Year: 2013

I would like to apologize for some site slowness in the last week or two. I think the problem is fixed permanently, but if not, feel free to let me know.

The Latinitas Recens (a dictionary of modern Latin words) is now part of Numen’s core dictionary. You should be able to select it as a source in the source box (bottom right hand corner of the full site). Some interesting features of the Latinitas Recens do not currently work as well as planned, for instance expressions. Expressions (compound terms) are a new feature of Numen that will be incorporated eventually. They will show up when you search on them orbrowse for them. However, expressions will not produce paradigms nor will they be accessible through the word study tool.

Please let me know if you find any egregious errors! I’m sure there will be a few of the normal misspellings that need correction, and no doubt a few words will be in the wrong place.

Within the next week, Numen’s physical server will be moving to a new location — hopefully with a connection about 6 times faster than it’s been over the last 10 months. Of course, it’s not been exactly slow! But I just wanted to get the word out there because the site might be down for a day or two. With any luck, I can minimize that time and also make it happen on a slow day (historically, Saturdays are the slowest days). I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hi, Numen users. I really apologize, even more profusely than last time. It turns out that the “power failure” was a little bit more severe than I first believed. It turns out that the motherboard in the server failed. Not to worry – I’ve replaced all the dead machinery with working parts and it appears that most of the features of the site are up and running. I’ll be restoring other services as I find out about them — but if you happen to see something not working, please let me know right away! Thanks!

My apologies! There was a power failure and I didn’t know the server was down. 🙁 But it’s back up now!
