Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

On the days leading up to the event, members of the ELL Team posted on the Pathfinders channel of Facebook and via lab's Twitter channel. But since they could not travel to the University of Victoria, few posts were generated during the event. Grigar moderated the YouTube chat as she had done at the previous Traversals.
Facebook
Pathfinders posted a bio of Tim McLaughlin on Facebook. He is a photographer and writer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. He has also experimented with radio, hypertext fiction, book production, and documentary film. Pathfinders posted a plot description by Eastgate Systems, Inc.: "Notes Towards Absolute Zero'interweaves historical documents of ill-fated Franklin expedition with the personal reminiscences of a woman in search for her hypnotist and of the man who, in turn, searches for her." This post provides an invitation to Tim McLaughlin's traversal hosted by UVic Libraries Digital Scholarship Commons on March 1, 2019 from 2:00-3:30 pm PST. It also mentions that the Traversal is in celebration of Endangered Data Week. Twitter
The Electronic Literature Lab tweeted an invitation to view the live stream traversal of Tim McLaughlin's Notes Toward Absolute Zero. An image of the folio and its contents are also included. Matt Huculak tweeted a quote from Notes Toward Absolute Zero that "travel is a conversation between places."
