I'm pleased to announce that the new blog is mostly ready. I've still got older entries written in 2004 manually adjusted, but the newer entries are all up and running. (Can't believe more than half the entries in past 3 years plus were back in 2004.)

I regret I do not have any effective way to move the old comments and trackbacks over to the new system. Sincere apologies to anyone who has left comment/trackback on the old blog. I'd like to thank you all for reading my blog.


暇を見て「ペーの日誌」とMixiの日記を移動すべく作業してきましたが、新しいブログの準備がほぼ完了したので移転したいと思います。２００４年に書いた記事はまだ整理が済んでいませんが、２００５年以降の記事は移動してあります。（過去３年以上の記事の半分以上が２００４年なんですね。）

残念ながら古いコメントとトラックバックの移行が出来ません。今までコメントを残してくださった皆さん、本当に申し訳ないです。これからも「ペーの日誌」をよろしくお願いします。

Ajax IME: Web-based Japanese Input Method

I'm simply surprised by its quality, especially considering its underlying libraries etc.

The idea was around for ages. Even myself written something like this before leaving to Canada back in 2002 (I was 17):
Romaji-Kana Converter on the Web

Well, about this my program, me and my friend (Sakuma, the guy running BitCoffee Inc.) have talked about the possibility of going further enabling it to handle Kanji just like the one above. We concluded it would be either Java or Flash client's job to interact with the server. That was a few years ago.

Now, look at this wondrous IME implementation: it's Javascript, the AJAX! I can't believe how quickly things change. And anyway, I hope the above program will be stay online as long as possible and become popular without disappointing neither the author and the users.

Added:
The author of the above AjaxIME mentioned Sumibi's web interface. This one works alright too. So cool! The technology behind those seem open-sourced NLP engines: probably ones from MeCab, Chasen, Juman etc. This is actually one of the subject areas I'm interested in. ]]> Thu, 08 Feb 2007 19:03:37 +0000 http://homepage.mac.com/ippei_ukai/iBlog/C1186759087/E20070208190337/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/ippei_ukai/iBlog/C1186759087/E20070107024826/index.html I take this as no need of waking up early tomorrow....
Well, I'll be late for the semester though.

See you on, er, probably Monday.

I'm getting more practical panoramas than experimental ones. It's getting a nice collection. This time, I have reproduced the entire page from the original image files, so even the existing ones got better quality.

「Ippei's Panorama」を更新しました。数十枚の新しい写真が追加されています。最近のパノラマは実験的なものよりも実用的なものが多いですね。今回はページ全体を元の画像ファイルから作り直したので、今まであった写真も画質が上がっています。

Anyways, as usual here is the summary of this academic year:



All passed. That's the most important thing in the second year. I did surprisingly well in Linguistics. Apparently got 85% for Transcription Project (wow!). I was exempted from its final exam by the way, so it's not that I can do written exams in Linguistics. ]]> Thu, 06 Jul 2006 21:17:36 +0100 http://homepage.mac.com/ippei_ukai/iBlog/C1186759087/E20060706211736/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/ippei_ukai/iBlog/C1256675868/E20060612211431/index.html 一時的にmixi.jpでしばらく更新します。まあ、別にこっちで続けてもいいんだけどね。コメントとトラックバックが落ちてるのは自宅サーバがダウンしてるから。どうもルータがDNSをもらって無いっぽい。直ってからこっちに戻すか、iWebに移行してもいいかも。ま、とりあえず今はmixi。 ]]> Mon, 12 Jun 2006 21:14:31 +0100 http://homepage.mac.com/ippei_ukai/iBlog/C1256675868/E20060612211431/index.html
