Tengwar Challenge 5 : August 27, 2003 : Note 8

OK, one week after the last one, here is the fifth Tengwar Challenge.  Again, words in red are ones I’m not sure about.  There’s only one in this Challenge.  Of course, that doesn’t mean all the rest are correct. You’ll have to click on the “More” link to…

Panther : August 26, 2003 : Note 3

Thanks to my cousin, I’ve been able to play around with the latest seed of Panther.  It is MUCH better than the previous release of Panther.  Much more stable and now supports CD/DVD burning, which was a big problem with the last one.  There’s lots of nice little touches here…

Second Mode of Beleriand : August 21, 2003 : Note 3

Here’s my first crack at writing in the second Mode of Beleriand.  I’m pretty sure it’s correct, except I’m not sure if I wrote “ou” correctly. It says, “People demand freedom of speech to make…

I Hate People Like This : August 20, 2003 : Note 0

Something is screwy with my both my quotes and referrers.  I’ve checked my site’s stats, and it showed the traffic was almost twice as much as July, even though August is only a little over half way through.  I checked the logs, and my quotes script is being accessed A…

Tengwar Challenge 4 : August 20, 2003 : Note 0

This a rather sad poem.  As usual, words in red are the ones I’m not sure about.  It’s longer than the previous Challenges, so in order to see it, you’ll need to click on the “More” link below.

My Site in Opera 6 for Mac : August 20, 2003 : Note 0

Well, Opera finally released a new version of their browser which works with Panther.  I was able to check out my site, and it renders everything correctly except the navigation!  What’s up with that? Plus, it renders form buttons and pulldown menus with a CSS-defined outline, but draws…

Zombie Infection Simulation : August 19, 2003 : Note 2

If you think I have a lot of extra time on my hands, check out what this guy did on his free time.  It’s called the Zombie Infection Simulation.  It basically is a Java applet that shows what it would be like for a city of…

More Bombings : August 19, 2003 : Note 0

I’m wondering how long it will take before the Iraqi people get sick of the bombings and sabotage.  They’re finally getting a taste of real freedom (which is scary when you haven’t had any in a long time), and some bands of Saddam loyalists and foreign asswipes are trying to…

The Owl & The Pussy Cat : August 19, 2003 : Note 3

I’ve written The Owl and the Pussy Cat by Edward Lear in Tengwar.  It’s the longest piece I’ve written so far.  I can tell I’m getting the hang of this because I’m getting faster in both writing and reading Tengwar. In this poem, there weren’t really any words…

Tengwar Challenge 3 : August 18, 2003 : Note 7

This challenge marks the first time I started using the diphthongs based on Tolkien’s Michael Endorian autograph.  I’m not sure if I did them all correctly. Mode: English
