Sobre mimMathematician. Classicist. Entrepreneur. Art collector.
Sobre a minha bibliotecaAreas include language and literature. Many of our books relate to our other collecting interests, such as African and Gandharan art and Chinese furniture. Some books come close to forming collections in their own right, such as vegetarian cookbooks from around the world.
All the books we have at present should be entered and I am trying to keep up with new ones. Tags are still in progress, sometimes only recording where books came from when entered. In particular, tags that subsume others are often missing.
Our house is also full of magazines. So far, I am only cataloging special issues, complete runs, bound volumes, etc. I do not have a good strategy for the rest yet. The same goes for auction catalogs.
I have some bound material from the early days of the ARPANET and AI that I will try to catalog as I uncover it.

Palm Desktop does the job for me. I've downloaded the xls file and
lt_import.sh --record-encoding ISO-8859-1 gives me the most useful version,
but æøå turns into (3/4) (? bottom up) (large OE ligature).
I've seen this kind of garbage before though, so this may or may not be
the PalmThing applications fault. The Palm Pilot character set is based
on Windows codepage 1252? If I'm correct, this means that
Unicode æøå are utf-8 encoded as æ ø Ã¥ and I'd hoped that they ended up
as codepoints 230 248 229. What appears on my Zire 71 looks like codepoints
190 191 140 to me.
I haven't looked so much on what happens without the record-encoding option since
that looked worse.
This is not a bit deal since I can easily recognize my books and PalmThing is
a great help. I'd just like to look a bit nicer.

I really like the PalmThing application. Some of the Danish characters æøåÆØÅ don't survive the trip though and turns into rather weird characters instead. Could you spare a minute or two to explain which character conversions are involved? I use linux and can easily convert the .xls file if only I knew what was going on :-)

Thanks for your ever appreciated contributions in the different groups both of us belong to.
I'm very impressed by the size and content of your library... Is the picture made of several snapshots you did at home?
Also, I wonder if you ever read anythink by Jacques Roubaud, qui était un mathématicien comme vous, mais aussi un membre de l'Oulipo fondée par Queneau.
Yours,
François

My interest in Partridge is from a lexicography point of view but I am also interested in WW1. Additionally his autobiography apparently includes childhood/youth in New Zealand and Australia, which are collectively where I come from. So the book seemed a good fit all round!

And if so, what period of his life does it cover?
The only autobiography I was aware of was Frank Honywood: Private which I have been seeking for some time.
Thanks.
