I love it when my worlds collide.
Three days a week, I work for the Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainability. Here in the Australian office at RMIT, we work on issues related to Australian security (broadly understood). In particular, we keep track of what Australia’s forces are doing overseas, in the belief that an informed public can have a better debate.
This involves keeping track of what Australian forces are doing in East Timor. On the weekend, my boss sent me a link to an item in the Timor Archives blog, National Archives digitised records: A better view.
It is a lovely little note about Tim Sherratt’s RecordSearch Image Tool userscript for Firefox.
Good to see that little tool making life useful for people. And great to see my disparate worlds collide.
