Making some card decks as "research probes" to help people understand their digital footprint and how third parties use it. With the help of 2 doggos. Help with conceptualisation might get them authorship credits.

I've recently started a project to provide stable identifiers for 'artifacts' (mostly maker/research/hobby electronics) to help combat link rot and aid discoverability. It works much like DOIs for papers, but is based on an open index maintained on GitHub - see hwidx.org for details :)

We have three new UCREL ( @ucrelnlp.bsky.social ) Corpus Research Seminar (CRS) videos out today; these were recorded some time ago, but our editor (me!) and approvals to release took a little while :)

Hoping to direct more effort to microblogging as I always fail at maintaining normal sized blogs. Any tips at maintaining this alongside other academic commitments?
