I just found out that the whole of the Ten Books by early medieval scriptor Gregory of Tours are accessible online via Wikisource.
To most of you this may sound as interesting as the discovery of yet another website featuring tiny kittens, but for me it means I will have the primary primary source for my thesis right there at my fingertips, online, fully searchable, all the goddamn time!
And a little note on the side: the source is located in the Latin version of Wikisource. Check out their mainpage, it’s more fun than a birthday-party.
So hot newcomers Klaxons will visit Vienna on the 19th. I had planned on seeing that show for a while now, and today I wanted to buy two tickets, only to find that they are all sold-out. SOLD OUT!
I mean, two weeks ago when I went to see the Cooper Temple Clause, a band that’s been around for about five times as long as the Klaxons, I bought my ticket right before the show started!
This is frustrating, and I don’t plan on letting this slip. There will have to be consequences!
Oh, and if you happen to have a couple of tickets left, drop me a note. In addition to the normal price I would reimburse you with gratitude and truckloads of money. Tonka Trucks that is. And coins only. The red ones.
PS: Three exclamation marks in such a short post? Tut-tut!
PPS: For want of active readership I need to do things like that one above.
PPPS: That’s far too meta for you, right?
Fantastic news just won’t quit: Messages from the Lost Continent, the book I helped write under the guidance of the ingenious speaking aardvark Horst has been shortlisted for the 2007 Blooker Price (ah, yes, it’s a pun…weblogs turned into books = blooks). With 34 entries and only 6 on the shortlist, that’s not too shabby.
If you don’t have a copy yet (and if you are not my girlfriend or my family, chances are you don’t) buy one at Libri.de and help Horst cover the rest of the costs (and of course enjoy a novelty novel filled with crime, fantasy, science-fiction and off-the-top humour from cover to cover).
Sunday, Arena, Vienna.
Song of the evening: Panzer Attack.
So here I am, joining the ranks of millions and millions of bloggers posting cute baby photos. Only that this time it might well be the best picture ever posted. Say hello to the kid who’s turned me into an uncle and designated godfather:
It’s Astor Karl Theodor, by the way.
PS: Ooh, black and white looks good on my site. I really should post more of these…
