<p>To get UTF-8 to work when sending drafted messages in <a class="reference external" href="http://www.gohome.org/wl/">Wanderlust</a> with

<section id="attending"><h4>Attending</h4>
<p>Clockwise round the table, starting with the DM at 9 o'clock:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>P.D.F. as DM</p></li>
<li><p>C.A.H. playing Onchu</p></li>
<li><p>T.K.B. playing Droston a'Seamus</p></li>
<li><p>B.MC. playing Polonius, Onchu's rowdy young cousin from Riverton</p></li>
<li><p>M.A.F. playing Bartha</p></li>
</ul>
<!-- J.H., playing Eirnin. --><p>J.H. was unable to attend, alas.</p>
</section><section id="introduction"><h4>Introduction</h4>
<p>It was decided that Whaler would guide us to the elves, but first we
needed to sweep back by town to tell them where we are going and pick up
Eirnin. Whaler refused to accompany us into town (since he's scared
of humans), so we arranged to meet Whaler outside the tomb of the
Dwarven hero.</p>
</section><section id="actual-play-1"><h4>Actual Play</h4>
<p>As we descended from the high grove of the Lady of the Valley, Droston
and Polonius saw that there was no trace of where they have been — no
path, no tracks.</p>
<section id="keep-your-voice-down"><h5>Keep your voice down!</h5>
<p>We reached the bridge, where Brock was still directing the building of
new defenses and Sheriff Artair was directing defenders.</p>
<p>We went over to Sheriff Artair and Bartha started explaining, quite
eloquently, what we knew, but the Sheriff had difficulty believing us.
Droston went over to Brock, and after he got Brock's attention (and
been told to keep his damn voice down and not panic folks) he told
Brock about the fey and Lady of the Valley and the approaching Goblin
Horde. Brock said it was just like he remembered from his youth.
Brock and Artair conferred, we convinced them of the truth of the
matter — the Horde is only days away, and their vanguard is probably
only hours away.</p>
</section><section id="well-we-re-in-it-now"><h5>Well, we're in it now!</h5>
<p>So, the Sheriff decided someone had to stay at the bridge to hold off
the vanguard as long as possible. We, of course, ended up as part of
the lucky group, along with three archers, two melee fighters, and
Brock, who refused to let these goblin scum trample over his home
without a fight.</p>
<p>The brush had been cleared back 85 feet from the bridge. Brock had his
dwarven crossbow, and there were plenty of arrows. One of the melee
fighters had a hammer, and one an axe. There were a couple of extra spears.
We <span class="company">Wolf-banes</span>'s each had one rye whiskey bomb. There are two <strong>(3,
P.D.F?)</strong> wagons with walls attached blocking the bridge, and walls
running along the town side of the ravine. The walls all had ledges
so we could fight over the top.</p>
<p>Two archers along the river wall, Onchu with a melee fighter at the
wagons across the bridge, Brock, Bartha, and another archer along the
upper wall, and Droston and a melee fighter at the big tree beyond the
upper wall, to ensure we weren't flanked.</p>
<p>Two spears. Five horses were left to help in our escape, should we
survive long enough.</p>
</section><section id="the-fight"><h5>The Fight</h5>
<p><strong>[Unfortunately, I can't remember most of the details of the battle,
so what follows is merely parts of the battle — T.K.B.]</strong></p>
<p>Bartha and Onchu heard a wolf-like howl in the distance.</p>
<p>Large wolves crossed the ravine. Goblins <strong>[with ranged weapons?]</strong>
followed. Hobgoblin archers began shooting from just beyond the
cleared area.</p>
<p>Melee fighter with Droston was killed. When Droston got back to the
fighter, he picked up the fighter's axe and said that he'd carry it in
honor of the brave volunteer.</p>
<p>Goblins with large mantlet, with an ogre behind. Crashing and
breaking of wagons.</p>
<p>Polonius mainly stayed on the rock wall assailing the enemy with
arrows. His elven chainmail was crucial in keeping him from taking
damage from the enemy archers. He assisted with the dire wolves and
gave the killing blow to one of them.</p>
<p>Strange goblin in the spiky black armor attached Droston. Spit at him
and hit him in the neck. Strange goblin eventually ran away, just
like last time.</p>
<p>Droston unwisely charged to attack the ogre, and was struck down.</p>
<p>Polonius gave the killing blow on the ogre.</p>
<p>As Droston lay dying Bartha attempted to bind his wounds and bring him
back from the brink of death, but was so overwhelmed by the terrible
battle that she failed. Luckily, Brock strove mightily [and spent the
Hero point] and brought Droston back from the brink of death. Poor
brave, foolish Droston lies sorely wounded.</p>
</section></section><section id="aftermath"><h4>Aftermath</h4>
<p>We each got <strong>+750 XP</strong>.</p>
<p>The XP total on Onchu's character sheet didn't match the spreadsheet, so
the DM split the difference and gave Onchu <strong>+250 XP</strong>.</p>

<p>Someone once said something along the lines that to those in the
Western world who don't speak Japanese there is an alternate
universe of FOSS <a class="footnote-reference brackets" href="posts/2009/09/02/wanderlust-apel-semi-and-flim-development/#foss" id="footnote-reference-1" role="doc-noteref"><span class="fn-bracket">[</span>1<span class="fn-bracket">]</span></a> development in Japan <a class="footnote-reference brackets" href="posts/2009/09/02/wanderlust-apel-semi-and-flim-development/#china" id="footnote-reference-2" role="doc-noteref"><span class="fn-bracket">[</span>2<span class="fn-bracket">]</span></a>, and every so
often things from that universe just appear in the Western FOSS
universe as mysterious foreign objects. Ruby seems to have made a
solid connection between the universes, but many others are less
approachable.</p>
<p>Wanderlust development and the development of the emacs packages that
it depends on (APEL, FLIM, and SEMI) feel like that to me. Some of
them have web pages, but they're usually quite out of date. It can be
difficult find to their CVS repositories, and even more difficult to find
the browse-able web interfaces to their CVS repositories. Every time
I want to look at the code, I have to figure this all out again, hence
this post.</p>
<p>There was a <a class="reference external" href="http://lists.airs.net/wl-en/archive/200905/msg00099.html">post</a> on the Wanderlust English-language mailing list from
Katsumi Yamaoka <<a class="reference external" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>> on Wednesday, 27 May 2009 that gave
the location of the APEL, FLIM, and SEMI cvs repositories, and
mentioned that development in the FLIM and SEMI repositories was
taking place under the flim_1_14 and semi_1_14 branches, respectively.
The post also said that the place for discussion about APEL is the
APEL mailing lists:</p>
<blockquote>
<div class="line-block">
<div class="line"><a class="reference external" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></div>
<div class="line"><a class="reference external" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p>To subscribe, send an empty e-mail to <a class="reference external" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> and/or
<a class="reference external" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.</p>
<p>The place to discuss FLIM and SEMI is the EMACS-MIME mailing
list:</p>
<blockquote>
<div class="line-block">
<div class="line"><a class="reference external" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></div>
<div class="line"><a class="reference external" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></div>

</blockquote>
<p>To subscribe, send an e-mail containing “subscribe YOUR NAME” in its
contents to <a class="reference external" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> and/or
<a class="reference external" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.</p>
<p>So, here are the CVS commands I just used to check the various
packages out:</p>

<p>So, last night I flopped a book down on my computer. I didn't notice
it at the time, but it popped off the “N” key. Luckily, when I opened
it this morning all four pieces were still there.</p>
<p>Directions: Top means toward the display, bottom means toward the
touchpad.</p>
<p>The pieces, for
lack of better nomenclature, are:</p>
<ol class="upperalpha simple">
<li><p>The key surface (the part your finger presses on)</p></li>
<li><p>The inside part</p></li>
<li><p>The middle part, with small horizontal posts on the outside left
and right edges part way back from the top D. The outside part,
with small horizontal posts</p></li>
</ol>
<p>You need to figure out how this pieces fit together and what parts
catch where.</p>
<p>It took me a lot of fiddling, but eventually I figured out that it if
I put the outside part on top of the middle part, flattened them, set
them in the space where the key goes, and gently slide them toward the
bottom that the bar at the top of the middle part and posts on the
outside left and right edges of the outside part would slide under the
cuts in the thin metal pieces that stood up from the base of the
keyboard. Then I hooked the bottom of the inside part under the bar
on the bottom of the middle part and gently pressed down on the front
of the inside piece until it clipped on to the bar of the on the front
of the middle piece. Once this was done, I had, viewed from the side,
an X with a bar across the top. Then I slide the key surface onto the
X from the bottom, making sure to hook the back of the X under the lip
on the bottom underside of the key. Then I gently pressed down on the
key surface until the clips on the front of the key surface clipped
onto the front of the X.</p>
