[MR] Stefan's Florilegium for July

[Olwen the Odd]

Greetings to the Gentles across the Known World,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for July, detailing what is  new in 
the Florilegium this month.

If you are thinking of making the pilgrimage to Pennsic next month,  you 
might want to take a look through the files in the PENNSIC and  the 
SCA-CAMPING sections. There are a number of files there from camp  
sanitation to showers to various Pennsic history stories which can  make 
your trip more enjoyable.

Three weeks ago I got laid off from my job at Dell. Any donations you give 
to the site will help me defray the costs of keeping the Florilegium going 
during this time. Also I have recently set up a profile for myself on a 
business networking site called LinkedIn, http://www.linkedin.com . My 
address there is: http:// www.linkedin.com/in/marksharris If you feel that 
my actions through the years and my dealings with you show attributes that 
an employer would be looking for in an employee, I would appreciate a 
recommendation. I've been told that recruiters often consider such 
recommendations when looking for new employees. You will need to have a 
profile on LinkedIn to do this, but if you aren't on LinkedIn many of you 
may want to consider it for your own business networking purposes.

Thanks,
  Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past sixteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been  collecting 
bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail  lists and articles 
submitted to me by their authors. In order to make  this information 
available to others, I have placed this information  in a series of files I 
call Stefan's Florilegium.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an  article that 
would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send  it to me for 
possible inclusion in the Florilegium. Contact me for  more details.

I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping  me 
maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials,  editing and 
web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more  details.

For those who would like to help support the Florilegium project in  another 
way, I have added a PayPal donation button on the top page of  the site. Any 
donations, while not tax deductible, do help pay the  overhead costs of 
keeping the site running.
