I am not just using hyperbole when I say this moved me deeply. I used to be a great booster of Lojban, but I was just about to give up on this language, thinking that it would never receive this kind of usage. And then two things happened to restore my confidence: Robin took executive fiat over language development work, and now this. The language looks like a fulfillment of its promise to be something that fun projects can be built in. Thank you so much, totus, and Robin. I am increasingly convinced my work over the years has not been in vain. -Eppcott On Sat, Dec 18, 2010 at 3:08 PM, james riley wrote: > ki'e sai totus > > (There, you made me come out of the woodwork to say that!) > > mi'e cmacis > > On 18 December 2010 23:05, Remo Dentato wrote: >> >> No doubt, he *is* awesome! >> >> ki'e totus >> >> >> >> On Sat, Dec 18, 2010 at 11:31 PM, Robin Lee Powell >> wrote: >>> >>> Everybody go, right now, and look at >>> >>> >>> http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=3Dnuzba&bl#ni_onuznoide_= ili2010pi_e12pi_e18 >>> >>> and >>> >>> http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=3DWhat's+New%3F&no_bl=3D= y >>> >>> Basically everything on there is by totus. =A0He just notices things >>> people are working on, and posts about them, *in both languages*. >>> And he updates the front page too: >>> >>> http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=3Dla+lojban.+mo >>> >>> http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=3Dla+lojban.+mo&no_bl=3D= y >>> >>> in both languages. >>> >>> It's like, ya know, he's actually *using the language*? >>> >>> And he does it regularily, without any kind of feedback or praise. >>> >>> So here's some praise: these thankless, boring, regular tasks are >>> what keep projects like this going over the long term, and I >>> couldn't be happier that someone is taking such good care of this >>> one. >>> >>> totus: go you. >>> >>> -Robin >>> >>> -- >>> http://singinst.org/ : =A0Our last, best hope for a fantastic future. >>> Lojban (http://www.lojban.org/): The language in which "this parrot >>> is dead" is "ti poi spitaki cu morsi", but "this sentence is false" >>> is "na nei". =A0 My personal page: http://www.digitalkingdom.org/rlp/ >>> >>> -- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Grou= ps >>> "lojban" group. >>> To post to this group, send email to lojban@googlegroups.com. >>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >>> lojban+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. >>> For more options, visit this group at >>> http://groups.google.com/group/lojban?hl=3Den. >>> >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group= s >> "lojban" group. >> To post to this group, send email to lojban@googlegroups.com. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> lojban+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/lojban?hl=3Den. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "lojban" group. > To post to this group, send email to lojban@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > lojban+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/lojban?hl=3Den. > --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lojban" group.
