Ich kann mithilfe der #Fibonacci Reihe erklären, warum in der #Entwicklung mithilfe von #Scrum
('Entwicklungsagilität' vs 'Produktionsagilität': #kanban) ein #ProductOwner auf die Umsetzung von Stories (besser: #Epics), die mit '13' geschätzt werden, bestehen muss
- auch wenn sie in '8' und '5' zerlegt werden können.

Any idea for an piece of software that would aggregate all my games from steam, gog, ea, etc. in a GUI, while allowing to lock access to some of these games with a password?

The goal is to allow my 11yo to access all my games except those I would deem inappropriate.

Probably under windows, but linux would be ok... if the games run.

Une idée de soft sous windows qui agrègerait mes comptes de jeux (steam, epics, gog, electronic arts, ubi, autres ?), et permettrait de verrouiller l'accès à certains jeux avec un code ?

L'idée étant de laisser mon garçon de 11 ans accéder à ma bibliothèque de jeux, mais pas à n'importe quel jeu (eg: gta).

3 things about George Roy Hill’s HAWAII [1966]

1. “We begin now!”
2. A letter to James Monroe.
3. They dive into the surf for relief, but they’ll only catch pneumonia and die.

The image depicts a scene set in an interior space resembling a tribal or traditional hut with straw-covered walls and wooden beams. At the center is a person lying on a bed covered with a white sheet. Surrounding the bed are several people of varying attire and appearance. On the left, an older individual with gray hair wears a yellow garment with red stripes, looking towards the bed. Next to them stand two men, one wearing a black formal coat and the other wearing a long dark robe, both appearing focused on the person in bed. A woman in a red dress with white trim seems to be attending to the person in bed. In the background stand several individuals wearing colorful attire with geometric patterns, possibly traditional clothing or uniforms.

Because the stories we tell matter. The stories we highlight matter. The heroes of those stories matter. And the canon needs to expand.

So the #WomensEpics series is officially done. You can find and read all 26 posts here:
multicoloreddiary.blogspot.com

I also made some promo posts. Because I think these epics should also be highlighted, and included in a wider literary canon. Because they have fascinating, complex, amazing women protagonists, and they have a whole lot to teach us.

Today on #WomensEpics: The Nítíða Saga

14th-century Icelandic "knight saga" about a sorceress-queen named Nítíða. Several men try to conquer her, but she defeats all unwanted suitors with magic or sheer force.

Eventually, a prince from India disguises himself to court her. They spend a winter together and Nítíða grows to love him. In the end, she tells him to remove his disguise: she'd known who he was all along.

Today on #WomensEpics: Juliana

A 9th century Anglo-Saxon retelling of the legend of St. Juliana of Nicomedia. While it is a Christian legend, the Saxon storyteller retold it in the style of Beowulf, changing and coloring the story to fit the taste of the audience for evil villains and epic fights. At the high point of the story, Juliana wrestles the Devil and physically beats him into submission.

#WomensEpics: The Song of Grotti

This one is a 12th century Icelandic saga about two giantesses who are captured and enslaved by a Danish king. He makes them turn a giant millstone that grinds out endless riches. When he refuses to give them rest time, or set them free, the giantesses sing a song that makes the mill grind out strife and an invading army. The king's rule is toppled by their revenge.

Today on #WomensEpics:
Matabagka and the Deity of the Wind

This is an epic from the Philippines, in which a brave girl sets out to steal magic instruments that control the wind, to save her kingdom from an invasion.

I loved that Matabagka had a friendly relationship with the wind herself. She called it "friend and partner", and instead of commanding or controlling, she asked it for help and direction.

Today on #WomensEpics:
Chandravati's Ramayana

This is a retelling of the Ramayana by a Bengali poet named Chandravati. She lived in the 16th century, and re-wrote the epic to distract herself from heartache.
Her retelling focuses on Sita's perspective, the horrors of war, and compassion between women that crosses battle lines. It survives to this day in the oral tradition.

The Malay epic of Bidasari

This story is based on the same tale type as Snow White, except it is a lot more adventurous and elaborate. And it features positive representation of adoption, which I was especially happy about!

First up: the Buryat epic of Agu-Nogon-Abakha.

It is about a girl whose brother is killed by a monster, so she puts on his clothes, and goes on a quest to find a way to bring him back to life.

It turns out there are three princesses with magic powers who can save him... she just have to get them to marry her first.

A while ago I did a survey about epics. I asked people which epics they were most familiar with, and which ones they heard of, or studied in school.

More than 200 people filled out the survey, and I just posted a blog post about the most interesting or unexpected results.

In advance of the April #AtoZChallenge I wrote another blog post. This one is about the epics that have women heroes, but I won't include them in the series in April.

To read the list, and the reasons why, visit the blog:

(And if anyone has any suggestions for getting translations for some of these, that would be great 😉 )
