Subject: "Observations on computing-oriented sessions at the MLA & elsewhere?"

Perhaps some colleagues might like to summarize the sessions related
to computing which they attended at the MLA or other conventions.
Randall Jones listed every one of the MLA computing sessions, as he
has done so obligingly for the past few years. See Vol. 3, No. 255,
Monday, 18 Dec. 1989.

Subject: Digital image processing in Art History

The Norwegian Computing Centre for the Humanities, Bergen, Norway is
presently engaged in studies of methods and technologies to digital
image processing and analysis in art history. As part of our work we
will make a visit to individuals/research groups (also in North America)
active in this field.

Information on ongoing activities will be most welcome!

Subject: Hypercard stacks for Japanese and Chinese.

This is a plea for help.

I have been told that there are, somewhere, (Berkley?) some stacks for
teaching Japanese kanji and Chinese characters... Does anyone know
anything about this (do they exist / if so, where / if so, how do I
access them etc)? Many thanks.

Subject: [DCGQAL]A0234!Valentine

Please excuse this frivolousness. I am to attend a luncheon with some
interesting and genteel individuals, who have made it a requirement that
participants be prepared to read a Valentine verse. I thought it might be fun
(and incidentally self-serving) to see if HUMANISTS had some suggestions to
help me out.

Cordially,

Semantic Differential technique?

A psychologist colleague is looking for a PC program
to model the variety of distances between objects in
three-dimensional space.

Currently he uses wooden dowel rods and plasticine;
he feels that some more hi-tech method might be
more respectable!
