This just came out on the Yahoo MEDTC Discussion group and I thought I would forward it on via e-mail and then I realized that there's too many of you who would be into this. By the way, if you're into medieval and early modern clothing, dress accessories, and textiles (including tools and processes) that's an excellent group to join to keep up with current publications.
Here's the post. Feel free to share. Enjoy!
In 1286 AD the Danish king Erik Klipping was murdered. He was buried in Viborg Cathedral and some bits of textile has survived. Have uploaded a pdf-file and an english translation to: http://www.tabletweaving.dk/?Publications Look at the second last article.
The article was written in Danish in Viborg Stiftsmuseums yearbook. I have made a translation (language corrections are wellcome!) and I have now got the museums permission to opload the article. Hope You like it.

One of the many things on my plate is to get our website up and running with good content.
Question for you all - apart from An Tir's Ithra website, are you aware of any other websites in the Knowne World that manage registrations, keep student and teacher records on line? If so, can you comment here and let me know. I will try to contact them and see if their code is easy to maintain and if we can use a version of it for our website. I am all about re-use.
Calontir isn't one - they have the students manage their own paper records. Since every kingdom call their universities by different names and some like us have principality universities as well, it's a bit hard to figure it out myself. Hence I am polling the collective mind of LJ. Yay for all my out of kingdom friends!
Thank you in advance.

ornerie, I figured out how to change my default friends view. Now I can do what I always wanted, friend a bunch of people and yet not have them on my default reading list.I want to read everyone, but I have to be disciplined. I love reading and there is an unlimited amount of things that interest me - a bad combination. Hence, I rarely add people to my friends list anymore.
I am posting more and more "friends only" of late - posting a lot about projects relating to the SCA and my travels (I protect those posts so people cannot figure when we are away from home). Using the security features of LJ means that I am aiming for a specific audience - but that audience is not the same as my reading list!
I wish there was a way to display without ambiguity in LJ that someone is part of my trusted audience but that they aren't part of my default reading view.
Marie-Andrée and others - you need to create yourself an LJ account so you can continue reading me!
I leave you with a quote from an article
j_v_lynch linked to. It has given me much food for thought tonight."Relationships flow along the path of least resistance. If you make it tough for others to relate to you, don’t be surprised if they go elsewhere. No matter how nice, knowledgeable, clever, witty, sexy, or well-connected you are, no one is forced to accept anything beyond the most superficial dealings with you. Besides, there are plenty of other people who are nicer, brighter, wittier, cleverer, sexier, and better-connected than you are. Some of them are probably richer too. "

Chris hates that show with passion - in fact I tape it and watch it when he is otherwise occupied.
Since he is such a nice guy, he promised to watch the finale with me next week. I am so lucky.
Yay. One less show to tape! (Really the show has run its course and I am not sad it is ending. In fact I am relieved)
In other news, the CSI season finale sounds awesome - 5/29!

I need some of the gum that would exude eventually after you cut into your tree.
Why do I need this type of gum over the more available kinds? Well according to my research (that site is from an Estonian university and shows you the IR spectra of cherry gum... nifty):
Cherry Gum is from the cherry, mahaleb-cherry, apricot and plum trees. It swells in water. Cherry Gum may be emulsified with fatty oils and balsams. It gives great transparency to color. When added to an egg or casein emulsion, it gives a brilliant, enamel-like effect. It is mentioned as a painting medium in some treatises, particularly of northern origin and probably had occasional use as late as the XIX century.

However, we now have more sun than down south. Sunrise is around 6am and sunset inching closer and closer to 9pm.
So this bad news/good news scenario makes me only half evil... *grins*

... is staying at a B&B in the Okanagan before going to an SCA event. I am starting to get visited out. Back to work on Tuesday!
Oh and in a first, this B&B is not owned by a gay couple and as such not frou frou victorian. I find it hilarious that when I select a B&B from the internet, I always end up with a male couple owning the place and lots of dolls and victoriana. Such a sterotype.
This place rocks, it has kitties, llamas, chickuns and those grape vine things. Suite is amazing and cheaper that staying at the local hotel! Yay internet.
