    Kim,

    did you change something in the layout for /words/ ?
    The search and reset buttons are partially inside the English textbox and the label for English is totally obscured.

    If need be I can put up a screenshot for you.

    This is FF3 RC1 btw.

    Yep, confirmed and fixed, although I could only see it on Ubuntu, looked fine on Mac OS X. Since I didn't notice this in any of the betas I was thinking that it perhaps was a recession in the release candidate. We'll see later on.

    There was also an hour long outage of the site about an hour or so ago. This was a due to a faulty Trac FastCGI process but has been fixed now. Hopefully it won't occur again.

    As compensation I'd like to share a little something of what my current local development copy of Denshi Jisho looks like. Everything is of course notice to change, and this is probably another month or so before I can release it. But by showing it publicly I hope it will put some more preassure on me to actually get it finished this year :)

    Possibly, I did not see anything on Opera and on the FF3 betas. So it might be either a RC1 issue or an Ubuntu issue.

    If you got issues, let me know Kim, I'm a committer for Trac. :)

    Wow, looks nice. It's too bad some of your goals are different, otherwise I could share some of the things I am working on for http://www.rangaku.org/ -- but you reuse the wwwjdic/edict data.

    It was a friend's Trac installation and I only poked in the Apache logs to see what was slowing me down. But if it happens again I'll send you a mail :)

    I'm not quite sure what you mean with my goals are different and that I reuse the wwwjdic data. I'm generally in favor of sharing the parts of the system that are worth sharing, so let me know what your ideas are.

    Well, thing is that I build a database system from scratch since I don't use the WWWJDIC/Edict information.

    One thing you might want to consider: wrap Japanese output with lang="ja" and xml:lang="ja". This enforces the browser to use its Japanese rendering codepath (also means fonts are better selected).

    Right now I am working on code that will update the kanji and compounds with frequency information from Google and Yahoo. Is that interesting to you to add in addition to the WWWJdic/Edict data?

    Sounds like a monumental task :)

    Yes, good point. I'll add that in the next version.

    I have long thought about doing something similar, so yes, that would probably be useful to me as well.

    Mmm, it takes some time, but the fun thing is is that generating JSON or XML from the data is quite easy. Oddly enough, design/layout is the harder part at times. :)

    I'll drop you an email with some working Python code I have.

    Kim,

    the code should be at your gmail account, let me know if you didn't get it.

    I already have 50% of the jouyou results with results from Google, Yahoo, Baidu and goo. Discovered a bug in one of Yahoo's results though, working it out with them now.
