Have you finally finished?

Post by **SandChigger** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 6:25 am

What, you've been waiting all this time?

(I didn't figure there was much interest, all in all.)

Post by **Omphalos** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 7:51 am

I was just waiting.

Post by **SandChigger** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 4:31 pm

Oh...my poor babbies.

Here is something you may be interested in.

And/or this.

Maybe (but probably not) this.

Ive also heard rumors of a sci-lang newsgroup on Usenet, but Ive not looked for it yet.

Thank you, thank you.

I've been meaning to join the Elgin newsletter but haven't gotten 'round to it yet. I did join the Conlang mailing list and have registered at some conlang wikis here and there. (The mailing list is REALLY active. I rarely get through all the messages.)

The "FH language and linguistics" page is a mirror of the WP article by the same title.

(And I take the subtle hint.

)

No subtle hints. Just a "gee-whiz, Mr. Wilson!"

What's the URL code for an apostrophe again? I want to fix that fucking link.

Post by **SandChigger** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 11:35 pm

It's

Code: Select all

%27  (percent-sign-2-7)

Here's the fixed link:

Oh hurry up. I think Arrakeen will be open before we see this language thing you're working on.

"Kiss my arse"?

I think I have a flair for languages.

Post by **SandChigger** » Tue Aug 26, 2008 6:08 pm

Dahlink, how could you NOT have flair.

Is that a Greek joke?

Post by **SandChigger** » Tue Aug 26, 2008 10:52 pm

Hmmm?

I just reread your post. I thought you said that he had a flair for languages and I didn't know what that meant. But that is not what you said. You said he had flair. Sorry.

Post by **SandChigger** » Tue Aug 26, 2008 11:17 pm

Owh. OK.

Nope. Was just teasing him (again).

I mean, how could someone be FABULOUS 24/7/52 and NOT have flair.

I'd only give myself a 6 on the fab scale, I just can't bring myself to camp it up.

Post by **SandChigger** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 8:56 pm

A six, huh?

So how does that translate temporally?

Are you fabulous 14:24 hours each day? Or 4.2 days each week? Or 31.2 weeks per year, perhaps?

How does that work, exactly?

chanilover · Post by **chanilover** » Sun Aug 31, 2008 8:34 am

It's not an exact science, it's more like a continuum, with your position varying on any given day.

Post by **SandChigger** » Sun Aug 31, 2008 2:50 pm

Fabulous answer!

Post by **SandChigger** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 12:33 am

Righto...

Thing isn't dead yet (meaning this thing, not the Canadian Guy With The Long Username Commonly Known As Thang); I've been plunking along with it now and then, and I've added a new subdomain on my website for some stuff later, but I'm kinda wondering what to do with it.

Spent a goodly portion of yesterday taking stock, and I'm not happy; doesn't have an organic feel to it, wondering about chucking it all and starting over.

Is anyone else more than mildly interested?

Post by **Omphalos** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 1:28 pm

Still am interested for sure, but waiting for some direction from you. I even started reading Aliens and Linguistics to help.

Post by **SandChigger** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 4:27 pm

Okee-dokee. I'll try to organize some "food for thought" tomorrow and over the weekend.

A Roma character in Tim Powers' Anubis Gates spoke this way. Is this some pig-latin type of thing?

Post by **SandChigger** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 11:02 pm

Hain't read that, but I think I remember you reviewing or at least talking about it before.

Pig-Latin?! How RUDE.

Nah, that's just a wee taste of Solstic (or Soltok or Sysspeak or whatever you will—they won't call it Proto-Galach for a LONG time

), which is still evolving and trying to find a happy orthography....

Any idears?

That's like reading a Pansyass post. All that's missing is twenty pictures of Che in frilly knickers.

Um ... right. Cheirpky it is, then.
