<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gil-galad, post: 3067871, member: 44154&quot;]I&#039;ve been so busy for some time now running the Facebook group Ancientscoins as administrator with three other admins. It truly is a lot of fun for me now days, as it was tough dealing with drama at times, but hey, who doesn&#039;t have drama once in awhile, right? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve also been working on my photo galleries and website which has been a ongoing progress from the early days of my collecting when I started at CCF (Coin Community Family) and then moved here to CoinTalk with the rest of the crew.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/ancientwhitesheet/index.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/ancientwhitesheet/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/ancientwhitesheet/index.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This site is two years old, maybe three, still early on but I do have a few things here to read and think about.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just released my Ancient Coin Visual keyboard which is a visual aid to copy characters from coins and books, as well as some font sets that have never been added to a keyboard before of any kind. It&#039;s useful for detail IDing coins and quick attributions, as well as reading a coin on the fly anywhere you might be. Some font sets don&#039;t show on all computers and cell phones. Since this is a new addition, you can expect bugs and issues until I manage to work them out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Font sets currently supported are Greek, Latin, Phoenician, Russian, Armenian, Arabic, Aramaic, Syriac, Kharosthi. Kharosthi is a difficult font set to implement because it has transform vowel characters where KA for example, A is inherent so you have I,U,R, E, O. So KA can be KO, KE, KRx, KU, KI. And so the actual merging is the problem and so I&#039;m looking into it because there are a lot of characters that ain&#039;t supported, but can be managed by just putting the vowel character right after the main character. For now.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/index.php?cat=31399&amp;page=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/index.php?cat=31399&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/index.php?cat=31399&amp;page=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my Forum gallery. I&#039;ve done a substantial amount of work to it because I really love coin galleries and I want mine to be well organized with many coins. Hopefully other people like them too.</p><p><br /></p><p>My Tantalus account, I&#039;ve only added some coins to it but otherwise I haven&#039;t done much with it lately. Here are my grids for those that haven&#039;t seen it before.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/coins/grid288.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/coins/grid288.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.tantaluscoins.com/coins/grid288.php</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/coins/grid356.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/coins/grid356.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.tantaluscoins.com/coins/grid356.php</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I originated from here so I hope that no one is mad at me for not being here for a long time but the truth is that I&#039;ve been really busy. I said that the last time too, which was around Christmas 2017. I got one coin and two books from Secret Santa and I can&#039;t be thankful enough because it was one of the few gifts I received and it made me happy. Not bullshitin&#039; either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
