Re: new webpage

Well, I've put up a draft page for Pidse (my Ygyde derivative). Not much
info up yet; I have to search the archives to get more (some of it was
created on-the-fly in our earlier discussion on the language). Promises
of a GMP will probably be the last kept, though on the GMP-page-to-be,
I'll at least try to give a few rough generalisations on what happens.

The webpage, subject to the moods of the server, is up at
<http://zsau.firespeaker.org/Conlang/Pidse/>. The link to the conlang
dictionary is presently broken but may well either disappear or be fixed
before you've visited it, so basically nothing exists ATM barring that
page. If you see squares/&#503;s/&#305;s in the language's name, that's
because you can't display wynns, dotless-is, or both. Sorry :(

The webpage is valid XHTML and hopefully valid CSS, but that's
meaningless to some browsers. I've tested it under a recent Mozilla
(Galeon), Opera 6 for Linux, Konqueror from KDE 3.1 and Lynx. Hopefully
Internet Explorerers will get something useful, but I can't check it out
right now. Tell me if you get something horribly broken and wrong, if
you would.

More shall be forthcoming.

On an unrelated note, in our earlier discussion on maths and such, John
complained about the use of 'double prime', when I suddenly realised
today that, other than here and in other internetty places discussing
the character, I'd never come across either 'prime' or 'double prime'.
When are they used? Is it another name for the dashes in f'(x) and
f''(x) (which are read as 'the f (double) dashed of x' IME)?

Tristan.
