Hi everyone,


I released Ruby-VTK-0.2.0.

http://www.gfd-dennou.org/arch/ruby/products/ruby-vtk/index.html

Ruby-VTK is a ruby wrapper of VTK (The Visualization Tollkit:
http://public.kitware.com/VTK/).
VTK is an open source, freely available software system for 3D computer

please let me know.

Thank you,

Hi Brian,

Yes, I can use telepathy to get your thinking :-)

I developed it, but I don't test it much.
You have to sacrifice yourself for debuging.
Thank you!!

Hi!

Sorry for using ISO-2022-JP but it is essential for this message needs
to contain some Japanese.

^^^^^^^^^

I send this message to the list because not only Seiya Nishizawa may
benefit from this:

Webster's Desk Dictionary of the English Language:

toll(1), v.t.: 1. to ring (a large bell) with slow, repeated
strokes. 2. to announce or summon by this means. - v.i. 3. to sound
with slow repeated strokes, as a bell. - n. 4. the sound of tolling
a bell

toll(2), n. 1. a charge paid for some privilege, as for passage
over a bridge. 2. a payment for a long-distance telephone call. 3.
the extent of loss or suffering resulting from some action or
calamity.

tool, n. 1. a hand instrument used in performing or facilitating
mechanical operations, as a hammer. 2. the cutting or working part
of a machine, as a drill. 3. anything used to accomplish a definite
purpose. 4. a person manipulated by another for his or her own
ends. - v.t. 5. to equip with tools or machinery. 6. to cut or
shape with a tool. - v.i. 7. to work or decorate with a tool. 8. to
drive a vehicle.

My somewhat outdated editions of Webster's Desk Dictionary of the
English Language and Webster's New Encyclopedic Dictionary do not list
"toolkit".

As a rule of thumb, two identical vowels mean a long vovel - this is
pretty much the same in Japanese. One transliteration for おおどり
(大通り) therefore is "oodori"[1]. Two identical consonants
following a vowel indicte a short vowel. One transliteration of the
word あっぱく (圧迫) therefore is "appaku". HTH.

[1] It took me some time to find a word that starts with oo (to make
sure the first "o" is an "お" and then to make usre the second "o" is
an "お" and not a "う". (Could anybody please check if I got the a/an
issue right?)

"NO" to the European constitution means "YES" to democracy, not "NO" to
Europe - presently Europe as a whole is governed by a central committee
while the parliament only has very limited power. Thank you, France.

What is a "vovel"?

I think that it is a little creature, much like a shrew, that spends much of
its time seaching for food, its favourite being worms, that spend much of
their lives a little underground. The vovel hunts for its prey by placing
its long flat nose nose in into the ground and then flicking back strongly
with its head.

HTH,

Ok, I'm beginning to appreciate the lore of the "vovel", but what is a
"nose nose"?

Oh, well, as long as it "flicks like a vovel", it doesn't really matter
how the nose is implemented, does it?

Two identical noses in a row typically indicate a single long nose.

I have the feeling I've stumbled onto the lost stanza of "Jabberwocky"...

Oh, good. My somewhat outdated edition of Webster's Desk Guide to
Rodents doesn't have a listing for "vovel" (it just skips from "vole"
straight to "wombat").

You are right in meaning of starting with "oo".
But actually it isn't "oodori".
The correct transliteration is "oodoori",
and it incidentally has two "long vovle" ;-).

Hello,

Even though I feel the mistake was caused by simple finger slipping,
your article was amusing.

|[1] It took me some time to find a word that starts with oo (to make

FYI, there are a few words to use "oo" for the long vowel.

とおい
おおい
こおり
おおかみ
こおろぎ
とお
とおる

My teacher told me once in elementary school with the mnemonic:

遠くの大きな氷の上を多くの狼とコオロギが十通った
とおくのおおきなこおりのうえをおおくのおおかみとこおろぎがとおとおった
tooku no ookina koori no ue wo ooku no ookami to koorogi ga too tootta.
Many wolves and ten crickets walked on the far away huge ice.

We use "ou" for other words.
Sorry for being off topic so much. But I couldn't stand.

matz.
