Assorted stuff.
Sep. 1st, 2002 10:45 amSo, update on the website issue: The person in question responded very promptly and courteously to my e-mail, but seemingly completely fails to understand why I'm annoyed. She suggested I consider her site a mirror of mine, on the theory that if I ever had to take mine down, the information would still be there. Excuse me? She's been very polite in our exchanges, so I'm trying not to get too pissy, but she just doesn't seem to get it. I'm not sure it's worth pursuing in any legal sense -- not like I have the money for a legal pursuit, and it's not worth so much to me that I'll pursue it anyway -- but jeez, it's annoying.
However, this has gotten me thinking... would people buy a book version of my site? I could include the additional lists that I have but haven't put on the site yet, and maybe illustrate it with Victorian-era flower pictures, add a historical introduction... what do y'all think? (Yes, I know I'm not a southerner and thus shouldn't be allowed to use "y'all." At least I know where the apostrophe goes!)
Went to King Richard's Faire (Massachusetts's Renaissance fair) yesterday, for the first time. Now I understand why people I know refer to it as King Richard's Mall. Even more than most Ren fairs I've been to, it seemed heavily tilted toward the commercial. Of course, I was with a bunch of LARP types who actually wanted to buy stuff, so maybe my perspective was skewed. I did come home with a really nifty green suede hat -- kind of Spanish-style, to my taste, or gaucho maybe; pretty flat, with a brim. There were other things I'd've happily bought for Legends & such, except that I have no money to buy them with.
Legends starts up again next weekend. Should be fun. I need to finish making my new peasant shirt to wear.
Now I should go proofread...
