Being in China, I lately had to customize my keyboard layout so I can input french accents on my qwerty keyboard. I am using the standard X input method to do it and I found out it was really powerful.
The plugin “Did you pass Maths?” that I am using to prevent spam had an annoying bug: rejected posts still incremented the comment count. So I have made a little program to update my database with correct number of comments.
Here it is.
最近（Nihongo Benkyoのせいかな？）、たくさんの日本語のスパムを受け取った。Bogofilterが日本語だと、あまり強くなくなる。時々、面白いのある。たとえば、これが今日もらったメール：
<女と言う生き物>
うん。＝いや。
いや。＝うん。
たぶん。＝だめ。
私たちに必要よ。＝私が欲しいの。
あなたが決めて。＝答えはもう分かってるでしょ？
話し合いましょう。＝文句があるのよ。
それでいいわよ。＝私は不服よ。
この台所使いずらいわ。＝新しい家が欲しいの。
私のこと愛してる？＝買いたいものがあるの。
もうちょっとで準備できるんだけど。＝言っとくけど，ずいぶん時間かかるわよ。<男という生き物>
ハラ減った。＝ハラ減った。
眠い。＝眠い。
疲れた。＝疲れた。
うん。その髪型いいね。＝前の方がよかったかな。
その試着した服良く似合うよ。＝なんでもいいから早く選んで，家に帰ろうよ。
映画でも見に行かない？＝終わったらエッチしたい。
バンゴハンでもどう？＝終わったらエッチしたい。
退屈だね。＝エッチする？
愛してる。＝エッチしよう。
俺も愛してるよ。＝よし。言ったよ。さあエッチしよう
スパムが面白くて参考になるときあるんだね。
In the process of making my daily internet activities (reading emails through IMAP and a webmail, accessing to my bookmarks with del.icio.us…) accessible from any computer connected to internet, I have installed Gregarius, a web-based feed aggregator.
Feeds can be organized by folders, categories and tags. It seems to use a lot of AJAX. What I liked too is that anyone can read feeds (unless you protect your installation with a .htaccess) but only the administrator can mark news items as read. It does not require access to CRON.
Prior to Gregarius, I had tried out Planet Planet which was clearly too limited for my use as there’s no way of classifying feeds.
The result can be found here.
I have finally decided to yield to temptation and start my own journal!
I somehow felt the need to express myself and wanted some kind of log for my various activities on Internet. I think I’ll mainly write about computer science and chinese and japanese language among other things.
I’ve decided to write in English because, thanks to free sotfware, I know more and more people from all over the world and I would like them to be able to read me. I may also write in French sometimes or attempt to write in Japanese or Chinese in certain circumstances!
Hope that it will interest a few people!
