日本化しよう！

Revised registry code (click here to see the outdated code)for the English OS version of PPC Win2003SE using the Japanese version of wince.nls. This has been tested with ComPOBox for Japanese input and so far works perfecty fine. Time to try a commercial Japanese input software like ATOK I guess.

Things you need…

  1. ComPOBox from here for the Kokugo Jiten.
  2. Nihon Win2003SE wince.nls from here.
  3. Any version of MSGothic (you can even take from WinXP or whatever)
  4. The registry code below…

=============Start==============

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI]

Code for UTF-8 Japanese sites only.

Replace MS Gothic with Arial Unicode MS for fonts of other languages (UTF-8 sites) to be displayed correctly

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI]
"FontLinkMethods"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
"Symbol"="\\Windows\\Fonts\msgothic.ttc,MS PGothic"

Japanese localisation on an English OS

Temporary solution (side effects not tested for) until I can find a new copy of wince.nls from Japan: replace wince.nls with Win2003’s (1st edition) wince.nls. Ensure that MS Gothic font is in the \Windows folder and not the \Windows\Fonts folder.
This is a cleaned up version of this site’s code.

Fulfilment

Posted 2004-02-22 (日) 午前12:48 by terra

Been questioning myself on the reasons, besides money and accountability to my parents, for taking up my present job.

Perhaps, it was the boredom of doing nothing-particularly-interesting that made me desire work ASAP. However, looking deeper, I think it must have been ego at play.

Society valuates a person’s worth according to the quantity/quality of economic contribution. In other words, I’d probably been an economic liability for the last few months, despite my personal satisfaction from learning a new language.

It never helped whenever I bumped into people that I’d not seen for months.

They’d go: “So, what have you been up to of late? Graduated? Already working?”
And I’d be: “Yeah” to the first, “no” to the second.”
Then they’d go: “Cannot find job ah”
And I’d be like, “well…not exactly… Haven’t really been out searching. Learning Japanese right now….”
Then they’d look and me and go: “[short pause]… I see…”

Maybe it was sensitivity on my own part; perhaps the mildly-disapproving looks that I thought I was receiving, derived, in actuality from my own imagination. At times, I couldn’t help feeling weak and incapacitated, torn between doing what I wanted and what society expected me to. Not many people know this, but during the period of November-December, I must have been suffering from a bout of depression: I would be sitting down at home reading a book when I’d experience a wave helplessness suddenly overwhelming and choking me.

The decay of my English

Posted 2003-08-06 (水) 午後11:54 by terra

It’s been three months since I graduated from the university and nearly four months since my last blog entry. In the process of writing this entry, I uncover the decay of my English writing ability… T_T

So what have I been up to of late? Well, let’s see… Passing my driving basic theory (driving lessons to begin in September), watching tons of anime (Juuni Kokki, Escaflowne etc.) and reading manga. However, the highlight of the past few months since graducation would definitely be the intensive 5-day-a-week Japanese classes that I’ve been attending. Well, I haven’t yet learnt enough grammar and vocabulary to make a decent conversation in Japanese, but I discovered yesterday at Kinokuniya that I could stumble through some simple Japanese manga (e.g. Hikaru no Go). This made me really happy.

On the one hand, I don’t feel like I’ve wasted my time doing nothing these couple of months, on the other, I feel like there’s a lot of things that I need to do that I have yet accomplished. These things include writing my resume and updating my Mythology website (I’ve been so lazy and unmotivated). I also want to get my English back to standard (this is an actual need, for me to write a decent resume), which means I need to read the books that have been lying unread in my bookshelves for months.
