their partner wrote an important letter today to @newstatesman.com about their unacceptable endorsement of anti-trans rhetoric. I’m very proud of the two of them for speaking up and eternally frustrated that we are still fighting these battles in 2025. #lgbtq #humanrights #newstatesman

I'd like to share one of my greater achievements this year- the Queer Justice Index. Myself and @gary-munnelly.bsky.social created a measure of the relationship between political corruption and LGBTQ+ inequality, through data collected by @ilgaeurope.bsky.social + @anticorruption.bsky.social.

Brilliant work by the ATHENA team went into this analysis of 32 case studies of #FIMI yielding in several insights into these attacks on democratic societies. Our press release contains a summary of findings, but the full report will be available on the website soon project-athena.eu/wp-content/u...

A friend recently sent me a point cloud she generated of an 18th century Swedish tallship using LIDAR. I wanted to try converting it to a 3D mesh that we can use to build an immersive virtual experience. So here's a render I managed to generate of a rooster carved into the ship's hull #dh #blender

A 3D render of a small portion of a ship's hull. The paint is blue and gold. The texture of the surface is lumpy due to a noisy point cloud being used to generate the image. There is a detail of a rooster in gold carved prominently into the wood.

At the request of absolutely no one (I am bored to death in IAD), here is yet another starter pack! People and projects in Linked Open Data! Hopefully this is of service to Digital Humanities folks. Apologies if I missed you, and please let me know if you want to be added. go.bsky.app/KC8Q9r8

Hi folks! I'm a postdoctoral research fellow in the ADAPT centre in Dublin. Fundamentally I am interested in finding ways to make it as easy as possible for people find answers to questions. I currently help to combat disinformation, FIMI, and hate speech through the VIGILANT and ATHENA projects.
