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.

This video of the unauthorized emulation of the 1990 Edition of Joyce's afternoon, a story illustrates the differences in "material condition" that affects the reader's experience with a work. We see that the work's icon is contained inside a "System" folder along with a System Folder instead of appearing on the computer's desktop. Clicking on the icon elicits no sound. The pace is fast.
The title screen offers the same two choices as the 1992 Mac Edition, "Begin a new reading" and "Resume previous reading," but there are two loading screens: one for a "total number of places"—what is called "spaces" in the 1992 Macintosh Edition—and another for "Total links." The pace again is fast, taking a mere five seconds to load.
