Aardvark's Atamyrat Diary: April 2005
http://atamyrat.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 30, 2005. Is he a genius or a dyslexic - you go figure! It turns out that America is not the only state with a language challenged leader. We may have misunderestimated. The impact of this on world affairs. I do know I'm ready for the job [the presidency]. And if not, that's just the way it goes.". How many other world leaders have said something similar in and in what languages? Who would know anyway with the code of silence. It's no surprise there's always so much international tension.

Tuesday, May 31, 2005. Keeping my head down. I'm sure you've all been wondering where I've been these last 3/4 weeks. Well the answer is keeping my head down - Sapa's gone fighting mad. The Turkmen armed forces have been conducting Exercise Formidable Motherland. Doesn't mean much - well let's put it in simple terms:. A bunch of Turkmen dressed up in the sort of stuff you buy in army surplus stores have been going around firing off all sorts of guns and bigger things that go bang. By the way - the pictur...

Saturday, April 15, 2006. In addition to the crossword solver tool, the itanda site now includes a look up engine for Scrabble. And similar word games - the itanda Scrabble Solver. Making this run fast was a tougher problem than solving anagrams or doing wild card looks up against a dictionary when the length of the target word is known (as was the case for the crossword solver). The word list used is YAWL. This has over 250K entries. An alternative approach is to blast through the table (or a suitable s...

Saturday, June 10, 2006. Roget's Thesaurus - the original. The Moby distribution includes a 1991 update of the 1911 public domain version of Roget's Thesaurus. This is much smaller than Moby with just over 1000 categories and. The source data was unfortunately a classic example of the difference between a human edited document which is apparently in a standard format and a consistent text suitable for automated processing. There are no doubt numerous errors remaining. The 1991 update includes a good addi...

Saturday, August 12, 2006. The itanda site used AJAX to provide much of the functionality and ease of use. This has been taken furthest so far with the Wordnet 2.1 based English Dictionary plus. When this blog started, some technical material of AJAX was promised. So here's a basic intro to start with. The first step on the client/browser side is to create a HTTP request object. Here's the code used on itanda. You'll find variants of this elsewhere on the web. This works with most browsers. ObjReq = null;.

Tuesday, May 23, 2006. Angla vortaro - that's English dictionary to you and me. A quick check against public domain material downloaded previously turned up The The Online Plain Text English Dictionary (OPTED) produced by Ralph S. Sutherland from the Project Gutenberg. Version of the 1913 edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary with a additional vocabulary supplement. OPTED came in a very simple and completely regular html format and was easy to process automatically and upload. This is unlike the var...

Friday, March 17, 2006. The latest dictionary to be added to the itanda/AMCD site is an English-Japanese dictionary. Based on the EDICT. Japanese-English dictionary. This dictionary is made available in the form of a delimiter separated text file with a primary delimiter charater of "/". Because the original file is Japanese to English, it may have several English equivalents, separated as above, for a single Japanese terms (upto 11). Which can be used to achieve the same effect as shown below. The above...
