More fun stuff with google earth

A while ago I posted a picture and some information about using google earthto display family tree hypotheses. I’ve been doing more things with google earth in the meantime.
One is a .kmz file for Australian languages. Justin Lo has been working on my Pama-Nyungan grant over the summer and he did a lot of the [...]

Elan third party items

Those readers who know their linguistic geography of the Lake Eyre Basin will note that with a few exceptions, this is pretty much exactly the same as the relative locations of these [...]

Toolbox 1.54 (the ‘for mac with parallel/crossover version) seems to work pretty well under this arrangement, although keep in mind that I don’t actually use interlinearlisation at the moment, so I didn’t test [...]

Link time

Some links from the RNLD list and elsewhere:

Daryn McKenny posted about some updates to Miromaa. It’s now possible to import from other data sources! Good stuff.
Wamut posted a story which speaks for [...]

Praat and Sendpraat on a mac
