I eventually want to extend my dictionary client to give English definitions of Latin words. Not sure when I'll get time to do that but it will get real nerdy when I do.

It's Interesting that Bede describes his own times, in the 720s or so as "the apathy of our times" in contrast to devout monastic traditions from 630s. It seems like no matter how far back you go, someone is longing for the recent past and thinking, "What degenerate times we live in now." | https://othala.goeshard.org/library/bede/iii/chapter-5/

Snorri tries to reconcile his ancestor's paganism with his own Christianity: https://othala.goeshard.org/library/edda/prose/prologue/in-the-beginning | A common thing with Snorri is that he wants to unify threads that don't necessarily line up which makes him very unreliable at times. Still interesting.

I like my new front page background: https://othala.neocities.org | it's sometimes frustrating to find a background that I like due to all the AI spam of today, but once I find the perfect one, it's very satisfying.

No new content in that last update, but I added backgrounds to all the pages now. It's extremely hard to find good backgrounds now that the Internet is filled with AI noise. :(
