 Constructor Amanuensis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
The Constructor amanuensis is a Java Program that helps you rapidly generate boring repetitive code to provide a variety of constructors to a class.
Even if the amanuensis could not produce code 100% ready to run, it would be accurate, and safer to use global search and replace on to customise it.
The amanuensis might save this template away, so that you could come back to it, modify the comments, variable names, add new variables, etc, and crank out everything again, without having to edit each piece of it individually.

S.B. Meech was the first to point out that if the son was indeed the amanuensis, and if he worked on the text during the last month of his life, it would make sense to posit an earlier visit to his mother in Lynn, during which he had written the bulk of it (p.
After a four-year deferral the second amanuensis said he could not read the book, and advised that it be taken to another man who had known the first amanuensis and had corresponded with him and might be able to read his writing.
Because of the wish to identify the first amanuensis with the son who returned to Lynn and died in 1431, it has often been assumed not only that the first draft was written in the space of a month but also that the four-year deferral took place between 1432 and 1436.

 Vera   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
Normally, an amanuensis is someone who types up the poet's poems, organizes their stuff, wipes their ass, kisses their ass, etc. Eskimo likes to think that the reader is also the writer's friend for whom the poet is writing.
An amanuensis can also be someone who inspires the poem, a lover for instance.
Eskimo's point of inspiration for this poem came after reading Vera Brittain's autobiography called "Testament of Youth" in which she talks about how her fiancee was sent off to World War I, and in which she shows the vocal and written dialogue between them during the war.

Ideally, an amanuensis (or 'scribe') should be regarded as an efficient writing machine, responsive to instructions and free from the mechanical complexities of keyboards or tape-recorders.
The fact that the amanuensis must be literate in the subject means that the student may feel a little embarrassed about dictating answers to someone he/she knows has a sound grasp of the material.
It is a good idea for the amanuensis to speak only when spoken to, leaving the student in charge of asking to have text read back, or to have the exam questions read out again.

Because writing on papyri was difficult, a group of professional scribes or secretaries arose who could transcribe letters that might be dictated to them; espcially letters as lengthy as Paul wrote.
