Well a couple.<br /><br />Klesperanton uses some linguistic features from both languages. For example the languages uses the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Verb_Subject" title="Object Verb Subject">Object Verb Subject (OVS)</a> word order from Klingon and a whole bunch of characters you won't find on a standard keyboard from Esperanto.<br /><br />The language has a wide range of sounds that the speaker needs to be able to produce including 34 consonants, 9 vowels, 3 semivowels, 2 demisemivowles, 1.5 hemidemisemivowles and 17 diphthongs. Non-Klesperantists may be surprised when confronted by a speaker emiting grunts, growls, clicks, pops and the "kSprit'on" exclamation which most closely resembles a spit whilst humming and whistling.<br /><br />Klesperanton is somewhat rare in the linguistic world because it is a semi-tonal language. Speakers of the language are encouraged to develop their own individual tonal meanings for common words. Typical tones include first (high or singing tone), second (rising tone), third (dipping tone), fourth (falling tone), fifth (double-dipping or W tone) and sixth (the spitting tone). Unfortunately there is no common standard for tones, and this can sometimes lead to confusion among speakers.<br /><br /><br />Useful Phrases:<br /><br />Hello: hA'Salu'GggGhh<br />Goobye: GggGhh'Al'Lala<br />One beer, please: petaQ, BghEghE^^R nuNnUU@!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16752306-7974050419701459563?l=dlutzy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dlutzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400092723731863033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16752306.post-84345181714821626172008-11-03T23:03:00.001+11:002008-11-03T23:09:26.037+11:00Macroblogging is so last year!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16752306-8434518171482162617?l=dlutzy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dlutzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400092723731863033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16752306.post-37686691462624825812007-01-12T22:18:00.000+11:002007-01-12T22:20:45.725+11:00You can now get certified for Microsoft Vista.

Been playing with some software <a href="http://www.phpgedview.net/"> phpgedview.</a> My project is to map out the <a href="http://spikard.dyndns.org/genealogy/"> genealogy of the Royal Family of Amber</a> from Roger Zelazny's series of books.<br /><br />I've been thinking about the limitations of family trees. They are OK to draw if you plot descendancy or ancestry charts but if you try and fit more data in the chart quickly becomes unmanageable, at least in 2 dimensions. Some other people have also been thinking of different ways of <a href="http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/papers/mmcguffin_INFOVIS2005.pdf">drawing family trees</a>. I had in mind a family tree that includes your closest relatives in the most detail, i.e. big, and more distant relatives smaller. The closest to this representation is I think the "fractal" family tree. I also have been thinking about ways of navigating the tree using modern computerized interfaces. Here's something like what I would like to see. <a href="http://www.friendsofed.com/samples/1590591585.pdf"> A flash family tree.</a> <a href="http://www.27bobs.com/stuff/gods_tree.html"> Example = gods_tree.</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16752306-115918373712285506?l=dlutzy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dlutzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400092723731863033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16752306.post-1156748419954321182006-08-28T16:41:00.000+10:002006-08-28T17:11:58.383+10:00Maynard Ferguson, the legendary trumpet player has passed away. He was an inspiration. I never did get to see him play live.<br /><br />Here are five of my favorite CDs to listen to and appreciate the genius.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/656/1599/1600/maynard_cds.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/656/1599/320/maynard_cds.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><ul><br /><li><b>Big Bop Nouveau (1990)</b> - The first CD I ever purchased. Even before I owned a CD player! Highlights include a medley performed on Maynard's 60th birthday tour.

I really like the idea of being able to train your radio station by clicking "I like it" or "I don't like it" on the tunes played to eventually end up with a station that always plays your favorite music.<br /><br />The whole idea of pandora is to discover new music that you'll like right? <a href="http://infavorofthinking.blogspot.com/2006/07/pandora.html">infavorofthinking </a> I do like the music but I haven't really found music I like from new bands I've never heard of before. Do I have incredibly fussy tastes in music perhaps?

Cyber Junkies (or CJs as they became known). The rapid growth in VR technology, combined with the ubiquitous info superhighway meant that a large percentage of the world's population had access to cyberspace. <br /><br />A few individuals found cyberspace incredibly addictive. In its most severe form cyberspace addiction could lead to symptoms similar to those produced by hard drug use: an inability to deal with normal human society and interpersonal relationships (although most had good social interactions in VR), flat emotional responses in RL, unemployment and malnutrition.<br /><br />A common diagnostic test for CJs included a loss of focusing abilities in the eyes and many sufferers expressed a desire not to ever leave cyberspace. At this stage there is no known cure for the CJs condition and the prevalence of the disease is increasing.<br /><br /><hr><br />A decade or so on how'd I go?<br /><br />Well, the Encyclopedia Galactica is wikipedia.org. Often the first keyword hit on the search engine and the practically authoritative source.<br /><br />The addiction is actually for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games. There's a term "Widows of Warcraft" that's apt. <br /><br />VR goggles still haven't really caught on.<br /><br />The Internet is pretty ubiquitous. Its good to be able to pay your bills online and retrieve info on a mobile phone! <br /><br />Although there's a huge chunk of the world's population who don't have such luxuries.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16752306-115141225785623751?l=dlutzy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dlutzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400092723731863033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16752306.post-1148819672920517722006-05-28T22:26:00.000+10:002006-05-28T22:34:32.946+10:00Just spent several hours writing initscripts.

Always have been. I usually carve up my harddisk into lots of partitions and have a couple of versions of Windows, a Linux or two, some *BSD and even some stranger OSes from time to time.<br /><br />Until recently I've used removable harddisk trays and boot loaders to manage my addiction. That is until the <a href="http://www.vmware.com/">VMWare</a> player came along.<br /><br />It's so cool to be able to run multiple OSes at once without having to have a house full of computers.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16752306-114636533944359955?l=dlutzy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dlutzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400092723731863033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16752306.post-1141813025000047912006-03-08T21:15:00.000+11:002006-03-13T22:29:54.116+11:00<ul><br /><li>Jon Faddis - Gloria From The Mass Of St. Bernard - (Chuck Mangione)</li>The tune builds and builds until the last note - <b>high A</b><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/656/1599/320/highAs.jpg" border="0" alt="A above high C" />. Much Props to Faddis. He's an awesome lead player. What a sound. Like a pure bell tone bright and brilliant. This last note is like a laser cutting through the full band and choir. I'm sure the guy sitting in the furthest seat at this live concert would have been blown backwards with his fillings rattling.<br /><br /><li>Jon Faddis - Into the Faddisphere</li>Possibly the finest sounding trumpet album of all time. This recording is superb. I couldn't bring myself to play for a month after hearing Into the Faddisphere. He plays a high G for so long your ears start to bleed and the neighborhood dogs start barking, then finishes on <b>dubba C</b> <img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/656/1599/200/dubbaC.jpg" border="0" alt="C an octave above high C" />.. Perfect control of the instrument.<br /><br /><li>Jon Faddis - I hope I get it - A Chorus Line (soundtrack) </li>One note. One note! One singular sensational note. That's all it takes to identify who's playing lead. Faddis has played on over 300 albums as a studio muso. This is one of 'em. Have a listen to the attack on this <b>high F#</b><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/656/1599/200/highFSharps.jpg" border="0" alt="F# above high C" /> To me it sounds like he hits the note from slightly above to give it extra punch, then holds it a half a second longer than the rest of the band at the end. A lot of jazz players end a screamer with a kind of drop/kiss sound and put their lip into the 'piece to finish it. I do it myself, it sounds kinda cool. Faddis however has such control that he can hit a high note and end it with a slight bend upwards in pitch. I don't know anyone else who can do that! <br /><br /><li>Maynard Ferguson - Gonna Fly Now (theme from Rocky)</li>Classic high note tune. Maynard rips this to pieces. There's no-one else with a sound like his. It's a dry sometimes harsh tone when he wants it to be. But tremendously exciting. I still remember the first time my trumpet teacher at the time played this tune to me. I'd never heard anything like it and it's an inspiration to this day (over 15 years later). <b>High B</b><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/656/1599/200/highBs.jpg" border="0" alt="B above high C" />.<br /><br /><li>Maynard Ferguson - La Fiesta</li>Starts at 100% with Zavod's driving electric piano and builds up to one of the greatest free-for-all trumpet choruses ever recorded. Surely! Maynard pops out an awesome shake on high F# and ends on his high B, high A, <b>high B</b><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/656/1599/200/highBs.jpg" border="0" alt="B above high C" />.<br /><br /><li>James Morrison - Scream Machine</li>Starts with 5 trumpets playing a unison high G. Just the way every tune should start :-) He hits some tasty high Bs in the last chorus and ends on a modest <b>high E</b><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/656/1599/200/highEs.jpg" border="0" alt="E above high C" />.<br /><br /><li>Arturo Sandoval - Alo Chicoy</li>Arturo has it all. Amazing high note chops. Consummate musicality. Wicked finger speed. He can play bebop, electric, standards, latin (of course) and awesome piano. In this tune he rips out a dubba D dubba C riff near the end of the tune and finishes on a wailing (slightly sharp) <b>dubba D</b><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/656/1599/320/dubbaDs.jpg" border="0" alt="D a ninth above high C" />. <br /><br /><li>Cat Anderson - My adorable D</li>Ends on a <b>high E</b><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/656/1599/200/highEs.jpg" border="0" alt="E above high C" /> but Cat can play up at least an octave higher. I was rolling on the floor laughing the first time I heard some Cat Anderson. Is it really possible for the trumpet to play that high? I had no idea. A freak. No regard for the laws of physics.<br /><br /><li>Bill Chase - Bochawa</li>He died too soon. Wild man of the high note trumpet. So many free-wheeling trumpet choruses. Makes me want to give up playing every time I hear him. Bastard! :-) Ends on a tasty <b>High A</b><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/656/1599/320/highAs.jpg" border="0" alt="A above high C" />.<br /><br /><li>Paul Cacia - The end on the world</li><b>Dubba D</b><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/656/1599/320/dubbaDs.jpg" border="0" alt="D a ninth above high C" />. Nailed. Held for way too long. Apparently he does it live. Good grief. <br /><br /></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16752306-114181302500004791?l=dlutzy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dlutzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400092723731863033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16752306.post-1141042244932394462006-02-27T23:06:00.000+11:002006-02-27T23:12:04.610+11:00I'm looking for a library of JSR168 portlets.

Same thing really.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16752306-114069498453191491?l=dlutzy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dlutzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400092723731863033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16752306.post-1137203302224816012006-01-14T12:45:00.000+11:002006-01-14T12:48:22.233+11:00Just announced by google:<br /> <br />100,000 documents for US$ 2,995<br />200,000 documents for US$ 5,995<br />300,000 documents for US$ 8,995<br /><br />Current customers can upgrade for $3,000 per additional 100,000 documents.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16752306-113720330222481601?l=dlutzy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dlutzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400092723731863033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16752306.post-1134991650002854692005-12-19T22:20:00.000+11:002005-12-19T22:31:28.603+11:00<a href="http://services.google.com/appliance/switch/">http://services.google.com/appliance/switch/</a><br /><br />*if you buy a google "maxi", and ditch your existing search engine before the end of this year.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16752306-113499165000285469?l=dlutzy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dlutzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400092723731863033noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16752306.post-1133438124808319702005-12-01T22:52:00.000+11:002005-12-01T22:55:24.836+11:00So who was the first to index my blog? <br /><br />The winner is...

I really hadn't thought about it till now. Will the SEO freaks start working out how to get the number one position in RSS searches? Or have they already?<br /><br />I like the keyboard shortcuts... must learn how to use them in HTML myself. j is down k is up... just like vi :-)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16752306-112955023687010732?l=dlutzy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dlutzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400092723731863033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16752306.post-1129290808159855072005-10-14T21:51:00.000+10:002005-10-14T21:53:28.176+10:00Wheeee this is fun <a href="http://www.planetdan.net/pics/misc/georgerag.swf">Watch George Bush fall</a><br />hdgygd<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16752306-112929080815985507?l=dlutzy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dlutzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400092723731863033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16752306.post-1127645113765932552005-09-25T20:17:00.000+10:002005-09-25T20:48:57.373+10:00Hmmmm search engines. I'm over 'em. I want a <strong>find</strong> engine.<br /><br />I'm looking for the name of a song that has lyrics that go something like "what's going on Mekong" (I think). <br /><br />Google says <a href=http://www.google.com/search?q=%2B%22what%27s+going+on+mekong%22+%2Blyrics> "no" </a><br /><br />Bill says <a href=http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=%2B%22what%27s+going+on+mekong%22+%2Blyrics> "no" </a><br /><br />Yahoo says <a href=http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%2B%22what%27s+going+on+mekong%22+%2Blyrics> "no" </a><br /><br />After about half an hour of searching... I <a href=http://www.fridaysixpm.com/archives/2004_12_01_fridaysixpm_archive.html#110185766575519823> find </a> what I'm looking for.<br /><br />Ah ha! Mekon not Mekong. Roxanne Shante.<br /><br />What can't search engines just find what you're looking for and not what you're actually looking for?<br /><br />Some nice person had blogged the keywords Mekon and Mekong. Maybe there's a use for blogs after all.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16752306-112764511376593255?l=dlutzy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dlutzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400092723731863033noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16752306.post-1127482646289907172005-09-23T23:33:00.000+10:002005-09-23T23:37:26.290+10:00OK, so this is my little pet hate. Date and Time formats. I go in to the blog settings, playing around with the bits you can click and find the date format for comments drop-down. It has the usual mix of bizarre formats but not my favorite. iso-8601 :-(<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16752306-112748264628990717?l=dlutzy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dlutzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400092723731863033noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16752306.post-1127480819197549962005-09-23T23:06:00.000+10:002005-09-23T23:06:59.200+10:00Still not sure.
