Introduction to Tibetan Orthography







Introduction to Tibetan Orthography

Introduction to Tibetan Orthography 02/10/2004 02:57 AM

Most K5 readers have seen the Tibetan script--those lovely, angular characters that look like they're hanging down from a clothesline, flourishes above and below. But how does the Tibetan writing system actually work? Here's a brief introduction to one of the world's most dysfunctional scripts.

12/17/2004 06:36 PM

Picked up a copy of The Onion on the street corner in Manhattan and enjoyed this entry, headline "Tibetan Teen Getting into Western Philosophy":

LHASA, TIBET—Deng Hsu, 14, said Monday that he is "totally getting into Western philosophy." "I've been reading a lot of Kant, Descartes, and Hegel, and it's blowing my mind," Hsu said. "It's so exotic and exciting, not like all that Buddhist 'being is desire and desire is suffering' shit my parents have been cramming down my throat all my life. Most of the kids in my school have never even heard of Hume's views on objectivity or Locke's tabula rasa." Hsu said he hopes to one day make an exodus to north London to visit the birthplace of John Stuart Mill.

Introduction to XEN


Introduction to XEN 02/16/2004 04:09 PM
With the hype growing to a feverish pitch about the public announcement of Xen, I thought I would share some insight into the knowledge I've had of the language for almost a year and a half. I'm still under orders not to post the video demonstration I have back to my blog (not because the subject matter is Xen, but because apparently the demonstration is internal to Microsoft... I still don't understand this (expecially now that the cat is out of the bag), but it certainly doesn't stop me from sharing some of the information contained in it. This will be an ongoing post as the demonstration is over an hour long, with lots of code samples to boot.

An Introduction to PHP-GTK


An Introduction to PHP-GTK 08/08/2002 12:59 PM
In this tutorial we will work though the stages of installing PHP-GTK and creating a simple GUI application.

PHP has quickly evolved into one of the fastest growing web scripting languages on the Internet. Serving millions of web sites, PHP has proved itself as reliable, flexible and easy to learn. Many who have programmed with it would agree, that PHP is the ideal scripting language. On the PHP-GTK website, Andrei Zmievski, author of PHP-GTK, demonstrates how the ease and convenience of PHP can be taken to the next level, which is the creation of standalone, cross-platform GUI applications. -- Tiffany Silva

A hacker's introduction to OS X


A hacker's introduction to OS X 01/08/2004 08:34 PM

What is Max OS X by Amit Singh is hands down the best introduction to that operating system I've ever come across. It's aimed at a technical audience, does a very good job of keeping a fair balance balanced when comparing OS X with other operating systems and has taught me a whole bunch of interesting things about the system.

Some highlights:

The rest of the author's site (which bares a striking resemblance to Eric Meyer's classic stylesheet) is worth exploring as well - he has some fascinating notes on advanced Mac programming, a description of his environment of 55 operating systems on one PowerBook and for the hard core programming geeks, 108 solutions to the Towers of Hanoi problem. And if that's not enough, he even has a genuine Donald Knuth reward cheque as well!

As for my own PowerBook, it was due to arrive today but my bank killed the card transaction because it didn't fit my normal buying habits (I'd like to know who's buying habits it would fit). After a series of transatlantic phone calls and the classic statement from HSBC that "you're not supposed to have credit on a credit card" all is well in the world, and the system should arrive tomorrow or Friday. I await its arrival with sticky palms.

An Introduction to LEDs


An Introduction to LEDs 07/01/2004 10:48 AM

led-photo.jpg imageIDFuel has a short introduction to one of our favorite diodes, the LED, providing a short history and "How It Works," as well as linking to some of the stalwart sites like LED Museum and DigiKey. What I didn't see, though, and was hoping to, were some inexpensive LED DIY projects. Until SolarBotics sends me a reprint of the BEAM instructions I've lost, I've got all this solder here and nothing to drip it on.
