Sprinkles of technical stuff

Ok, so some characters on my posts, the Viet fonts will not display properly on some compooters. An anon reader brought this to my attention. Your computer has to set to Unicode (UTF-8).

(1) If you are using Internet Explorer, go to Preferences/WebBrowser/Languages/click Viet language box.

(2) If you are using Mac, go to Preferences/Appearance/change Default Encoding to UTF-8.

(3) If you are using Mozilla Firefox, go to View/Character Encoding/click Unicode (UTF-8).

Are there any other browsers out there? Also, if you wish to have Viet font on your computer (and why not?), the same anon reader suggests Vietkey 2000 installation in Shoutbox. If you would like to converse in Vietnamese with tones, go to Support.vnn.vn and click on the first download link. The text after it says "Bộ gõ Vietkey mới bao gồm". Good luck!

If you are one of the two people that normally read what I throw up here, by all means convert the encodings. I don’t know any web services that translate from Vietnamese to English or vice versa. Sorry.

The basement is slowly drying up. Now, we have to look at the monetary damages. Speaking of looking and squinting, I have yet again saw a plummer butt. Pants sliding down and butt crack showing, arrghh, I just got the mental image, and I can't poke out my minds eye!! Ok, must.revert.mental.vision to something better. Sigh. Things will only get better, right? Yeah…

Oh I have to share this quiz, which was shamelessly stolen from here.

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!

You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.

Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.
