The Oera Linda book
In today's Trouw: a short article on the provenance of the Frisian Kalevala, the Frisian Ossian: the Oera Linda book. It turns out that this one, long known to be a fake, of course, has, in fact, been faked by no other than Piet Paaltjens, one of the better Dutch poets. In the nineteenth century, of course. Brian Aldiss is going to be so right.
In other news, I've decided to make a start on integrating littlecms into Krita, complete with support for icm profiles and calibrated displaying of images and conversions between color spaces. This takes a fair bit of user interface work, too, which always takes more time than one would guess.
