Tentaclii in January

31 Thursday Jan 2019

Posted by David Haden in Housekeeping, Odd scratchings

Well, another month has nearly gone on Tentaclii. Snow and crisp ice powders the ground below Tentaclii Towers, and the sky across the valley is an icy blue. But thankfully my typing fingers are warm, and in January 2019 the blog had 7,000 words of daily blog posts + many pictures.

Including: my new discovery of details and pictures for Lovecraft’s encounter with a bas-relief maker in Salem prior to “The Call of Cthulhu”; details of where one might (perhaps) find a published Wortman cartoon showing a good portrait of Kirk (of the Lovecraft circle) & his Chelsea Book Shop; a new pictorial survey of the Rhode Island School of Design including my newly-found picture of the Greek and Roman sculpture gallery interior as Lovecraft knew it in his boyhood; many notes and links for new books and scholarly essays and papers; details of a new free high-quality graphic novel of Lovecraft’s life; and several links to relevant online archive and in one case free audiobooks. Free research tools for independent scholars were also noted, with Paperwork being open source software for searching inside your PDF collection, and my JURN open access search-engine has returned to its former URL. There were also posts and links relating to the comics artist Moebius, to R.E. Howard, and one for Poe as a character in fiction.

If you can support Tentaclii on Patreon, please, then that would be very welcome and encouraging. The end of January saw new Patrons emerge from Norway and France, and so I now have 8 patrons giving $52 a month. All appear to be Tentaclii readers, as my hopes appear to have been unfounded that patrons might also be found among the readers of Digital Art Live magazine or users of JURN. Despite the quality of those two projects.

If you can spare just $1 a month via Patreon, please, it would be very welcome. Or you can just promote Tentaclii to your forums and groups, or do the same for one of my books. Many thanks!

The return of jurn.org

I’m pleased to say that I’ve regained jurn.org after a hiatus — and thus the main Web page for my JURN open access search-tool returns, as does my Poser and Daz Studio 3D creativity blog.

The return of Morton

26 Wednesday Dec 2018

Posted by David Haden in Housekeeping

≈ Comments Off on The return of Morton

I’m pleased to see that the Kindle ebook edition of Letters to James F. Morton has returned to Amazon UK and USA. The ebook had vanished in the summer. I’ve corrected my recent post on Lovecraft’s 2018: a year in brief review accordingly, and the text now reads…

“Several ebooks vanished from Amazon, such as Lovecraft’s Letters to James F. Morton, and H.P. Lovecraft: New England Decadent. So did the Arthur C. Clarke biography, which is of interest re: the early Lovecraft influence. The Morton letters later returned to Amazon, at the end of the year, but such vanishings suggest it is perilous for scholars to assume that once an ebook is published it will always remain available.”

Open Lovecraft updates

06 Thursday Sep 2018

≈ Comments Off on Open Lovecraft updates

My Open Lovecraft listing has updated, with a basic 2016-2018 survey of ‘open access’ scholarly and academic work which is free and public. About 25 new links added, as yet with minimal commentary and fill-out.

The rest of the links on the page haven’t yet been link-checked, so they probably have some link-rot. Around 15% link-rot is usual on academic papers on the open Web, after a couple of years.

Free Stuff

≈ Comments Off on Free Stuff

A new Page has been added to this blog, Free stuff. This collects all my various freebies, plus PDFs hosted for guests. All links should now be working, if they had previously been broken by failed domain names etc. There may be a couple of lurking freebies I’ve forgotten about, but they’ll be added in due course.

Checked the links and repaired/deleted as needed, on my “Lovecraft on the Web” Directory. About fifteen links have “vanished amidst a tiny vortex of unwholesome bubbles”.

Apparently Tentaclii’s “Allow people to post comments” checkbox was unchecked in my WordPress. Strange, and I’m not sure how it switched itself off (probably a WordPress update) but it’s fixed now. Comments are open for 14 days on new posts.
