Whoops!

Been meaning to move a few of my Tumblr blogs over to my own web space for a while, and the other day finally logged in to start backing them up and start the transfer.

Wanted to tidy things up and delete some old blogs I wasn’t going to keep, and ended up deleting my whole account D:

So, for now, that means my illustration blog, my music blog, my facesheadsbodiesperson one, discarded diagrams, and the old antiphons thing, etc., etc. are alllllll gone.

Wayback machine only grabs the first page, if it grabs anything at all, so it’s basically useless here.

Will post updates as I slowly recreate some of them. The music one’ll be first, ’cause that’s the only one I still used.

Discarded Diagrams

A new blog project:

discardeddiagrams.tumblr.com (gone)

ryliejamesthomas.net/discardeddiagrams/ (archive)

I have a box of books, I think all thrown away by RMIT libraries, and I’m going through and scanning all the interesting diagrams / technical drawings / and such.

VueScan is a really neat program if you have an ‘obsolete’ scanner you want to get working.

And XKit is a massive time saver if you are doing a lot of Tumblr stuff, especially tagging.

Responding

As a simple way to keep myself working while I’m studioless over the holidays I’ve set myself the goal of making one response per day. You can follow the project at antiphons.tumblr.com (gone), though it’s only early days yet—day two!

It’s changed the way I engage with my days: I find I am looking at things more; thinking about them; trying to take something from them.
