Writings

As an author he is primarily known for his pastiches and his many faux "autobiographies" of imaginary persons. Two examples are Souvenirs du marquis de Floranges (1811-1834) (1923), and Le Duc de Morny, prince franc̦ais (1925).[2]

Olympics

He participated in Fencing at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris and won the bronze medal in the foil.[3] He was defeated by fellow French fencer Henri Masson in the semi-final. Twelve years later he participated in the art competition at the Summer Olympics in Stockholm.[4]

gollark: If they were using some bizarre exotic encoding but not actually encrypting it it would still be *possible*, if *very hard*, to decode it without the actual docs.
gollark: Presumably the encoding pagers use is well-known/documented enough that someone implemented a software decoder.
gollark: That's an example of it, I guess? You turn... what is it again... 3 bits into 7 bits and can convert it back even if it's scrambled a bit.
gollark: I feed `multimon-ng` audio data from the `rtl_fm` program (which demoduldates FM from the RTL-SDR) and it decodes the POCSAG-whatever protocol(s) and outputs the text again.
gollark: "Encoding" is just converting the data into a different form in some way... in this case I guess the text on the pagers to POCSAG-something.
