My full name is Henriette Roued-Cunliffe and I am mother of Bess and wife to John. If anyone asks those are my two major achievements in life.

Note on Eddie’s Room header: this is an illustration made for me by my husband the illustrator. If you like it, have a look at what else he does on his website John Roued-Cunliffe’s Illustrations.


Someone recently asked me about the story behind this blog’s name: Eddie’s Room. Eddie is a nickname which comes from my cousins not being able to pronounce Henriette => Edde. My brother then began calling me Eddie when he was younger. With my husbands British family I have always been Eddie as it is very difficult to pronounce ‘Henriette’ correctly for non-Danish speakers (it’s all about the ‘r’).
The room is my virtual craft/diy room. We dream of having a place of our own with rooms for all our crafty stuff. But we have been moving around quite a bit recently, so this stays a dream, for now. The header is my husbands loving gift to me to try and do a visual representation of ‘my room’. When I feel particularly frustrated about not having our own place – I go to look at the header and smile
Someone else asked again about how to pronounce my surname. I prefer it when it is pronounced like ‘road’ as in the one you drive down.
xx Eddie

Digital Humanities

I live with my little family in Munich where I work as a Programmer and Digital Humanist with the Buddhist Manuscripts from Gandhara project at the Institut für Indologie and Tibetologie at Ludwig-Maximillians-Universität München.

I am currently teaching a seminar “Introduction to XML and editing ancient documents” at LMU, which will cover digital tools and how they can be used by researchers of ancient documents.

I am finishing my Doctorate (PhD) at the University of Oxford with the title:  ”A Decision Support System for the Reading of Ancient Documents“. The PhD is a part of the Image, Text, Interpretation: e-Science, Technology and Documents project (also known as the eSAD project) from 2008-2011.

My Doctorate was based at the Centre for the Study of Ancient Documents (CSAD) at the Ioannou Centre for Classical and Byzantine Studies (Classics) at the University of Oxford where my supervisor Professor Alan K. Bowman is situated.
The eSAD project and thus the doctorate was conducted in co-operation with Dr. Melissa Terras (Centre for Digital Humanities, University College London) and  Professor Sir Michael Brady (Dept of Engineering Science, University of Oxford).

I have also recently added stuff about my MSc dissertation in Archaeological Computing at the Archaeological Computing Research Group, University of Southampton, supervised by Dr. Graeme Earl.

My CV is available on my Linkedin profile and a list of papers, publications and talk (some with links to downloadable copies) are available on my Academia.edu profile.

Mainly work related twitter: @HenrietteRoued  – although some crafty bit’s may sneak in from time to time.

I have chosen to keep one blog for everything but if you are only interested in my Digital Humanities related posts – check out the DH category or subscribe to the DH rss feed.

Crafts

I love my crafts and I do a lot of different things. I knit, sew, spin, decoupage, redecorate old furniture, refashion clothes and much more. If you are only interested in the craft posts on this blog – check out the crafts category or subscribe to the crafts rss feed.

My Craft CV

REFASHION CO-OP: In 2010 I came up with the idea for the Refashion co-op, a multi-editor/multi-contributor blog on refashioning. A previous multi-contributor refashioning blog, Wardrobe Refashion had just closed down because it all became too much of a work load for the editor. Therefore, I decided that if I was going to get involved with starting a new blog, we had to change the editor concept. We began in February 2011 with an editor group of 7 and have since had some editors leave and new ones join. I myself have had a long maternity leave but am now getting involved with editing again now. I think the Refashion co-op has so far been a great success, as when old editors feel a bit burned out or need a break there are always new editors ready to jump in so the blog doesn’t suffer and no-one is left feeling that it all relies on them.

HISTORIC CRAFTS: My previous experience with a multi-contributor blog was Historic Crafts which is now a Google/Blogger blog and is currently working only as an archive. I was the main person behind this blog and I did burn out because of it. I still love the concept of good posts on Historic Crafts and maybe one day in the future I can restart this blog in some form or another as a multi-editor/multi-contributor blog too.

RAVELRY: I am on Ravelry.com as Eddieduckling where I update my knitting and spinning projects and engage with the worldwide knitting community, so please come on over and say hi next time you are on Ravelry. If you don’t know what Ravelry is and you enjoy to knit, crochet or spin then I would definitely recommend that you sign up and try it out.

PINTEREST: I am also on Pinterest, again as Eddieduckling. For a while Pinterest had lost it’s appeal to me because I was too concerned about copyright issues. But now I am on it again pinning away. At the moment I am doing a lot of pinning on edited board for the Refashion Co-op as a part of a big tidying (and making our refashions more visible) task that I have set myself. I have also setup quite a few group boards for group pinning on refashioning.

Genealogy

I am very passionate about family history and I wish I had more time to do more of this. My research so far covers my Danish and my husbands British family. I have several family tree databases. One for each of the 4 parts of my family and one for my husbands family altogether. All five databases are open to the public for all non-sensitive material about people who are deceased. There is no need to ask for a login as I won’t grant access to sensitive information to anyone outside the family. You can find a list of the databases in the menu under the item Genealogy.
