Life magazine for March 2nd, 1911, with cover art by Orson Lowell. The Peacock Number, eh? Can’t help but wonder what the rest of this issue was like.

And back again
Normal service has been resumed. Thank you.
In another place
Where we’re from the birds sing a pretty song, and there’s always music in the air.
My internet connection has been steadily degrading over the past few days to the extent that I’m now reduced to posting this via the antiquated miracle of dialup. Things will be quiet here for the next day or so while I attempt to get to the bottom of the problem. In the meantime, for anyone curious enough, I’ll activate the archive feature to summon random posts from the past.
Picture from Twin Peaks since I’ve been re-watching the series over the weekend.
And back again
Well that took a lot longer than it should have done but as I mentioned earlier, the break has enabled me to catch up with some pressing deadlines. Despite the delay the server move seems to have gone better than in the past, and should have the advantage of making this part of the site run a lot more efficiently than it has done when a horde of vistors turn up looking for gay erotica.
I’ve lots of news to post about recent work but for now here’s a picture of Baron Munchhausen on his aquatic horse, a rendering from 1896 by Gottfried Franz (1846–1905) which can be seen at very large size at Wikimedia Commons. Onward!
Hiatus
The server swap is still ongoing here so, for technical reasons I won’t bore anyone with, I’m taking a short break until things are sorted out. Yesterday’s post and a couple of recent comments may vanish for a while but if they do they should be restored soon after. A break would be useful this week in any case since I have a number of competing deadlines to attend to. See you on the other side!
