1. Rique Meirelles: @BarnabyWalters hey man! Thanks for the fav. :) how are you? Making many gurdies? cheers

    @Hurdy_Rique greetings! I’m good thanks, haven’t made any gurdies for two years whilst living in Iceland, but I’m moving to Germany in July to start a workshop there. How are you getting on with your new Hilsmann?

  2. Vicente Parrilla: Also @GNM_Nuernberg, Das Germanische Nationalmuseum Nürnberg. Amazing collection of old instruments. Some recorders: pic.twitter.com/eVvb2jHlVx

    @vicenteparrilla nice! I’ve found German and Austrian museums to be some of the best for old instruments. The Deutsches Museum Munich, Technisches Museum Vienna and Vienna museum of ancient instruments are really worth checking out.

  3. Amy Guy: Hmmm I have a lot of conferences all over continental Europe during May, do I just get an interrail pass and stay away for a month? #travel

    @rhiaro go for it! I did that last summer, it’s inexpensive and loads of fun.

  4. Kyle Mahan: You are a Hugin master!

    Ha ha, thanks :) The latest versions of Hugin actually make things really easy — I used to be a purist and set all the control points manually, but that automatic cpfind function now works pretty well. Modern phones with panorama features take some of the novelty out of manual stitching, but you can still get much better results this way!

  5. Barnaby Walters: Anyone got scifi recommendations (any media) specifically for narratives which at no point involve sentient individual creatures moving between rooms, using doors or anything similar.

    For example, I’d love to read something like Terry Bisson’s Meat, but where the narrators are repulsed by the fact that humans have to traverse 3D space, most often between artifically constructed bounded areas, in order to achieve their goals.

  6. Evan Prodromou: Is there anything besides film, software or a rash that you "develop"? What a dumb verb.

    @evanpro in British English you can develop an idea, develop land, develop a technique or product, and now I’ve developed semantic satiation from thinking about the word “develop” too much :)

  7. Brian Suda: finds some closure on a few orphaned notebooks. They've been re-routed to the proper home. The new scholarship awardees will enjoy them now.

    @briansuda if these are the ones I think they are, props to Analog for handling them in such a human way
