I am grateful for our lively discussion in my workshop on creating & hosting Open Educational Resources. Across institutions and disciplines, we share the same challenges and experiment with similar solutions. There is no one-fits-all workflow or platform […]

Having repurposed Windows machines for #linux so far, I am now the proud owner of my first Linux-native #slimbook laptop. The communication with the customer service in Spain was great & delivery was 100% transparent. It takes a while for the team to […]

With the general elections in the Netherlands coming up, the unions and #woinactie organise a public event in Utrecht to watch the election debate together and discuss with experts. Bring your family, friends, colleagues and rain gear as the event takes place on the cathedral square in Utrecht.

As part of an @AtriumBerlin workshop, my colleague Susan & I are trying to prepare #trainingdata to build a special #htr model for early 20th-century handwriting from the British Isles in #e-scriptorium. Unfortunately, none of the existing #kraken models […]

As academics, we get invitations to contribute to more or less legitimate conferences and journals all the time, and often the proposed topics have nothing to do with our research. Most of the people sending these emails, however, at least get our names […]

#nature is always fascinating --- no matter how often you've seen particular phenomena before. I am currently in Northern #italy and observing a #thunderstorm at night. Because of the clouds, we cannot see actual flashes, but the light effects are still […]

I have booked one of the new mini cabins on the #nightjet sleeper #train for the first time and think they're gorgeous! They give you full privacy at a reasonable price. You have a locker for a mid-sized suitcase and more room for smaller bags under your […]

Starting another #nighttrain adventure today at #amersfoort Centraal! I am taking the ÖBB #nightjet to #munich and will get there by 6 am tomorrow morning. My previous experiences with the Austrian sleeper trains were very good --- both in shared cabins and […]

Looking forward to the #dae2025 paper by my @fasosmaastricht colleague Arnoud Wils, who will discuss analysing part art historical research with the help of #LLMs. Arnoud is our research engineer at @theplantfasos and supports #digitaltransformation of research and teaching at our faculty.

Interesting for us at @fasosmaastricht and everyone else using advertising in research and teaching: a new app called NEWNA to segment and dynamically interact with magazine pages developed and presented by PhD candidates Tobias Kreten and Svend Göke at #dae2025 ⚒️

Need help navigating the national and European #researchinfrastructure landscapes? Maybe this chart shown at #dae2025 does the trick! If you are German-speaking, you can also check out the #nfdi "survival kit": https://zenodo.org/records/14981549 This kit […]

I have asked #GPT-4.0 to translate a news report from Dutch to German for me because I wanted to inform my family about current debates in the Netherlands. I was surprised that #chatgpt started a #deepsearch although I had not actively selected this feature […]

Ik wilde even maar bij @nrc_nl bedanken voor de uitstekende mogelijkheid nu een jaar ook #nytimes artikelen te lezen. Ik ben vooral geïnteresseerd in technologie, economie en wetenschap. Ook de NRC audio app gebruik ik regelmatig voor tech nieuws terwijl […]

Op woensdag staken wij in #maastricht om tegen de regeringsmaatregelen in het #hogeronderwijs te demonstreren. In een tijd waar we onder andere onafhankelijker willen worden van de VS economie is het alleen maar cynisch de opleiding van nieuwe experten en […]

I have been trying to encourage an #amaryllis to #flower for years, following all the advice about intermittently putting it into a dark space etc. What really did the trick for me was to permanently put it into the brightest spot possible (no direct […]

Every now & then, I give #chatgpt a scan of my handwriting to test its skills in working with #handwrittentexts. Initially, it responded that it could not process the scans or gave me entirely fictional output, but today it got almost everything right […]
