I work at the University of New South Wales, where I use Ruby to analyze biological data.

In part of my spare time, I work on fun programming projects. One was trying to analyze what underlies Wikipedia's Get to Philosophy game. I also worked on one called the "Small Eigen Collider".

I'm currently learning Japanese, and I'm an active participant in lang-8.com, a website where you write journal entries in a language you're learning, and get corrected by native speakers of that language. In return, you correct people writing entries in your native language. Recently, I've been asking a few questions prompted by slightly incorrect English I've encountered on lang-8.

Oct 31	comment	Was the の particle sometimes written in katakana? 1) Is the small ノ pronounced or silent? From your answer, it seems like it's silent, but in the 御茶ノ水 question an area that is pronounced もりのみや is sometimes written 森ノ宮. 2) You're saying that ノ isn't acting as particle の in this case, right?

Oct 4	comment	What is the role of 空書 (writing kanji in the air) in modern Japanese? Users of Japanese Sign Language draw kanji too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Sign_Language BTW, is "character amnesia" a term in Japanese? The Wikipedia article seems to mention it as a concept in China. If it's a term in Japanese, how common is it compared to wapuro baka (ワープロ馬鹿 IIRC)?
