I don't know why I've never noticed it before, but the "B" key on the thinkpad is slightly misaligned vertically. It's hella distracting now that I've seen it. @neauoire Oh god, that's it. You might just have to throw the laptop in the ocean at this point. At least, I would never be able to unsee that. Made up an ascii encoding in parallel to the Shavian script so I can quickly input it in my little dictionary rom.

@neauoire @rek (read a long time ago, can't really recall the details, need to read again) I saw someone on the sidosi forums mention that the Shavian alphabet had enough glyphs to cover Vincent Gajewski's #solresol stenography script. 𐑴 do example: 𐑳𐑴𐑦𐑵 "theatre" edit: Oh! Vincent's script is based on the Curwen hand signage! haha rek: "You know what's a shame?" Drew a communication lantern for the Solresol #conlang.

@neauoire Interesting. Do you plan to place colored foils behind the shutters, or how do you change the light color? Got the latest slowdive a few days ago, I've been listening pretty much on loop non-stop since. I can't get over how good it is. Perfect background to spending these last few days of summer to draw on. La solsilasol remilami(communication lantern) concept with shutters on a pivot, for Solresol conversation at night. I imagine each pull-handle would hit a little bell tuned to each Solresol symbol to validate each part of the message to the sender. @patchlore Hey paul, I was wondering. You have a lot of voice synthesis projects, and I was thinking. Do you think you could feed a few notes to one of them to simulate someone whistling? Rek and I were looking for a way for characters in Wiktopher to communicate by whistling, and decided on choosing Solresol as the ideal #conlang to use for this specific part of the story. I ended up spending the better part of this week learning enough about it so I could translate a few poems and songs for the book. I've collected a bunch of (extremely COLORFUL) notes from all over at:

@neauoire In David Walton's sci-fi book "The Genius Plague", people infected by a fungus also use a whistling language. @neauoire I've thought for a while about a whistling conlang, but I think that recognizing specific notes is maybe not something everyone can do? I thought maybe low mid high would be very easy for most, but probably too small for anything more than a few code word calls. Maybe there's a middle ground between ease of use and usefulness? In any case I think frequency based instead of note name is more reliable so that there aren't duplicates |
