April 2013

In response to q, @the_blochian points out other OA models experimenting with form and @wordpress: Flow & our own @AlluviumJournal #formsinn

Now @ernestopriego is going to talk to #formsinn about authors and attribution. He's handed out post-it notes for analogue tweeting!

On strict compliance: "It would be reckless of me, as the UK's only professor of copyright law, to advocate..." Deazley #formsinn

EU Orphan Works Directive 2012 excludes artistic works & relies on being reasonable to assume author won't object. Can't do this #formsinn

Some unpublished materials of authors who died pre 1989 remain in copyright until 2039 because bits of UK copyright law are insane #formsinn

Deazley pleased with versioning but bemoans less than interactive feedback setup for CREATe docs. Needs @kfitz! #formsinn

Digital Economy Act 2014 will be a tipping point for more active monitoring and enforcement of copyright #formsinn

Introductions at #formsofinnovation revealing a broad spread of historical, literary, technological and legal scholars.

Tomorrow, after some more writing, I'm heading Durham-wards for the Forms of Innovation conference, but also to talk Pynchon!

MT @collinsactually Just realized that I don't actually know how to book annual leave. Holiday space in calendar just reads WRITE #ecrchat

Just for those worried, the person next to me is actually OK; it's only Foucault pain not anything more serious as she has now got up :)

Woman next to me at the BL has copy of Foucault's Archaeology of Knowledge open. She is slumped in a heap, head on desk, barely respiring.

There's a guy sitting in the British Library piazza simply holding up a sign to all who pass that reads "You're perfect".

Survived so far this week: house of commons select committee; paper @ Lincoln; meetings & admin. Now preparing for @BAASConf2013 tomorrow!

Many thanks to all for kind tweets re #bisoa - very nerve wracking but enjoyable. Hope I was fair, even if committed.

En route to the House of Commons. I'm on at around 12. Then straight off to Lincoln to host grad school debate on future of acad publishing!

Talking about deep engagement w/ real objects via tech - teach how to classify for themselves via, say, architectural features #THATCampLdn

Mmm. Newly published collection of Foucault's Lectures on the Will to Know just arrived. Shame I have no time to read for a while...

Had an extremely fine afternoon at the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary. Attached is their beautiful spectacled owl, Phyllis.
