Do you mean the “Patterns of Subsistence” website?

As i said, no pressure! Gotta ask though, have you got any idea about the link i mentioned: all i've got is this vague memory from the old old directory of a link described something like "categorizing of cultures by their subsistence patterns". Been looking for it all around, clusty just lets me down... Lright. As i said, no pressure!

Unfortunately, fixing the archives would involve a lot more work than I can justify right now. It looks like the tags don't work quite right, but you can still browse the archives by <a href="http://anthropik.com/archives/categories" rel="nofollow">category</a> and <a href="http://anthropik.com/archives/date" rel="nofollow">date</a>. I know the search function doesn't give you the best results, but it gives you something better than nothing. I fear I can't really justify spending a lot of time fixing these things up right now, though, with so much else to do.

Anyone around? No demands on fellow primitivists to devote time to cyberspace plunkering in a time when there's a lot of more urgent stuff to get sorted out, but i miss the intellectual resources this website (you) used to spoil me with in abundancy. Is it possible to get easy access to old articles? Currently the tag archive on the left doesn't work (clicking on "next page" on the bottom of the page works, but is painstaking when looking for stuff from good ol' 2006...) Also, i've always missed the old extensive link directory of the old red&white pages, especially after several failed attempts to find that "categorisation of cultures by subsistence model (or something like that)" on Clusty... Good luck with whatever you're up to! Hello? Anyone around?

I agree with you on the importance of oral tradition, but I have never really read your publications in the matter. Therefore, I haven't really noticed your recent activities in that field. I also agree that you are doing what most people wouldn't know how to do : it's easier to practice bowdrill firemaking than to recreate an oral tradition. You really have the ability to create inspiring online content ! You say you are in exile, does it only mean "online exile" ? And has your lifestyle changed ? For myself, it has : I got an IT job in Spain (I am a Frenchman). No more learning botanics and desperately trying to make a fire using bowdrill. I can make smoke, though, which is already not bad, and quite nice since you can have so many different smells when you change the wood you use. While I am in Spain, I will be focusing on my favourite hobby, drawing. Hey Jason,

nice to hear from you !

At the moment, I'm focusing on the place where I believe I can have the most beneficial impact: making the Fifth World. I've been keeping notes of the progress on <a href="http://thefifthworldsg.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">my design diary</a>. The more I work on it, the more convinced I become that story games provide a unique opportunity to regenerate lost oral tradition, biophilia and biognosis, and bioregional animism. That's taking up nearly all my time at present: I'll premiere the first public game of <em>The Fifth World</em> at <a href="http://www.eonsreach.com/gasp/gasp_con/gaspcon.html" rel="nofollow">GASPcon 9</a>, Best Western Parkway Center, Pittsburgh, PA on 1 November 2008 at 2:00 PM EDT. We've also been doing an actual play podcast on rewilding story games, <em><a href="http://themythweavers.com/" rel="nofollow">The Myth Weavers</a></em>. I'll probably continue on this kick through most of next year, at least until the official launch of <em>The Fifth World</em> at GenCon Indy 2009. But I'll probably by then have gotten to work on my book. For now, I've decided that these projects take precedence over Toby's People, particularly given my current state of exile. Once I've finished the book, I'll come back to Toby's People. I'm afraid that means you probably won't hear much from me for a while, except as it relates to oral tradition and story games. But it's the work that only I can do, so it's up to me to do it, eh? Thanks for your interest, Jean-Vivien.
