Sitting in Saaremaa (EE) at a BBQ catching the view on an elvish tattoo… it is a line of a William Ernest Henley poem called Invictus. “I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.”

I just realized that there is only one character difference between #elfish and #selfish. That’s probably why it’s spelled #elvish.

Clever, am I?

"The Tolkien weekend" in the Langlard castle has ended. I'm back home, preparing to leave for Amsterdam tomorrow.

I would like to thank everyone who helped me put this event on and especially Bénédicte Soquet ( https://www.facebook.com/benedicte.soquet ).

I'm having a coffee with a delicious custard tart.

See you all next year (with maybe a bit more photos 😜 ).

I've always loved #PoshGit. It's a fantastic tool for #PowerShell that shows you various symbols related to #Git directly in the prompt, like the current branch, how many files are staged, changed, how many commits you have comparing to remote, and so on and so forth. Now I need something like this but for my #Ubuntu in #WSL. Testing #Starship, so far so good. The only little thing is that it tries to show empty Git prompt even in a directory with no repo in it. But the big thing is that it's cross-platform and cross-shell, it even supports recent versions of #Elvish.

C'est pour les Français. Le château de l'Anglard se trouve dans le village de Mazerier (Allier). Il est classé.
Il y a des chambres d'hôtes.

#tolkien #elvish #tengwar

This is a very short quote from a very long text by Tolkien. He explained how his Tengwar were used for the Old Noldorin (ON) language. You never heard of it? This language does not exist anymore in the last Phase of Tolkien's writings (circa 1949-1973). There is no Old Noldorin in "The lord of the Rings" or "The Silmarillion".

About 1949, Old Noldorin was 'transformed' into his new Old Sindarin language and most of these rules became irrelevant. 🤷‍♂️

#tolkien #elvish #tengwar

Because Life is complicated, Tolkien loved only complicated things.

Many readers find that the story of the "Hobbit" or the "Lord of the Rings" are simple or straightforward would be surprised to discover that they are far from the truth.

One of the most difficult rule to understand of the Tengwar is their flexibility.
The consonant diacritics (3 dots = a; accent = i) can be read as being before or after the consonant depending on the mode used.

Can we please have one standard way to define shell completions, that is compatible with all shells?

I'm moving from zsh to nushell, and it's relatively new, and you have to configure completions by writing a lot of code, including a lot of files, it's a nightmare.

It's easier for older shells like zsh or fish only because other people already done it, and some packages include per-shell completions.

There is @carapace_sh which attempts to do the right thing, but having completions in the other place than actual app is not very good idea.

https://usage.jdx.dev/ is trying to do the same but differently, and it has a way for an app to provide a schema for completions. This is step in the right direction, but not many tools support this.

Has anyone tried to put this somehow on the shell level? E.q. app includes a file like `myapp.completions` , and shell have a module which reads the file and generates a list of completions based on user input.

The right way to do this, is probably by defining a standard cross-platform/cross-shell schema. And it can be read by the shell, or by the tool like carapace or usage...

On the doors it does not say: speak friend and enter. This revelation might come as a shock to some. 😜

The changes that Tolkien made between his first ms and the final drawing are not whimsical. All have a logical explanation, like Mória (mutated Vória) => Moria.
There were three intermediate manuscripts of the Doors. I present only the first.

Wow, I've just learned from a podcast about a new #shell called #Elvish: https://elv.sh/. Seems very promising!

Tolkien's 'tree of tongues', created during his third stage of conception (that's my term for it) for the text called the 'Lammas', published in "The Lost Road" (HOME V).
This is 'the later form' on p. 170 of "The Lost Road".

#tolkien #elvish

Tolkien did not imagine his Elvish languages once and for all. He did not start at 9 a.m. and finish at 7 p.m. In fact, he started all over again at least four times. Each time he conceived a new set of rules of grammar, and imagined new inner histories for the Elvish languages. Tolkien did not start by making a list of English words useful in everyday life that he would translate into Elvish. No. He imagined Elvish words when he felt the specific need to do so.

@hirunatan
Yes it is one of my Horcrux! 😂
But not the oldest one.
I published a fanzine in 1990. I sold it in several Paris’ bookshops, about 200.

Tolkien wrote the Latin language using Tengwar. Tolkien used in fact the Tengwar to write several natural languages beside English.
Below Tolkien's manuscript with my transliteration.
I call this mode the "Latin full mode".

Just searched for the #elvish shell in the repos and saw that #latex has support for the elvish language from #LotR. I mean its latex, of course it has support for elvish, but still... ^^

There is a video of me :) (If you looked - Hi!) crafting a #sheath for a #chefs #knife .

So most of my #crafts are of course much simpler looking than my introduction lets to believe.
But that really only seems so as there are many things that are not obvious when looking upon an item.

In addition to interesting #caveats one might endure while #crafting , you may also get an earful of #estonian #language .
It is said that this is as good as listening to #Elvish . There are English subs!
