Timeline for debian list by marjoleink

I got really caught up reading all the interesting stuff on http://ur1.ca/4wh2o http://ur1.ca/4wh2o. I'm not 100% certa…
-
@marjoleink I've come across Arabic, Persian, Chinese and Hindi numerals but had no idea \d could cover those ;)
-
@eightyeight apparently - interesting. So: be sure to know what your language supports!
-
@eightyeight wouldn't that depend on language or library used?
-
oh fun (not): if a window is rolled up, its popup-notices remain hidden #goodtoknow !debian !xfce
-
@inscius I think a refence to the biblical ark is more likely - link to 'archive'
-
@inscius now stop bloody distracting me! I have work to do! :D #shaarli #hacking #responsivedesign
-
@expatpaul I assume that 'lit' is a little more or larger than 'little'
-
@inscius it's 'uncountable' tools (like Dutch 'gereedschap'), so you need 'in stik' (a piece) ark to refer to 'a' tool
-
@inscius here's a very Friesian word that I cannot find any 'connections' for: http://fy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ark ...
-
@inscius Friesians used to be a fairly isolated group living all along the North Sea coast, from present-day France to Germany
-
@inscius me too! (thoug hI can get lost on maps, too ;))
-
@inscius compare English 'cheese'for instance with http://fy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiis ;)
-
@inscius also, linguists usually group Friesian with English and Scandinavian languages rather than Germanic
-
@inscius yes, there are three main branches, but really only the one in (Dutch) Friesland is very alive; small pockets in Germany
-
@inscius and of course Central Asia has both Turkic and Persian cultures :p
-
@inscius culturally speaking that makes more sense, though apparently that still lumps Arabic and Turkish culture together
-
@inscius yes, I understand it, speak it a little, and can read it somewhat (handicapped by a spelling change since I learned)
-
@inscius in most of the many "definitions" it is
-
@theru good morning!
