Hey guys,
IF you can remember a few months back we had a pretty neat thing going on where colorless_green_idea would post daily chengyus or grammars.
Well that was pretty cool, and it seems to have died down, so I've put them all into an anki deck. I did it pretty bare bones where each chengyu or grammar was it's own slide. Then, towards the end, I realized I probably should've made the example sentences and vocabulary bits their own slides as well. However, before doing all that, I'll ask you guys what you think. So, do you think that all those things should be split up or left as is?
I'm going to fumble around and try to get it uploaded somewhere too, but I think for the meantime I'd just like to know if anyone is interested in this.
EDIT:
Well, I uploaded it to my own personal site. I don't think that will be a problem with this subreddit though!

In 2007 an application to the ISO 639 Registration Authority to give a language code to Toki Pona was rejected, for the following reasons:Registration Authority decision on Change Request no. 2007-011: reject requested creation of new identifier for Toki Pona
In consultation with Anthony Aristar of LinguistList, the ISO 639-3 Registration Authority has determined that the request for this new code element is premature. The propagation of a new constructed language is often a short-lived interest of limited scope; few constructed languages have lasting impact in the world community of languages to become more than mere novelties. Toki Pona seems to fit the novelty category, as an intentionally “minimalist” language. During 2007 there was some media interest in Toki Pona, in which its novel aspects were highlighted. If Toki Pona survives the next few years and continues to develop, both in applications and in user base, then the RA will be open to consider a new request for assignment of a code element for Toki Pona.
It has got back on the table. I'm an advisor to the 639 committee and I recently successfully got a code for Neo. I am supporting a code for Toki Pona.
So, I take that as meaning it would be a bit more official and be able to be used in code more easily, which are all good things to me. I'm excited to see if it gets accepted this time, and wonder if it will bring a short burst of more active fans.Use of ISO 639 codes
The language codes defined in the several sections of ISO 639 are used for bibliographic purposes and, in computing and internet environments, as a key element of locale data. The codes also find use in various applications, such as Wikipedia URLs for its different language editions.
Delimiting languages
A multilingual page is contained by the CSS class "multilingual", with text in every language contained within the class "lang-xx", where xx is a lowercase ISO 639 two-letter or three-letter language code and the lang attribute. The lang attribute is contextually more correct, but the CSS required to hook into it is not supported by all browsers. If there is no two-letter code, the lowercase three-letter code is used. For text in an unknown language "und", (undetermined) is used.

So, you want to go to Europe? You have it all planned out and know that you don’t even need a visa or anything.
Do you know about about the Schengen Area?
The Schengen area is a relatively recent agreement, and it’s what lets much of Europe function as the USA does with its states. That is to say, you can travel between the borders without any kind of checkpoint.
Now, there is some confusion about what exactly this zone is, with some warrant to the confusion too.
There are 3 main super-governmental agreements/organizations that are important to know about when going to Europe.
The European Union: the one most people know about, commonly referred to as the EU. It’s strictly a political entity and acts as a forum for Europe to talk about things, much as the UN does on a larger scale.
The Euro Zone: the area inside Europe that uses the Euro as its currency.
The Schengen Area: the one that is the least known about (in my experience) and the most important one to know.
Now, each one of these have different member states. So, just because a country is in the EU doesn’t mean they are in the other two. The same for any combination of the three groups. The first two wont affect a traveler very much, so I wont go into too much detail, the only time I could see someone running into trouble is if they didn’t know Switzerland isn’t a part of it and end up not have the right currency for a moment.
The Schengen Area though, is a not so often talked about area that could and has and probably will continue to affect travelers to Europe. For most short term travel, it will never come up, but if you were thinking about just passing some time going from country to country, it could very easily come up.
This area, that makes the continent of Europe a bit more unified also throws a wrench in for those going to travel. From the moment you step into the area, you have a rolling clock that starts ticking away. For the area, you have 90 days out of 180 days allowed inside. That means, if you were to leave the whole area, the 180 day clock would still be going. So, if you are inside for 50 days, outside for 70 days, you are only allowed 40 days inside the area still. It is there to stop people from leaving the country and coming back quickly, somewhat abusing their visa waiver.
It is also a very large area:
I read a comment recently that depicted one problem on Linux that I think is somewhat unspoken.
Most people are putting Linux on computers that were built for another operating system.
By now, the hardware problems are notorious for most people who have tried Linux, but why?
Well, I got to thinking about this question and thought that the very way in which it has its free “download now” ability plays into an idea that it will work with any hardware. When it doesn’t it creates issues for the user.
The point basically boils down to that if there were more built for Linux hardware then the problem wouldn’t arise. There’re many problems in that too…. but that’s not for here or now.
However, before ending this, it should be said that I find the same “download now” ability that makes amateurs more confident then they probably should be, allows other users to try and work out these hardware issues.
I’ve also put off wordless for a bit, I’m focusing mostly on learning French for myself right now, after I become confident in my skills a bit more I think I will work on it some more (or maybe when I get a whim on some free time).
Right now, I want to develop lessons first and get a team on board that could help out too. Lessons are a first though, and I didn’t realize how big the task would be until I started undertaking it.
I think I’ll move it to a google sites URL too. Blogger only allows collaboration with people who have an @gmail account it seems.
That’s it for now, just half an idea and an update on an incomplete idea.
Well, I had an idea for a tutoring service in my random search around for ways to get a small income.
I like the idea a lot, but I realized there’s a lot more to this that I’m not really prepared for quite yet. I would like to develop a method to learning based on my own experiences, but I’m pretty sure I need more time.
That said, I plan to still go at it as a kind of hobby. Between learning French and figuring out what I’ll be doing for the next year, I should have enough downtime right?
For the other things in my life, things are going fairly well. The small town I’m living in here in France is pretty cool. I feel like I’m walking through the pages of a Harry Potter novel.
I’m currently working on learning French, and once I’m competent in the language other things will be much easier to deal with. I plan doing my Master’s here (not quite sure EXACTLY where, but that’s in the plans to come).
The biggest things though, is things go on. I got stuck in Korea for the past two years and am feeling like I’m going forward again. It was sad to say goodbye to friends from school and family, but it’s nice to be with Susan and exploring somewhere new. I look forward to the chance to grow and hope to meet everyone again as a better person.
To finish, I plan to be updating here more, maybe even practicing in other languages. I think it’s a nice way to practice.
Au revoir!
