���͓�{��w?��ł�?B

No, I did not cut and paste that from some 'Learn Japanese Quickly' site.

It has been two years since I had started taking up Japanese. Yet, little progress was made, probably due to lack of exercise and practical. My method of learning is spontaneous, burst here burst there; read a little there and check it up on JWPce. JWPce is a nifty little word processor, and can be used to type little Japanese. It is not, however, a Japanese Microsoft Word. But you can cut and paste, if your Windows have Japanese language support that is (If you don't, download it from Microsoft's site.) Currently I only had two fonts that support Japanese; MS Mincho and MS Gothic.

Computer translations are not always perfect. The results are often mind-numbing and hilarious. Should you want to read a Japanese site in a rather unique way instead of translating it, you can choose to go with Rikai. It can be used to read Kanjis, and had been very useful for me. Rikai can also translate from English to Japanese for Japanese.

For the time being, ���Ⴀ�܂�����(If I blog tomorrow, which I'm sure I won't)

Bloggers Meeting and Kuching Jazz Festival


I hope that I can make it to the Kuching Jazz Festival (16-17 October). Why? Some bloggers are attending, including Wena, whose blog offer looks at various restaurants and cafes. One word can describe it: food! If you are interested, visit Wena's blog! (Interested either in the Jazz Festival, Mum-Mum (her blog) or the meeting.

Of Googlism and Names


Played a little bit with Googlism after learning it from Dr. Liew's blog, who learnt it from AuyongTC's blog. My God, that's a lot of referrals! (Referrals increased a site's traffic, which propels it in the search engines. As a result, less popular sites are at the bottom of the list.)

My results:
-nsds3 is a secondary school student with scores of straight a's in pmr
The cat is out of the bag! (This originates from Dr. Liew's blog)

-nsds3 is 229
I don't know that I'm that old. Maybe my memory is failing me. After all, I'm 229! :P
