Hi there! I’m Toni Brown, and this is my intro.

Names & Pronouns

In English, and other European languages, and also in Esperanto, you may refer to me as “Toni”. There is no long form, since I deliberately chose a unisex name. If you want to refer to me using my initials “TB”, add the digit string “148” after it: TB148.

In most conlangs, use whatever word you have for “cat girl”. An exception is toki pona, where my head noun is “soweli” and the name is “Toni”.

My pronouns are “ta/ta’s/ta’s self”, but “they/them” is acceptable. “Ta” comes from Chinese 「他」, if you are curious, (I want to write about Chinese personal pronouns here, but that would be too off-topic)

Natlangs & Conlangs

My native language is Mandarin (cmn), and I am fluent in English (eng).

I have also learned Lojban (jbo), Toaq (qtq) and Toki Pona (tok), but I still need a dictionary for the first two.

I want to learn Japanese in the future, but I haven’t started yet.

Hobbies!

I like mathematics (especially combinatorics) and programming a lot. I have participated in Math Olympiad and competitive programming before. (My CodeForces rating is 1900, but I no longer participate there anymore)

Of course, I also like conlanging. I currently have a conlang project called Suhkro, but it has started very recently, so a lot of things haven’t been worked out yet.

A List of Facts

  • 1×2×3×4×5×6×7×6×5×4×3×2×1=10!
  • Turbo the snail can reach the last row in at most three attempts.
  • Heap sort is an unstable sorting algorithm with worst case time complexity O(n log n) that doesn’t require recursion.
  • This is the 3rd item in this list.
  • I’m sorry. The previous item is actually the 11rd.
  • The computer I am using runs Debian 12 (bookworm).
  • I use Rime／中州韻.
  • Iosevka is my favorite font.
  • My favorite color scheme is Catppuccin Mocha.
  • Every item in this list contains a link, and they all link to different domains.

Jadi ! I’m always happy to have more Lojbanists and math nerds here. That is a very fun list of facts. I’m going to have to think of a logic puzzle for you that can be presented without a lot of background. I hope to see your emerging language around. I’m curious what you’ve come up with.

soweli Toni o kama pona a!

Iosevka seems pretty good, although lowercase r being the only letter (as far as i can see) where line width varies makes it just slightly offputting. my sight is drawn to every single r, they call to my eyes in shrill little voices

4

i checked the customization and it seems like all forms of “r” with a vertical stroke on the left have this problem

however lowercase r is not a problem for me and iosevka solves my problem that full-width 汉字 aren’t exactly twice as large as latin in most fonts, so i’m using iosevka (more specifically sarasa gothic)

5

Meta-answer to the puzzle challenge, which will hopefully be interesting, despite any specific instance of it being boring: big 3-SAT problem

6

however, the rules are that you win if you can make me spend 30 min on it. so if i decide not to touch 3-sat problems at all this strategy won’t work

It took me awhile to notice that factorial

Good one, haha. 0 1 2 3.

Same. What input method? Pinyin? I usually use Zhuyin, but I’m also trying to learn Array.

Very cool. :3

psst, you should use hyfetch instead, since neofetch is unmaintained and also hyfetch has pride flags! :)

It is actually inspired by nasin sitelen kalama pi linja lili, but i invented circle=skip because it’s much easier to describe my name as “nimi Tonsi pi kalama Sa ala”

Also, the soweli-with-ears was originally a name glyph, but now that I have changed my name from Antepan to Toni, I am thinking about changing my name glyph to an alternative soweli glyph (soweli2?)
