Well, off to a smooth start I guess!

So... Þis is embarrassing!
I was supposed to uppload a wee note here, but apearently just forgot to.
Sorry 'bout þat.
Anyway, HI! I'm Xꞟl!
Or Xül, or Xyl.
Depends on what's easier to write.

I'm intrerested in a lot of þings, among þem an old international auxilliary language called Volapük, which I'm trying to learn. Þere's where the name's from.
Oþer þings i'm into are old-fashioned computing, TTRPGs, Heraldry, Serial Experiments Lain, &c.
I also, in caſe ȝou havn't noticed, I have firm (if ſilly) opinions on English Orthography.

Two þings I've almost finished wiþ are þe Volapꞟkator, a tool for translating Volapük text from normal orthography to Schleyer's ſpecial letters,
and a repository of ſpecial characters.

I'm, as I hope you have caught on to, not a very-good-at-wordsy-person as well as A Bit Of A Mess, but I hope that by jumping before I look, by having... OVER A HUNDRED‽‽‽ (þat's way more þan I would've þouȝt!) eyeballs on me þat I miȝt make something useful.
Or, failing þat, at least someþing interessting.

  • Tiȝtened up þe CSS on þe index page, and did some more fiddeling.
    I've also finiſhed† the Volapꞟkator!
    It's for changing the letters "Ä", "Ö" and "Ü" to Schleyer's propoſed forms!
    I hope ſomeone finds it useful :)

    † Well, for ſome meaſure of finiſhed...
    Could ſtill do wiþ ſome improvements.
    Like actually doing þe tranſlation....

    Happy Yule, everybody!
    Þis ȝear has been a pretty bad one for me, all þings conſidered I hope ȝours has been better.
    I want to get back to actualy finniſh þe site (Well... ȝou get what I mean...) next ȝear.
    At leaſt I get to ſleep in a bed again :)

    I hope þis ȝear'll be þe worſt ȝou'll ever ſee!

    It's really late now, but I fixed þe þing wiþ þe Silly Sign Repocitory reaload hack, ſo ȝaȝ me!

    Reading þrouȝ what I wrote ages ago, it feels like þat was anoþer life...
    Hopefully þings'll get better.
