Where do you find these manuscripts? Is it like a website or do you find it randomly??
hey, thanks for the curiosity! lenghty answer below the cut :)
1)
medieval manuscripts are typically owned by libraries and showcased on the library's websites. so one thing i do is i randomly browse those digitized manuscript collections (like the collections of the bavarian state library or the bodleian libraries, to name just two), which everybody can do for free without any special access. some digital collections provide more useful tools than others (like search functions, filters, annotations on each manuscript). if they don't, the process of wading through numerous non-illustrated manuscripts before i find an illustrated one at all can be quite tedious.
2)
there are databases which help to navigate the vast sea of manuscripts. the one i couldn't live without personally use the most is called KdIH (Katalog der deutschsprachigen illustrierten Handschriften des Mittelalters). it's a project which aims to list all illustrated medieval manuscripts written in german dialects. the KdIH provides descriptions of the contents of each manuscript (with a focus on the illustrations), and if there's a digital reproduction of a manuscript available anywhere, the KdIH usually links to it. the KdIH is an invaluable tool for me because of its focus on illustrated manuscripts, because of the informations it provides for each manuscript, and because of its useful search function (once you've gotten over the initial confusion of how to navigate the website). the downside is that it includes only german manuscripts, which is one of the main reasons for the over-representation of german manuscripts on my blog (sorry about that).
3)
another important database for german manuscripts in general (i.e. not just illustrated ones) is the handschriftencensus, which catalogues information regarding the entirety of german language manuscripts of the middle ages, and also links to the digital reproductions of each manuscript.
4)
then there are simply considerable snowball effects. if you do even just superficial research on any medieval topic at all (say, if you open the wikipedia article on alchemy), you will inevitably stumble upon mentions of specific illustrated manuscripts. the next step is to simply search for a digital copy of the manuscript in question (this part can sometimes be easier said than done, especially when you're coming from wikipedia). one thing to keep in mind is that a manuscript illustration seldom comes alone - so every hint to any illustration at all is a greatly valuable one (if you do what i do lol). there's always gonna be something interesting in any given illustrated manuscript. (sidenote: one very effective 'cheat code' would be to simply go through all manuscripts that other online hobbyist archivers of manuscript illustrations have gone through before - like @discardingimages on tumblr - but some kind of 'professional pride' detains me from doing so. that's just a kind of stubbornness though. like, i want to find my material more or less on my own, not just the images but also the manuscripts, and i apply arbitrary rules to my search as to what exactly that means.)
5)
whatever tool or strategy i use to find specific illustrated manuscripts-- in the end, one unavoidable step is to actually manually skim through the (digitized) manuscript. i usually have at least a quick look at every single illustrated page, and i download or screenshot everything that is interesting to me. this process can take up to an hour per manuscript.
---
in conclusion, i'd say that finding cool illuminated manuscripts is much simpler than i would have thought before i started this blog. there are so many of them out there and they're basically just 'hidden in plain side', it's really astounding. finding the manuscripts doesn't require special skills, just some basic experience with/knowledge of the tools available. the reason i'm able to post interesting images almost daily is just that i spend a lot of time doing all of this, going through manuscripts, curating this blog, etc. i find a lot of comfort in it, i learn a lot along the way, and i immensely enjoy people's engagement with my posts. so that's that :)
#if you ever have any specific questions about any of these tools or my strategies feel free to ask or dm me#i'd also be interested in recommendations of databases that are specific to other languages/regions that are neither german nor english#preferably with a focus on illuminated manuscripts#or useful databases that are just not very well known#ask#medieval art#medieval studies#btw @anon sorry for only getting around to answering your ask now#and re: your following message. first of all never apologize for your english skills. like ever#it's a daily struggle for me as well tbh. i never post anything without german/english dictionary tabs open lol#and i feel like i 'owe' it to the tumblr blogger format to write in smooth english#secondly your question wasn't dumb at all! i'm glad somebody asked :)

Qat lets you search for words matching a given pattern. It is the ideal tool for the discerning setter or solver of crosswords and other word puzzles. Try it now! A French-language version of Qat is also available, with the same search syntax. Essayez maintenant! Qat can find individual words matching simple and compound patterns (much like grep, Word Matcher and similar tools); beyond that, it also has an ‘equation solver’ mode that can find sets of words that simultaneously satisfy given constraints. Using this feature you can, for example, find pairs of words that are single-letter (or multiple-letter) misprints of one another, words that share common segments or that differ from one another in specified ways, words containing the same segments in different orders, and much more besides. See the examples below; a more formal explanation of the pattern syntax appears at the bottom of this page.
oh? my god???
#i've wanted this for so long and apparently it already exists? in english AND french???#this is game-changing fr it's going to save me so much time#mark owen if you would like to be kissed on the mouth i am available!!!#cruciverbs#reference#my posts#i was already so excited by the fact that there are separate wildcard operators for consonants and vowels#(something that seems pretty easy to implement and would be so helpful but which my go-to online searching database doesn't have)#and then i looked at all the search syntax options (first link in the post) and now i'm just salivating#this is probably my fault for not hanging out in xword construction fora but they just intimidate me so i go it alone#and probably am missing out on all sorts of helpful tools that would save me time and headaches

ppl defending ai art by completely ignoring the genuine major issues that people have with it and pretending like ppl r just mad because they're Art Elitists and think that art should only be made through Suffering instead of being easy are some of the most embarrassing ppl tumblr has been recommending to me lately
#kris.txt#''erm well claiming that using art for databases is wrong just means you're defending ip laws''#no actually i just don't think artists individual pieces should be used in a way they didn't consent to.#hope this helps#the issue isn't that ppl r ripping off a style or whatever#it's that they're taking work without permission#feeding it into a machine#and then often monetizing the result#it's a matter of consent#if an artist said they were fine with their stuff being used#and was compensated in some way#then it'd be totally fine#or if they used like public domain stuff then it'd be no problem#ai is specifically being used against artists not for them#which is a shame because i do think it could be a good tool

(M:I Dead Reckoning spoilers)
OH
i briefly forgot that cyber crime exists and thought the movie was telling us that Benji straight up killed a man before joining the IMF
#mission impossible#mission impossible dead reckoning spoilers#benji dunn#i think i'd still prefer it being that people joined the IMF bc they wanted to and not bc the other option was life in prison#but this does make a lot more sense#he and luther got caught hacking into the same database like ten years apart#and they quibble about whether it's more impressive that luther did it with older tools or that benji defeated more robust security

The Data Migration Odyssey: A Journey Across Platforms
As a database engineer, I thought I'd seen it all—until our company decided to migrate our entire database system to a new platform. What followed was an epic adventure filled with unexpected challenges, learning experiences, and a dash of heroism.
It all started on a typical Monday morning when my boss, the same stern woman with a flair for the dramatic, called me into her office. "Rookie," she began (despite my years of experience, the nickname had stuck), "we're moving to a new database platform. I need you to lead the migration."
I blinked. Migrating a database wasn't just about copying data from one place to another; it was like moving an entire city across the ocean. But I was ready for the challenge.
Phase 1: Planning the Expedition
First, I gathered my team and we started planning. We needed to understand the differences between the old and new systems, identify potential pitfalls, and develop a detailed migration strategy. It was like preparing for an expedition into uncharted territory.
We started by conducting a thorough audit of our existing database. This involved cataloging all tables, relationships, stored procedures, and triggers. We also reviewed performance metrics to identify any existing bottlenecks that could be addressed during the migration.
Phase 2: Mapping the Terrain
Next, we designed the new database design schema using schema builder online from dynobird. This was more than a simple translation; we took the opportunity to optimize our data structures and improve performance. It was like drafting a new map for our city, making sure every street and building was perfectly placed.
For example, our old database had a massive "orders" table that was a frequent source of slow queries. In the new schema, we split this table into more manageable segments, each optimized for specific types of queries.
Phase 3: The Great Migration
With our map in hand, it was time to start the migration. We wrote scripts to transfer data in batches, ensuring that we could monitor progress and handle any issues that arose. This step felt like loading up our ships and setting sail.
Of course, no epic journey is without its storms. We encountered data inconsistencies, unexpected compatibility issues, and performance hiccups. One particularly memorable moment was when we discovered a legacy system that had been quietly duplicating records for years. Fixing that felt like battling a sea monster, but we prevailed.
Phase 4: Settling the New Land
Once the data was successfully transferred, we focused on testing. We ran extensive queries, stress tests, and performance benchmarks to ensure everything was running smoothly. This was our version of exploring the new land and making sure it was fit for habitation.
We also trained our users on the new system, helping them adapt to the changes and take full advantage of the new features. Seeing their excitement and relief was like watching settlers build their new homes.
Phase 5: Celebrating the Journey
After weeks of hard work, the migration was complete. The new database was faster, more reliable, and easier to maintain. My boss, who had been closely following our progress, finally cracked a smile. "Excellent job, rookie," she said. "You've done it again."
To celebrate, she took the team out for a well-deserved dinner. As we clinked our glasses, I felt a deep sense of accomplishment. We had navigated a complex migration, overcome countless challenges, and emerged victorious.
Lessons Learned
Looking back, I realized that successful data migration requires careful planning, a deep understanding of both the old and new systems, and a willingness to tackle unexpected challenges head-on. It's a journey that tests your skills and resilience, but the rewards are well worth it.
So, if you ever find yourself leading a database migration, remember: plan meticulously, adapt to the challenges, and trust in your team's expertise. And don't forget to celebrate your successes along the way. You've earned it!

I love that I do crossword puzzles often enough that if I say something completely random or that makes no sense, and I ask it like a question, my friends immediately respond with "how many letters" or "let me see" and then reach their hand out for my phone (which is where I do crosswords on)
They all know I'm not against asking for help but I don't like looking up the answers so they don't look anything up for me they just use their collective knowledge, and it is infinitely more fun that way for me lol.
Case and point- (this friend is planning on doing opera professionally in her future)
#pro crossword propaganda#my crossword puzzles#i love crossword puzzles so much you guys#if you want to do more of them i highly reccomend the app by redstone#it has a huge puzzle library with various sizes#difficulties#and authors#it has a built in database to search for things and various tools you can turn on and off to help make solving them easier#there are ads but theyre super unobtrusivse#like one ad after every puzzle you do#and if you turn your wifi off you can still do the puzzles and get no ads#granted you cant use the built in search function because it takes you to the internet#but i dont really ever use that feature

soooo i just finished cataloging all of our books (at least i think so) so here's a chart and some superlatives!
some explanations on the above chart: we use a tagging system for topics, so one book can be in multiple topics (and as a result multiple supertopics). yes, the supertopics are a little strange, but we chose them to best fit our library so that books would be generally well distributed between them. also i really wish i could figure out how to change where the labels are pointing but unfortunately idk google sheets charts that well...
and thats some superlatives for our library. the dates are original publication dates (for the case of Medea, its the publication of that specific translation).
more of this may be coming! if im interested in doing it lol
#the database is in airtable but i exported everything as csv to google sheets for this#unfortunately the chart tools in airtable are somewhat lacking#tbf its a relatively new feature so hopefully maybe theyll add features pretty please :?

i kinda fail to see how ai art in its current inception and majority utilisation is a 'tool' like. a fill bucket is a tool. fx brushes and filters and magic wand selection and line stabilisation are tools. how is plugging prompts into a machine fed on existing works and getting finished-looking pieces a 'tool'
#*deep space noises*#it /couldve/ been a tool but it was not made to be a tool for artists#evidenced by the fact the databases are made by scraping without permission or care#sry im having another 'i want to throttle ai art generators' moment
