What did you accomplish today? [2011–2019]

[Frislander]

Saturday my hard drive failed...
Sunday I made a big fire in my garden to burn green waste...
Sure It would always burn if I burned my docs lost in paper form ...

Just sad.

That's why I do backups every now and then.

When I get to making a PDF on LaTeX I have a physical USB to put copies on, but I acknowledge not all have that option.

[Nachtuil]

Revised the case system of my necromancer language to have primary and secondary cases so that certain cases give more refined meanings when used together and I don't actually need six more full fledged case markings by just combining some. This almost sounds like bragging but it was a mess before.

[lsd]

Hd failure is constitutive of informatics...
It's not my first big failure...
And it bases my conlanging activity, nothing written in digital manners...
And more, nothing written at all...
Nothing memorized out of natural brain...
Sorry to all that sedimented data, for ever lost...
Nothing important (all family's photos has been saved at first symptoma...)and life is an ever new beginning ...
I regret a big spectacular lost in a big fire...

Nice!

What did you make the diagram in?

Inkscape, I basically took the wiki diagrams.

For diagrams like this, I'd recommend www.draw.io, it's free and online and is designed for these type of things and does them all exceptionally well.

it's ... online

I don't like using browser-based software. I much prefer having a program I can download and use, especially offline. But I'm weird.

[Egerius]

You're not the only one thinking like this.

Chrome did let me put a standalone one on my computer somehow. I have no idea how I got it, but it's cool and basically a standalone.

Mango chutney! (I simply love "chutney" as a word (mot-en-bouche), a concept, a culinary dish, a way of life -- let there be chutney (which may sometimes go on cheese!)

The school here always sends boxes of fruit for certain holidays (in this case, 5/1). Lovely, but I'm not a family of five. Fuji apples can stay a while, but a box of (8) mangoes? How can one person possibly manage before they go 'round the bend? The answer: Chutney! So it was a chutney afternoon I'm just not so adept at this. As it stands, I would so put it on a dollop of vanilla ice cream. Next to a piece of meat? Still hard to call. Let the flavors develop overnight and see what happens.

Edit: Okay, we are now happy with our chutney. Ice cream, a chicken breast -- bring it!

If I can get it together, I'm gonna post my conlang for the first time tonight (at least introduce it). Nervous about it, but hopefully it won't be a complete failure

The other answer, of course, is go all Pinoy on those mangoes! Mix up a fruit smoothie in the AM with one. Then peel and dice one with a little salt for a snack. At lunch, slice another and spread a little fish paste on the slices. When you get home, eat one off the rind like you would a watermelon. Save one and dry it --- dried mango is awesome! After dinner, make up some halo-halo. Well, that's five and you're only on day one! If you don't like purple bean ice cream with shaved ice (and mangoes!), maybe try some sticky rice and mango slices?

I think you'll need more mangoes!

Yay, looking forward to it!

Just for fun, I thought I'd share some Híí morfofo sketches I was playing around with today:

óh + ımoo → ȯimoo
óh + ınoo → ȯinoo
óh + owoo → ȯȯwoo
óh + óewe → ȯȯewe

íh + ımoo → iimoo
íh + ınoo → iinoo
íh + owoo → iiowoo
íh + óewe → iiwewe

eı + óh + ımoo → eıwėimoo
eı + óh + ınoo → eıwėinoo
eı + óh + owoo → eıȯȯwoo
eı + óh + óewe → eıȯȯewe

eı + íh + ımoo → eıriimoo
eı + íh + ınoo → eıriinoo
eı + íh + owoo → eıriiowoo
eı + íh + óewe → eıriiwewe

By the way, acute-accented vowels é í ó are high tone while overdot vowels ė i ȯ are low tone.

I like the fact that low tone obscures vowel length cos low-tone vowels generally always lengthen.

[alynnidalar]

I really need to do some stuff with tone, one of these days.

It looks quite neat! I absolutely love the aesthetic of everything Híí -related.

[Egerius]

I think the first conlang for the World of Urland will be quite boring: Old Frisian combined with Low German sound changes.
More effort than just researching early Middle English, less effort than Wínlandisch.

That's why I do backups every now and then.

I have a different method of dealing with hardware failures: I never create anything I'd regret losing.

[Lao Kou]

The Géarthnuns verb "galokh", recently debuting on another thread as "lace, spike (add alcohol, drugs, or poison to), slip a mickey to (+ dat)" breaks the Géarthnuns lexical G-count from the number of the Beast 666. 667 and upward!

That's a little depressing when you think about it.

trying to recover my deleted midifiles collection surfing the web...
Life (and conlanging in that way) is an ever begining again...
It's always time to reinvent the wheel....

Phonemic /ʃ/ sh has somehow made its way back into Híí, but don't tell anyone...

What, I can't hear you.
