January 31, 2010 by Ceolwulf.
I’ve updated the SMPC site a bit, now it at least has correct dates and speakers.
New styles, the essay, the schedule, should all be up in the next couple days.
edit as of February 7th: it’s complete now.

GRJC files for Kanji LS Touch
January 17, 2010 by Ceolwulf.
Bit of a specialized interest here. This is for people who are learning kanji using Kanji LS Touch and who would like to follow the order in the excellent text, A Guide to Remembering Japanese Characters by Kenneth G. Henshall.
With the new functionality in Kanji LS Touch that allows you to import your own sets of kanji, this becomes possible. But it’s still a lot of work to get that many kanji in a row. I’ve now done this for you, dividing the book into sets of 34 characters (yes, this is the same set size that KingKanji uses; this is not a coincidence 
). These files can be found at http://willowroot.ca/grjc/.
I hope this is useful to at least one other person!

not never, but certainly late
January 3, 2010 by Ceolwulf.
It seems amidst the peculiar paths and whizzings and crunchings of my semi-functional mind is a characteristic that is as baffling as it is annoying; namely, that of simply not doing something. Now you’d think that this is an ordinary sort of procrastination, but the fact is it’s more of a reluctance to take some, any sort, of action; that once a project, no matter now small, is on my agenda, if it does not get done instantly, there is afterwards a sort of magnetic field that keeps me from doing it for no reason whatsoever other than - well that’s just it, if I could put a name to it I might be able to get over it. This results in simple tasks, sometimes a matter of minutes, and of considerable importance at that, occasionally being put off for years.
Sometimes an important date is sufficient to overcome this inertia; sometimes that date has to come and go for three years first.
This is all a roundabout way of saying that I have at last updated the virtual museum page for my mother’s life and art, with the biographical texts. Shame on me; there’s no excuse for it taking this long.
Anyway, here it is. Go read.
