Awesome, Simon. A true unliterary masterpiece. As long as we're gleefully slipping off the subject, how about our "acronym" for the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist collection: Imps and Pimps.

Hi Carissa, In the spirit of not being at all helpful but enjoying the opportunity to roll out a true favourite...

Hi, all... I'm trying to compile a list of tech-related acronyms that might be important for museum staff to know and understand -- or at the very least, recognize. Right now, I'm just gathering EVERYthing I can think of -- file extensions (PDF, JPG), emerging technologies (BLE, NFC), web-related (HTML, PHP)... So... - Are there any that you think are particularly relevant/important? - What terms do you frequently toss around during museum tech meetings? - Are there any that are often misunderstood/misinterpreted? I'd be happy to share my "final" list when I've got it ready... FIRE AWAY!! Thanks...
