I can haz 𨳒, preeze?

Apparently, 𨳒 is in the Unicode (displays fine, aye?), but not in the Unihan database. This is a hongkongism — for . And it’s not on my Mac — which is based on the Unicode… Hmph. (Actually, having 𨳒 in the permalink borked it. Grrr).

La suite des aventures de Babar

La dernière oukaze du Jeffe : On n’a plus le droit d’accoler un RTT à des jours de congés payés, ou à un jour férié… Et ça à la suite de l’interdiction de prendre plus de deux semaines de vacances, et cela une seule fois par an, sinon une seule semaine à la fois. On se croirait en 1930…

First Conversation in Cantonese!

During the wine dinner I organized yesterday at the Hong Kong Jockey Club, I had my first real-life conversation in Cantonese, with a member of the club and one of his guests. It was not very elaborate, and English came to the rescue often enough, but it did the job. I was very tired, and had I been in my right mind, I probably would have not dared to use my poor skills in such a posh venue, especially with so many people around.

But the mixture of sleep deprivation, euphoria and stress probably led me to bite the bullet. I have spent the whole week in China, so I felt, what da heck… I am glad I did, as the fellows I chatted with were very pleased. The problem now is that they invited me to Gwongjau, and they’ll expect me to repeat the feast… ;-)

Bug Bug Bug

Une semaine après sa sortie, la version pré-Alpha du naviagteur mobile de Mozilla est confrontée à un bug qui empêche l’affichage des pages.

CNET has a spelling bug, too, that should prevent them to release articles, too, apparently…
