Installing Asian Languages

I’m working with Japanese website these days and having a hard time viewing Japanese characters.

For some reason, I can view Japanese character sets on my firefox and not on my IE.
Probably I might have installed asian language pack on my Firefox or not sure…
Anyway I was having a difficulty viewing characters in my MS Word as I can’t see a thing.
I was doing site updates only by copying blank page selection and paste it on my html page then view it on my Firefox which is not at all efficient.

Then Zatlite came in and did something as 1,2,3 to my setup and there it is, I now can view all characters in MS word as well as in dreamweaver.
Hmm how come I didn’t know about it?
Sayar khaw par tal A Ba yal.

Here are the steps to enable asian language pack on your system.

# Select Control Panel > Regional and Language Options
# Choose “Language” tab > Check “Install files for East Asian languages”
# Restart your computer and done.

Solar Eclipse

You don’t see them often, better take a look. Some nice shots there.

Via National Geographic
March 29, 2006—Thousands of people flocked to sites between North Africa and central Asia in search of the best place on Earth to see today’s total eclipse of the sun. But the coolest view might not have been on Earth at all.

Members of the Expedition 12 crew aboard the International Space Station were treated to this one-of-a-kind sight early this morning: a view of the moon’s shadow passing across the Earth.

  • LightBox JS V2.0

    Just now Jason notified me about Lightbox JS upgrade.
    Serious shits going on there.

    What’s New in Version 2.0

    • Image Sets: group related images and navigate through them with ease
    • Visual Effects: fancy pants transitions
    • Backwards Compatibility: yes!

    Very light, fast and way better than flash image effect(don’t start Min Thu).
    I mean I prefer this over flash gallery effects.

    Check out the “Image Set”, click one image and hover over it to browse forward or backward.
    Very cool isn’t it?

    So better get one copy and test it yourself. I got to too, I’m abit behind with it.

  • May is Back

    Hi Yall!

    Just a note to say, I’m back in Fiji and back to Mayvelous.
    The trip was alrite, well…a bit of mix feelings. Nevertheless, it was pretty enjoyable getting to see many new things and places.

    The only thing I got to say is, stop telling me that I’ve gone thinner.
    I got to Adelaide, my friends saw my pic and said “May, you gone thinner than last year we met you”.
    I came back to Fiji, the first thing my mom said, “My daughter, you’re so thin and dark”,
    my dad said, “You’re like a slice of bamboo, got so thin”.

    Oh please!
    My sis didn’t feed me well back in Adelaide and I had to do lots of exercises like walking through parks, climbing hills, running after buses and carrying heavy stuffs. I became a hunch-back and cut down more fats.

    Don’t worry, I’m back in office where no movement or exercise required and back at home with lots of mom’s cooking which definitely make me gain some weights. (hopefully!)

    Oh, how I love that smell of my stinking old room, what a beautiful sight to see my stacks of old, dusty books and piles of unwashed cloths, what a delight to see my old buddies, cockroaches. LOL.
    Such a great feeling to get up late and waken by a yell and a bang from my dear old brother and it’s so good to see my favorite cheerful people at office, they surely missed me. (NOT!)

    Anyway it’s great to be HOME!

    Out of 360+ photos I took over my 3 weeks stay in Adelaide, these are the one with “ME” in it.
    I used up the monthly upload limit at my flickr account so am using 7ven backup account for these.
    Cheers.

    When you hold a camera, 98% sure that your photos will not be included.
    When you go out with siblings who keep critising you for the way you smile/pose and who is terrible at aiming, it’s 100% sure that you will not be in the photos.

    So I took my shadows to prove that I’ve been those places, how about that HUH!

    Name that (nonexistent) blog

    To my great shame, I don’t yet have a blog of my own, so this also serves as my introduction to blogging. May has asked me to keep this blog ‘alive’ for the next few weeks. So I’ll try and keep you amused. (more…)
