Today, Timo and Cizra released their animation short __lai citno melbi pinpedi__. You can [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1710885982433758647|watch it on Google Video now]! If that title sounds familiar, you may have seen [http://perpetuum-immobile.de/komo.png|this comic strip] before.



In other news, the same Timo has been busy creating Jbobac, a Lojbanic audio board that anyone can post to. Just point your browser to [http://jbobac.lojban.org/], and join the action!

[http://xkcd.com/c191.html|Welcome, xkcd readers]! Join some ((Lojbanic Forums)). The Lojban-speaking community loves xkcd, so getting xkcd'ed is as good as getting Slashdotted, Dugg or Farked. The author of xkcd is expressing a sentiment similar to Groucho Marx's statement, "I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members." :) We can definitely laugh at ourselves, and exposure to xkcd's target audience (math, linguistics, and sarcasm) will probably result in at least one more participant in our hobby.

See ((jbonunsla 2006)) for details, including our stellar Lojbanic guest list and schedule of events. We now have two rooms to put you up in if your expenses are tight. You can still register after we send in the group registration, but it will cost more. It might be the most fun Lojbanic meeting ever. I'm serious, now is the time to get in on this! -Eppcott

Lojban was mentioned in [http://online.wsj.com/google_login.html?url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB115802923001560290.html%3Fmod%3Dgooglenews_wsj|an article in the Wall Street Journal], "How Hartmut Pilch, Avid Computer Geek, Bested Microsoft",

by Mary Jacoby. The free sample text made available online reads as follows:



^BRUSSELS -- A proposal here to create a new European patents court has the support of Microsoft Corp., Siemens AG and many other giants of Western industry. But can it survive an attack from Hartmut Pilch?



A 43-year-old linguist from Munich, Mr. Pilch speaks Chinese, Japanese and an artificial language called Lojban intended to eliminate ambiguity and promoted by some programmers. He is the unlikely leader of a movement of self-styled computer geeks out to sink a patents plan they say would stifle software programmers.

Have you visited the land where Lojban is spoken? It's called ((samxarmuj)), meaning "computerized imaginary universe". It's a text-based world on the internet, where you can operate a character using commands in either English or Lojban: the online software is bilingual. Lojban is like the language of magic in ((samxarmuj))--speaking it can bring objects into existence and give them form and function.



You don't even need a plane ticket. Just [http://teddyb.org/cgi-bin/moo_ssh.html|click here] and use the password "moo" to log in as a guest until you have your own account. Commands are typed in the bottom-most part of the window. Guest accounts are limited to using English, so type the "register" command to get your own account. It's totally free.



More information, including other ways to access samxarmuj, is available at the wiki page about ((The Lojban MOO)).



Intense labor on the part of many skilled programmers in our community has brought forth one of the most exciting venues in which to use Lojban that this language has ever had. Today, the software leaves Beta. It is with bated breath that we launch this massively multiplayer system and declare it ready for the public. But now we need to massively populate it.



We are currently summoning new mages of every skill level. Come build your own part of the land. Although you do not have to speak Lojban to adventure in the land as it forms out of the nothingness around us,

all spells must be cast in correct Lojban. Whatever power hears our descriptions of ((samxarmuj)), and turns them into reality, will respond to no other language.



This land also welcome tourists with no skill in Lojban at all. Feel free to ask us any question about how to use the system. With enough interest, we may even be able to establish the Lojbanic equivalent of

a Hogwarts academy for novice Lojban magicians! Who knows? Welcome to ((samxarmuj))! Go native!

As the Secretary, I apologize for the lateness of this announcement,

but I only got full confirmation 10 days ago myself.



[http://www.philcon.org/2005/|Philcon - The Philadelphia Conference of Science Fiction and Fantasy] has agreed to have a room set aside

for LogFest 2005!



Philcon 2005 is being held at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

on December 9th-11th, 2005.  That's __IN 26 DAYS__!



I know that's really, really short notice, but if we can get enough

people to show up, they'll do it for us next year too, and hopefully

that relationship will continue far into the future.



People showing up for LogFest __will__ have to buy PhilCon

memberships.  Please let me know if that, or any other aspect of

these arrangements, provides an unacceptable financial burden to

you.  I, and others, are willing to help put up some money for

active Lojbanists who want to come.



We don't know how big the room is going to be yet, but I've told

them we expect about 10 people.

__Complete site overhaul!__  Most of the lojban.org content has been

moved from a set of static HTML pages to a

What is Lojban? is now available for purchase! The lojban.org site is now available, at least partially, in a

variety of different languages.  The vast majority of the site has

been marked up in a way to make easy translation possible, but not

all of the actual translation has been done.  If you want to help,

please contact the webmaster.  Also, there is now a web-based IRC

client available on the Forums page.  The French and Spanish Lojban

lists are now available. A Lojbanic translation program has been

installed.

1030AM EDT on Sunday July 28, 2002 at lojbab's house, 2904 Beau

Lane, Fairfax VA 22031 USA.  There being insufficient notice as

occurs during LogFest.

There was a major (several day) downtime of this site, due to bad

RAM, which in turn caused file system corruption.  The problem has

been solved, and this machine now has a new, larger hard drive, as

well as a completely new operating system (NetBSD 1.5.2).





In addition, since the last update this machine has gotten a much

faster processor and been moved into a co-location facility with a

connection to the internet that is close to 300Mb/s.
