http://informationdirectorate.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

A blog from Information Services at the University of York. Tuesday, 30 September 2014. Pillowcases and air freshener - the unexpected world of classic computers. On the day of his retirement, Pete Turnbull. Introduces us to his museum of computing. If you walked along the ground floor corridor of the Fairhurst Building last summer, you would have seen a display cabinet reflecting five decades of computing artefacts. The contents came from my collection of 'classic computers'. Pete and his SGI 2000.

Tattle tape and tea. Musings of a trainee librarian. Hack Library School Day in the Life: Tuesday. I’m back for the Tuesday installment of Hack Library School Day in the Life. Before I start, just a quick note on some of the blogs and tweets from over the pond. It’s really interesting to read what American library schoolers are up to, and the main difference relates to internships. Library internships seem to be all the rage perhaps it is compulsory to do a work placement during your masters? Should pare...

039;In pursuit of history' dusted off and reposted. Dust dust, cough cough*. Just dust of Mr Sykes’ blog will you, he wants the bloody thing back on the internet for some reason. Dust, dust, cough cough* The great thing about blogs is that even if you make them private and stash them away in your sock drawer for three years, the pages don’t go all foxed and yellow and you’re only ever one button press away from sharing your amateur history ramblings with the world all over again. Will I update it? Meh, d...

Jamie Woods '77: December 2012

http://jamiewoods77.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Fiction non-fiction pop culture. Monday, December 24, 2012. 2012 has been a bit of a year, don’t want to brag, like, but compared the very little I’ve done since 1977, it deserves a bit of a hurrah.

I got a degree, and started a Masters. Is the reason that Rhodes’ best novel to date was called Gold. It’s f...

Fiction non-fiction pop culture. Tuesday, September 11, 2012. Of the latter song is about decency, manners, respect: classiness. That side of class is easy to define, easy to implement, and without doubt is an aspiration. The band The Indelicates have released a song today, also entitled ‘Class’. Well these are the important career, life, country-changing first rungs on the ladder that are only available to the upper class, to the few, to the rich. Titled Diseases of England,.

039;In pursuit of history' dusted off and reposted. You might ask why I was putting myself at the mercy of a frenzy of harvesting tractors, midges and assorted roadkill, well Boscobel is the answer of course. But why get off my arse and visit, when I have lovely documents at home that describe it? Of a place, all provide details that you didn’t know were missing from pictures constructed of pen and ink.
