South Sister Climb

Posted on by

I took Katja to climb South Sister. We made our attempt on September 17th. We left Eugene on the 16th and camped on OR-126. Made it to the Dee Wight observatory for sunrise.

Took a stop in Bend at the grocery store for yogurt for breakfast.

I wasn't sure if we were going to summit and down in one day or if we were going to camp around Moraine Lake and summit the next day. The camping area on T36 and the trail to Moraine Lake is slightly out of the wind but has lots of prickly grass. Not a super smooth place to camp.

Broken Top from T36

We started up TR36.1, joined TR36 and marched to the top — almost. We started at about 5500 feet elevation and ended just at about 8,000 feet with a distance round trip trek of about 3.84 miles one way (7.68 miles round trip). Great work for a 7 year-old! I need to bring us gloves next time and more food and more water. Finding a backpack for her would be awesome and take some of the weight off of my shoulders. She needs shoes that tie rather than velcro shoes.

In honor of my little girl's seventh birthday I planned an accent to south sister for us.

Lenovo ThinkPads (T530 edition) seem to be my all time favorite laptop... Extremely rugged... I run ubuntu. I'm looking at upgrading to a W530.

In my upgrade process I want to make sure that I am also able to use Zotero with my workflow and either use a remarkable tablet or a boox tablet. Here are some links in that direction:

BCP-47 and sign languages

Posted on by

For the purposes of tagging language resources By language, when a language code for a sign language is used is the default assumption that the language resource is in the visual/video modality, rather than the textual format? Or is BCP-47 agnostic to these assumptions of modality? For the purposes of ANIA repository of tags, is there a specified suffix for the written modality of sign languages?

What is the case for Brail? Is there a script tag for brail? (Yes there is). But the orthographic representation in brail is still ambiguous.

iOS mail app and UNT

It seems that iOS mail app does not work with the UNT servers. This seems to be an overgeneralization. I contacted UNT helpdesk for assistance. I set up my account correctly and then it downloaded one message which stated that the service was blocked on my device. So account creation was successful, but there is something on their end... The UNT help desk was unhelpful in that they couldn't tell me anything except that "sometimes the mail app doesn't work with our servers, we recommend using the outlook app". Well it does work, else I wouldn't have successfully downloaded the email message saying I was blocked...

The best guess I can come up with is that older versions of mail app in iOS are blocked because they have a security flaw in them or UNT has middleware deployed on its ActiveSync connections.
