FW: Useful Unicode tool in Mac OS X [from TEI-L]
by Dan 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

A verry useful tip for Mac users. There is a free utility available for Win machines that does something similar, though not the character maths. I'll post the link later. -----Original Message----- From: David Sewell Date: 2/9/04 14:58 To: TEI-L(a)LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU Subj: Useful Unicode tool in Mac OS X I just discovered a great and somewhat hidden feature of the OS X Calculator application: it does Unicode display and "math". That is, you can display any Unicode character that your system fonts can display by entering its numeric value, and you can display characters that are plus or minus any offset you want by doing addition or subtraction. It's a useful thing to have if you're working with an XML document containing numeric character entities and you want to know what they represent. To access this, go to "View - Display Format - Unicode" from the menu. If you had a numeric value in the previous display, it will be replaced by the equivalent Unicode character. You can display different characters by hitting the Clear button and then entering a new value. (The display will update each time you enter a numeral, since the calculator has no way of knowing whether you're going to enter a 2-digit, 3-digit, 4-digit or whatever value.) You can do Unicode math by hitting the + or - button and entering a value; the display will update to the appropriate offset from the character in the display. This works for hexadecimal, too, if you start out with the hex calculator.

Heroic Age article of interest
by Daniel O'Donnell 02 Sep '04

Hello all, The latest issue of Heroic Age, an on-line journal, has just been published. I have a small article in there that might be of interest, particularly to novices in electronic editing, containing advice on ensuring longevity of electronic projects. The advice is all fairly standard: <http://www.mun.ca/mst/heroicage/issues/7/ecolumn.html>. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel.

[Fwd: English archives' MSS catalogues]

An interesting and useful looking site. -dan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: English archives' MSS catalogues Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 00:54:58 -0400 From: Juris G. Lidaka <lidaka(a)OSCAR.WVSTATEU.EDU> Reply-To: Medieval Texts - Philology Codicology and Technology <MEDTEXTL(a)listserv.uiuc.edu> To: MEDTEXTL(a)listserv.uiuc.edu In search of information about a manuscript held by the Society of Antiquaries of London, and having oddly not found a catalogue for it in a Big 10 research library yesterday, though I clearly recall having seen one somewhere, or at least having seen a reference to it, I googled and found this wonderful site: http://www.a2a.org.uk/ "Access to Archives" billing itself as "The English strand of the UK archives network." A catalogue entry--based on Ker's MMBL but going somewhat beyond it--was there, much to my joy. I share the information of this site with you. Though I prefer a catalogue in my lap, because I value browsing, this served the immediate need. Still, to quote our founder, we are getting there. -- Juris Juris G.

Forgot to add
by Daniel O'Donnell 25 Aug '04

25 Aug '04

I forgot to say that we want to make sure we leave space for comment on any form we make. I really thought Murray's comments on its strengths and weaknesses, and particularly areas for improvement were exactly the type of thing we want to get from referees. And just to make sure we're all clear: though we may continue with this idea of identifying *accepting* referees, these will only be the people who agree, and who have actually recommended final publication; all intermediate and negative comments will be anonymous unless the referee insists otherwise. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Department of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge Alberta T1K 3M4 Canada Tel: +1 (403) 329-2377 Fax: +1 (403) 382-7191 e-mail: daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca Web-Page: http://home.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell The Electronic Caedmon's Hymn: http://home.uleth.ca/~caedmon

[Fwd: Voynich MS article in Wired (TAN?)]

Apologies for cross posting. -dan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Voynich MS article in Wired (TAN?) Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 10:07:02 -0400 From: Amy West <medievalist(a)W-STS.COM> Reply-To: Medieval Texts - Philology Codicology and Technology <MEDTEXTL(a)listserv.uiuc.edu> To: MEDTEXTL(a)listserv.uiuc.edu Sorry if this has already been mentioned, or if it's a bit too far afield: In the September 2004 issue of Wired there's an article (pp. 112, 114, 116, 121) on Gordon Rugg's de-bunking of the Voynich MS. The Wired article focuses on his methodology, not the MS, but it mentions his article on the MS in the journal _Cryptologia_ published earlier this year. I think medieval studies folks will be interested in the Wired article discussion of his method -- "the verifier approach" -- used for problem solving and examining "expertise gaps" as well as the article on the MS. ---Amy West -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Department of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge Alberta T1K 3M4 Canada Tel: +1 (403) 329-2377 Fax: +1 (403) 382-7191 e-mail: daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca Web-Page: http://home.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell The Electronic Caedmon's Hymn: http://home.uleth.ca/~caedmon
