Skunk's current mindrot is to develop a way of writing the Tinish 'Legs' base 4 numeral system from A Fire Upon The Deep.
We know from Chapter 5 that 15 in Tinish base 10 (Foreclaws system) is represented as two triangles in Tinish base 4 (Legs system).

Wow. Vernor Vinge's _A Fire Upon the Deep_ ranks right up there among the very best science fiction I have ever read.
The author's original manuscript is online, complete with his own commentary.

Wow. From someone who should know. Makes Vernor Vinge's 'Rainbow's End' seem scarily prescient. Maybe the first post-singularity AI will develop post-ironic humour and actually manifest as a rabbit. #SciFi #AI #VernorVinge #Technology www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxkB...

Vernor Vinge was a badass.
A Fire Upon the Deep, A Deepness in the Sky and Rainbows End were all fantastic.
He'll be missed

The incomparable Vernor Vinge has passed away. If you can read, and you haven't read Vinge's Hugo Award-winning novels A FIRE UPON THE DEEP and A DEEPNESS IN THE SKY, you should. #VernorVinge

#VernorVinge died yesterday. I got to hang out with Vernor a bit when he was in DC in 2006, and he was entirely lovely. I did an interview with him the following year. reason.com/2007/05/04/s...

RIP #VernorVinge, one of my very favorite science fiction authors. I was glad to be able to see him at Worldcon in 2002.
