<O F F L I N E 24>
by Robert A. Kraft
----------------------------------
I write this as June rapidly draws to a close. Fresh
in memory is the combined international conference on
THE DYNAMIC TEXT held earlier this month in Toronto (see
further below). Not very far in the future is the
SBL/AAR/ASOR meeting, including its CARG (Computer
Assisted Research Group) activities. In between is a
papyrology conference in Cairo, Egypt, at which I plan
to present an update on some of the procedures and
results of our work on computer assisted identification
and restoration of papyri fragments. For recreation, I
have just finished a computer program to index the names
in a massive family genealogy file that I have been
developing. On a daily basis, incoming and outgoing
electronic mail takes up some of my time, and the more
traditional and regular chores of an academician's life,
including bibliographical searching of the Library
holdings, are also facilitated in various ways by
computerized activity.
[NB: This Offline also contains a thoughtful discussion of humanities
computing as a nascent discipline and the need for assimilating
computing activities into the disciplines from which the
applications arise. -- W.M.]
