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 @joshavanier @tendigits @prahou since there's no docs for oekaki, here's a little video explaining how the bottom left icon works. I'll get around to writing a guide soon, I promise.

 @neauoire @joshavanier @tendigits Layers! I get it.. though I do not yet know how to switch to gray paint.. I thought my inked dreams became reality with interlisp, then with noodle, and now here we are. They say there is something fundamentally degenerate with falling in love with software. In the case of oekaki, I'll play the part. Thank you. It's a pleasure to watch it grow.  @neauoire @joshavanier @prahou this is great and I'm sure a guide will be a helpful resource to have as well.  @neauoire @joshavanier @tendigits @prahou FLENG 16 has SDL bindings!! Uh oh. @DataPacRat I've just spent the better part of the day going through your website, I was looking for solresol resources and found a trove on it. Thank you so much for collecting all this stuff, I browsed around the other folders too and found tons of fascinating things. I was happy to see you were on here so I figured I'd send you my thanks! @neauoire I love that you found this! After discovering uxn and pouring over the bitwise and adjacent notes I started working on a “language” that encodes as 8bit bytes, that are also musical notation, and written language symbols. Certainly not a brand new concept, but I’m slowly working on my own tiny computer from it and it’s remarkable to see this! Would you mind sharing the source?   @neauoire Two questions come to my mind: 1. Does R2D2 actually talk in Solresol? Friends brought us to their farm and refilled our stores with fresh purple foods.   @neauoire i've been having sooo many plums as part of dinner recently, they're abundantly available here right now :3   |
@neauoire @rek I love the colouring!
@neauoire @rek
Don't know if you know about this, there is a novel by an author I really like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyage_to_Faremido
(read a long time ago, can't really recall the details, need to read again)
@neauoire @rek I love Renee French's avatars for Plan9 and Go
