  • Font for composing Lushootseed

    At the recommendation of David Beck, I have installed a TTF font from http://www.languagegeek.com/. It took a few minutes for me to figure out how to get it going, but it was pretty straightforward after that. Here are some quick instructions for those of you running Debian variants such as Ubuntu. Fetch the zip files…

  • Lushootseed characters

    Here are some of the characters used to represent text in the Lushootseed languages. This is an imperfect representation. There doesn’t seem to be a COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER W, so I’m using a second character in these cases. I also can’t find any fonts that render a c with both a caron and a…

  • A quick update – I’m a grad student!

    Hey all! I’m sorry I haven’t been very active with my packages recently. I all-of-a-sudden started grad school and have been swamped with studying. I also started a contract and have been busy trying to learn a new codebase while contributing something other than snark. I promise I’ll get back to packaging IronRuby and IronPython…

  • Well, that was an eventful day!

    *whew* I did a bunch of things yesterday. We took our kindergärtner to her first Friday at her new school (and were about 10 minutes tardy. oops). We then took our toddler to a nearby playground with swings and slides and let her expend some energy. After she had been sufficiently exercised, we walked back…

  • Looking to get Iron* and the DLR into RedHat

    I sent an email to the Fedora Legal list asking whether they will accept software released under the MS-PL license. My friend and former colleague, Brett Lentz mentioned that he was concerned that the Fedora folks might not accept software released under the MS-PL. So I asked. I also bcc’d a certain troll on said…

  • Zelda and the girls play

    This was far too difficult to post. I lost my username/password for youtube. Anyone remember my name? :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuDdzdDjCPQ

  • CI build server produces Iron Python bins, too!

    Ivan has updated the build script to produce IronPython binaries as well as IronRuby. Get your fresh DLR-powered, mono-friendly, dynamic language implementations here: http://dlrci.colliertech.org/ There are now links to source and binary tarballs as well as source zips on each of the build result status messages: http://ironruby.colliertech.org/integrity/ironruby I’ve been putting some effort in to getting…

  • I was going to write an opinion article….

    But then I thought better of the idea. Anyone who still takes bn seriously after the recent terrorist actions is likely not going to be swayed by facts, proof of their hypocrisy, their total lack of participation in the community and failure to engage with campaigns they claim to support. Rather than taking the time…

  • Parsing English Language (if you consider IRC logs to qualify)

    Haha. I wrote this on October 3rd, 2006. I started logging IRC conversations in 2005. I’ve got lots from #perl and #mono. I wonder if the n’ere-do-wells who frequent those channels will mind me using their public commentary to build an english language parser. I’ll make it “open source,” of course. Erhm, I mean Free…
