Reading one of those monographs that, though close to my interests in terms of subject, period and, indeed, politics, I desperately want to chuck across the room. Whether it's Marxism, liberalism, or nationalism, a methodology aimed primarily at upholding (even in a modified form) a given ideology isn't history. I don't care how many footnotes* you have.
*In this particular book, as is often the case, the vast majority of references are to studies, most often theoretical, n…

"Aged six, Terry happened innocently on the sole relic of Eileen’s Catholicism – a small, cheaply produced wooden crucifix on the dressing table in his parents’ bedroom – and he gathered it up and carried it to her with the immortal line, ‘Mum! I’ve found a stick with an acrobat on it.’"

Some footnotes on Thurston's Notes ''The Geometry and Topology of 3-manifolds''
These are a few historical remarks, addenda and references with comments on some topics discussed by Thurston in his notes ''The geometry and topology of three-manifolds''. The topics are mainly hyperbolic geometry, geometric structures, volumes of hyperbolic polyhedra and the so-called Koebe--Andreev--Thurston theorem. I discuss in particular some works of Lobachevsky, Andreev and Milnor, with an excursus in Dante's cosmology, based on the insight of Pavel Florensky. The final version of th…

Learning digital security as a “non-techie”
A wooden duster came flying at 11-year-old me. I had misspelled my Venn diagram as “when diagram”, and the math teacher was teaching me an important lesson. Although not officially a part of the syllabus, my place within the classroom was clear. I was, as she called me, a pedhi.Kannada (Dravidian language spoken predominantly by the people of Karnataka in the southwestern

GOV.UK publishes a rich web version of the Budget (with hyperlinked footnotes and SVG figures) but still emphasises the PDF version. (Because there's no image thumbnail?)

#Kindle handles #AZW3 format better than #mobi. The footnotes are shown in small font at the bottom, rather in a huge font (larger than text) in an overlay window. Hopefully it won't hang as often as it did with mobi either.
#Calibre is very wrong to default to converting everything to mobi for these devices.
