 | Hello. You are receiving this message because you wrote into Tumblr about a posting problem with your Queue. Late last night and this morning, Tumblr experienced a problem where Queued posts were posted rapidly rather than at their assigned Queue posting interval. Tumblr has now fixed this problem and it should not occur again. Unfortunately, we do not have a way to remove or revert the posts that were published from your Queue sooner than they should have been. We realize that this has caused you inconvenience and we are extremely sorry for that. We can only offer our deepest apologies and promise to work so that this does not happen again. |
I manually put each of those posts back in queue. It’s the third time it happens this year : there were problems with the queue feature back in February and March 2010.

| And a separate problem is that when “reblogging”, the original source on Tumblr is hard to track down. I try to be scrupulous about linking to the original writer/creator of things, but Tumblr sites sometimes make that hard to do, or make it hard to even notice that what you’re reading/looking at originated on someone else’s Tumblr site. |
Reblogging is fast and effortless. If the author of a Tumblr blog (or any other blog for that matter) doesn’t take the time to track down the original source of the quote or picture he’s interested in, it will get lost in the reblogging process (for example, try to find the original artist of a picture published on ffffound!). There’s a reason why Skandalon release only two posts a day : providing adequate references can be a time consuming process. But without them, this archive won’t be a proper archive. And I’m not saying that everyone should do this. It’s a personal choice. But then again, for it to be a choice, one would have to take the time to think about it : do I want to know who’s behind this nice illustration? Do I want to spend time to look into it? Do I need the reference? What could I gain from it? And so on.

SKANDALON : First Year Anniversary
On December 23rd 2008, exactly one year ago, Skandalon published its first post : a quote by Charles Bukowski about the joys of Christmas.
There are now a thousand posts to explore : you can browse the archive or use a viewer (images only : Tumblr Gallery, TumView or Tumblr Mosaic Viewer).
Many thanks to those who inspire me, help me on occasions and generously share their comments. Enjoy your holidays.

| The Greek word skandalizein comes from a verb that means “to limp.” What does a lame person resemble? To someone following a person limping it appears that the person continually collides with his or her own shadow. |

| Le mot grec skandalizein vient d’un verbe qui signifie « boiter ». A quoi ressemble un boiteux ? A un individu qui suivrait comme son ombre un obstacle invisible sur lequel il ne cesse de broncher. |
