16th century Irish hipsters | Irish Archaeology
I recently spotted what appeared to be remarkably modern looking haircuts in Albrecht Druer’s woodcut of 1521 AD[i]. This image shows a group of Irish soldiers[ii], most likely mercenaries, who were fighting on the European continent during the early 1520s. I soon discovered that, far from being unusual, this distinctive hairstyle was actually very popular amongst the native Irish during the 16th century.
Referred to as a ‘glib’ this style involved the hair at the back and side of the head being trimmed short, while at the front and top it was allowed to grow long, resulting in a large fringe, which fell down over the face.
Review: Kemet
Like the tomb robbers of old, Quinns has cracked the seal on our copy of Kemet, heedless of all those snakes, scorpions and ancient Egyptian curses to bring you our definitive review.
But there's a problem! This game is the spiritual sequel to Cyclades, yet another svelete, gorgeous game of warring gods from the same publisher. Who will come out on top, in this divine duel? Should you buy this is you already have the other? And why is the SU&SD supercomputer so rubbish?

Mattia Migliorini: Melany WordPress Theme 0.5.7 RC2
Despite of its development proceeding very slowly, Melany is still here and goes ahead day by day. Today I announce the second Release Candidate of this WordPress Theme.
There have been a lot of code improvements since the first RC and I think it is ready for the submission to the WordPress.org Theme Directory. In the mean time I’m looking forward to the 0.6.x Series, which will bring new features and better code quality, although its version number could become 1.0.x
What’s new in Melany 0.5.7 RC2
As stated before, the second Release Candidate of Melany brings in various fixes on different aspects. Let me highlight some of them:
- Sticky posts highlighted in Home Page (this kind of difference is temporary, I’ll find a better way to highlight them);
- Fixed critical bug that broke the header when a custom menu wasn’t defined. Now it displays only the Home link because of other conflicts, but I’ll fix it later on;
- Added text domain where missing (necessary to properly translate the theme);
- Other fixes to the navigation menu;
- Fixes on mobile devices.
I hope you enjoy this new release, that greatly improves Melany. Feel free to download it from GitHub for now, use it, and maybe contribute to it.
