Buena nueit! Soy Hips, procedo a hacer la #presentación. Soy #artista ( #ilustración , #dibujo , #tattoo , hago escultura, #ceramica ... pf yokese, multidisciplinar en vdd) he currao de profe, diseño, guía turística... Me mola el #cosplay, la #recreación historica, los #videojuegos y #leer #sagas de #fantasía . Estaba buscando un espacio con menos contenido intrusivo ni publicidad pa pensar que sigo en el 2010 de las rrss y estoy explorando el lugar.

My teammate @kylemcmaster is working on a series on NServiceBus. His latest post is on sagas.
It's been awesome to see these used on a client's project - tracking the state of an application over long periods of time.
Kyle has a relatable situation in this post: https://bit.ly/4dDN50b
Happy Book Birthday!

What happened to young Hervor, from "The Waking of Angantyr," a short story by Marie Brennan that appeared in MURMURS IN THE DARK, Book View Cafe's ghost stories anthology?
We're going to find out. THE WAKING OF ANGANTYR.

While it was wonderful to handle letters by #JRRTolkien, they do not give much insight into his #fantasy writing. In fact the subject of most of the letters is Tolkien the status of #Icelandic or #OldNorse literature, especially the #Sagas at #Oxford.
I have attached a fraction which gives an idea about the nature of these letters.

De pronto, se me ocurre que intentar #narraciones largas y entrelazadas del tipo que sea es un error cada vez más grande. No porque no sean populares, sino al contrario: porque las grandes empresas que ganan más con ellas hacen cada vez más, cada vez peor, y los demás nos resignamos a que no haya nada más que consumir.

Je suis en train de lire "#auborddeleau", un classique #Chinois du XIVe siècle (compilé par #ShiNaian). C'est extraordinaire, je ris aux larmes tout seul en le lisant 
Malheureusement en Français on ne peut le trouver que dans la Pléiade mais pour ma part j'ai réussi à télécharger une traduction anglaise (#OutlawsoftheMarsh, traduction de #Shapiro).
Je le conseille vivement à qui aime les #RomansdAventures, les #sagas, les histoires de #bandits et de pochetrons...
