Subject: Markers, markers, markers
To: SCAHRLDS [list address redacted]
The question of markers came up again and I did another post about it. Figured I'd share generally, feel free to pass the info around or give your own opinions. Apologies for the US-centric viewpoint, but the American market ( Read more... ) -
It's that time again - the College of Heralds Imaginary roster roundup!
Since it came up over on the SCA Heraldry Chat group on FarceBook, I'm posting the current College of Heralds Imaginary roster, expecting that there will be some new members shortly. However, I like you all, so there's a ( cut for it. ) -
Heralds Imaginary Roster
At long long last, I believe I have a current roster of all the Heralds Imaginary.
There is a cut because there are eighty-three HI titles. ( That's kind of like Eleventy-one. Seriously. Wow. ) -
What Do You Do With the Excited But New Heralds?
At my Building Heraldic Community class at KWHSS, one of the things we talked about was "what do you do with excited but new heralds?" One of the things I recommended was having some low-priority projects that you can give them. If they complete them, they'll learn more about heraldry and it'll be awesome; if they don't complete them, nobody'll ( Read more... ) -
Yet more data!
Having seen the chart things I did this weekend for the Outlands, cortejo gleefully tallied up things for Ealdormere for me for their Peerages (I went ahead and did the Grants as well). These charts have many of the same stipulations as the ones for the Outlands - only awards given by the Crown of Ealdormere are counted.
Note: 2011 is less than half-way ( Read more... ) -
This is more data.
Having seen the chart things I did this weekend for the Outlands, zephyrofgod gleefully tallied up things for Calontir for me for both their Peerages and Grants. These charts have many of the same stipulations as the ones for the Outlands - only awards given by the Crown of Calontir are counted.
( Cut for graphicness. That is, charts. ) -
Data. I got your data right here, babee.
Yesterday, I posted a little bit of analysis of peerages bestowed in the Outlands over time with some pretty graphs. It had some interesting trends, but peerages aren't the entirety of the awards structure, so I went ahead and did the same kind of basic analysis with the grant-level orders.( Cut for graphic images. That is, charts. ) -
The plural of anecdote is not data. This is data.
Yesterday, upon seeing some raw data posted, fosveny did a little bit of analysis of peerages bestowed in the East Kingdom over time with some pretty graphs. This is the kind of thing I've occasionally thought about doing with the data in the Outlands' OP database, so I went ahead and did the same kind of basic analysis with similar (if slightly less ( Read more... ) -
How to Write Documentation
I think this may be one of the best 'how to write documentation' articles I've ever seen, especially with the examples in the link at the bottom. I'd love to see more examples like that in these sorts of tutorial.
Master Terafan Greydragon's "Documentation is not an Obituary".
Found through the Atlantian MOAS links site, which I got to from a link ( Read more... ) -
Because I haven't given up on my dream home entirely ... dream Pennsic home, that is.
