l'Archivio di Stato di Como aderisce alle Giornate Europee del Patrimonio 2024 mostrando nuovamente al pubblico uno dei suoi tesori più grandi: le mappe realizzate dai disegnatori chiamati, assieme a geometri e tecnici, da Maria Teresa d'Austria per porre in essere la grande riforma del Catasto.
Recentemente oggetto di delicatissimi interventi di restauro, e normalmente escluse dalla consultazione per ragioni di tutela, le mappe saranno visibili sabato.

Anyway, the older I get the more I want to have things on (crochet) lace doilies on the furniture in the living / dining room.
And the bad thing is that I already have access to most of my grandmother's doilies, so I will probably have them with very little effort in the near future.
One of those things may be a model of Minas Tirith, because I may be growing old, but I'm still a nerd. But still. doilies! and tea cozies! I wonder what's next!
- 1: appena venite a conoscenza del merdone, iniziate a pensare alle strategie di mitigazione o risoluzione, annotandone costi/durata e percentuali di successo e copertura.
- 2: nel mentre, andate dal vostro superiore e, con tono fermo e sicuro, dite "[nome], ho fatto un merdone. Questo. Chi devo avvisare? Ho pensato a delle strategie per rimediare, potresti dargli un'occhiata?"
- 3: lavorate assieme a chi è stato influenzato dal merdone per sistemare le cose. Nel mentre, ascoltate tutto quel che vi dicono, annotate ciò che vi ha portato a causare il merdone, e come evitarlo in futuro.
- 4-10: il merdone verrà risolto e potrete tornare a lavorare, avendo una storia in più da raccontare a pranzo.
Cosa NON fare:
- cercare di nascondere il merdone
- cercare di scaricare la responsabilità
- implicare che sia colpa di qualcun altro
Posso certificare, essendo stato sia dalla parte del merdonante che del merdonato, che il metodo funziona alla grande. Tutti fanno errori, ed esistono un sacco di controlli e sistemi proprio per catturarli, e quel che a una persona sembra la fine del mondo per un'altra persona è un'alzata di spalle e una manciata di click (e un cazziatone più o meno leggero, sì)

Been really enjoying learning #Inkscape over the last few days as a replacement to what I used to do in Adobe Illustrator.
Definitely a powerful program for text and vector graphics. Now that I've got my way around it with shortcuts and the like, I won't ever open or pay for Adobe Illustrator again.
It's also ticking the boxes for the type of work I used to do in Adobe Photoshop in regards to graphic design and text layout work for posters and such.

Two Linen Hoods
Posted on September 11, 2024
Tags: madeof:atoms, craft:sewing, FreeSoftWear
I’ve been influenced again into feeling the need for a garment.
It was again a case of multiple sources conspiring in the same direction for unrelated reasons, but I decided I absolutely needed a linen hood, made from the heavy white linen I knew I had in my stash.
Why? I don’t know. I do like the feeling of wearing a hood, and the white linen should give a decent protection from the sun, but I don’t know how often I’m going to wear these instead of just a hat. On the other hand the linen was already there and I needed something small to sew.
My first idea was to make a square hood: some time ago I had already made one out of some leftovers of duvet cover, vaguely inspired by theS , because I have a long-term plan of making one a bit more from scratch1.
I like the fact that this pattern is completely made out of squares and rectangles, and while the flannel one is quite fitting, as suitable for a warm garment, I felt that by making it just a cm or two wider it would have worked nicely for a warm weather one, and indeed it did.
Except, before I even started on the square hood, I started to think that the same square top would also be good for a hood-scarf, one of those long flowy garments that sit on the head, wrap around the neck and fall down, moving with the wind and the movements of the person.
Because, let’s be honest. worn in a way that look like a veil they feel nice, it’s true. But with the help of a couple of pins then you can do this.
And no, I’ve never played that game2, and I’m not even 100% sure what it is about, other than killing people, climbing buildings and petting cats3, but that’s not really an issue when making a bit of casual cosplay of something, right?
Anyway, should anybody feel the need to make themselves a hood or ten, the patterns have been released as usual as #FreeSoftWear: square hoodand hood scarf.
- I’m not going to raise the sheep :D I’m actually not even going to wash and comb the wool, I’ll start from the step just after those :D↩︎
- because proprietary software, because somewhat underpowered computers and other related reasons that are somewhat incidental to the game itself.↩︎
- at least two out of three things that make it look like a perfectly enjoyable activity.↩︎

today my mother mentioned thinking about the croccante (almond brittle) her grandmother used to make.
we didn't have enough almonds at home, nor the time to make proper croccante.
but we did have a slightly stale package of unsweetened cornflakes.
some sugar may have accidentally fallen into a pan, and after it was almost liquid and slightly caramelized some cornflakes may have accidentally fallen in the sugar.
(this finished a meal that had started with some popcorn, in front of a movie, and progressed with bean (and tomato) spreads on freshly baked bread. it's all vegetables so it's healthy, right?)
(oh, and we've had polenta* for lunch. but at least the bread wasn't made with cornmeal :D )

oggi mia madre stava pensando al croccante che faceva sua nonna.
non avevamo abbastanza mandorle in casa, né il tempo di preparare del croccante per bene.
però c'era in giro una confezione di cornflakes senza zucchero un po' vecchiotto.
potrebbe essere accidentalmente caduto dello zucchero in un pentolino, e quando era quasi liquido e leggermente caramellato potrebbero esserci caduti dentro dei cornflakes.
(e questo è stato il dolce in un pasto iniziato con dei popcorn, guardando un film, e proseguito con creme di fagioli (e pomodori) sul pane appena sfornato. Sono tutti vegetali quindi fanno bene, giusto?)
(ah, e a pranzo c'era stata polenta*. ma almeno il pane di stasera non era pan giald)

I wish folks would stop equating size of userbase with "success" of platform, it's never been an interesting metric to look at unless you're talking about megaplatforms that need millions and millions of people so they can just about break even by selling data and eyeballs.
Back in the forum days nobody worth taking seriously was anxious about getting millions of people onto a forum, were they? And those forums weren't "failures" because of that, cuz they still connected people with similar interests together.
Stuff like user safety, fun, sustainability, and sense of community seem more interesting to talk about, to me, when evaluating whether a space is worthwhile to engage with. Raw numbers are boring.

Regalo cintura di velluto nero basata sul cartamodello della cintura edoardiana di Black Snails Patterns, taglia 34 europea.
Zona Varese / Como, eventualmente ci si può accordare per Milano.
È realizzata in velluto nero a coste sottili, foderata di cotone, con teletta di cotone non adesiva e steccata con fascette fermacavi larghe. Chiusura con tre ganci e occhielli sul retro. La lunghezza della cintura, allacciata, sono 66 cm.
Vorrei che qualcuno me la togliesse da davanti, perché si sta prendendo gioco di me e del fatto che io non abbia fatto un mockup — o almeno controllato le misure del cartamodello — prima di realizzarla.
Quando dicono che la taglia 34 è per una vita da 66 cm, con un pollice e mezzo di riduzione, intendono che la misura finale della cintura è di 63 cm.
Senza lasciare spazio per il corsetto stesso e i vari vestiti che si stanno indossando sotto la cintura.
Quando me ne sono accorta ho spostato ganci e occhielli il più possibile, ma non è bastato, sopra ai vestiti con cui la volevo portare arriva *quasi* ad allacciarsi, ma non ce la fa. Probabilmente ridendo di me e dei miei sforzi.
Ovviamente si possono rispostare gli occhielli nella loro posizione corretta per riportarla alla misura finale di 63 cm, ma allargarla ulteriormente è più complicato.
Abbiate pietà di me e fatemi dimenticare questo episodio increscioso senza dover scavare una buca per sepellire la cintura, che le stecche non sono biodegradabili :D

twelve years ago, a painter by the name of anders ramsell painted 12,597 aquarelle paintings of blade runner, shot by shot, of the entire film edited down to ~35 minutes. it took two years of painstaking work, all done in his spare time after work each night.
the video circled around the web for a few years, and quietly disappeared from every single site it was hosted at.
a few months ago i spent a few hours digging for it, and finally found a copy of the original file.
i'm not sure how long it will last over at IA, so enjoy it while you can. it is a true achievement. 🙏

A thread commenting on what happened with the microsoft update that prevented linux / grub from booting, worth reading
Trying to do this all from first principles, so:* A freedom-respecting computer should never prevent a user from running software they want to run
But also:
* A safety-respecting computer should never allow someone other than the user to run software that acts against the user
There's no inherent conflict here - the user should be allowed to run whatever they want, someone who isn't the user shouldn't. But how do we tell the difference?

Probably relevant life and body positivity tip from a sewist, pattern drafter and seamstress:
The clothes are the problem. Please try to remember that you are not the wrong shape, size or dimensions. If the shirt doesn't button closed the shirt is too narrow, you're not too wide. If the dress sags at the back it's the dress pattern, not your ass. Absolutely nobody makes clothes that are Actually Your Size unless you custom order or make them yourself. Even then fitting is a skill and an art!
You're not the problem, the clothes are.

Thanks for the advice!
I find the shoulder lines to be the hardest to gauge in historical patterns, probably because I personally tend to be much wider in the back/bigger in the arms, and fitting is still a skill I'm working on.
The original gown can be sort-of seen here: collectionssearchtwmuseums.org…
Where it looks far smaller than the drawings in Patterns of Fashion; it's also discussed in this excellent blog post:
thefashionarchaeologist.com/re…
But I'd love to see more people making her work, from any of the books - they're so interesting.

This morning I've found two of the laces, and there is still a bit of string in the place of the last lace that has been misplaced, so I will probably be able to try it on?
I won't be able to take pictures for a while, it's still quite a busy time.

@rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua to be fair if somebody wants to be efficient at painting they don't use rollers and brushes like we are doing, they use paint sprayers.
OTOH, those require more work in covering the surfaces that don't have to be painting.
Actually, I wouldn't mind a robot able to cover all of the bits that need to be covered with cloth, tarps and masking paint.
