Attentive readers have no doubt noticed a lot of backdated posts suddenly appearing. My apologies to future historians hoping to chronicle the day-by-day thoughts of twenty-first-century medieval bloggers, but my policy in general is to let the datestamp reflect the day when I started the post, not when I finished it, unless I’m post-dating for automagic scheduled publishing.
The start of the semester just hit me hard this time, and lots of posts went half-finished when I realized that, oh crap, I forgot to make the photocopies of the Venus of Willendorf, or something similar. I think I have it all back under control now.
