Online Dictionary

lac d’Anncey.France 在這邊看到，透過點小設定，可以讓Chrome的網址列充當搜尋引擎，自訂想要的搜尋。之前用Google App Enginen包裝出來的OnlineDict，只有吃由form餵入的資料，也就是只支援post的方式。為了要讓它也可以做為Chrome搜尋用的引擎，就得要為它做點小改變，讓它也支援get方式的查詢才可以。 ...

Central Station.NYC.US I posted an article about using Google App Engine in last June, and the experiment target is the onlinedict. Everything goes well and since onlinedict is originally written in python, the porting task is without any efforts. However, there’s one limitation of using Google App Engine: You can get your codes back from the server. You have to keep your codes somewhere. That’s quite strange as a policy. I know it may be easier to control the whole system on google side, but as a user, it’s troublesome ofr me because I am too lazy to my stuff in another source control website. ...

Annecy.France 看了點文件，想說就來寫寫東西吧，從最簡單的開始。 之前在國外時，為了學法文，幫onlinedic寫了個Vocabulary Review的小程式在Windows Mobile上。讓自己可以用當時帶出去的dopod818加減看一下查過的單字。現在，當時的code已經都不見了，所以想說在android上也寫一個好了。反正onlinedic的export機制都還是okay的。 ...

Taidon.Taiwan Oh, I will survive too, even under this kind of tremendous pressure. Just….don’t bite me. It hurts. ==== I don’t like to use stardict in Ubuntu, bacause of its UI. So, I decided to resurrect my onlinedict. Actually, it already works well in ubuntu after getting the latest codes from sourceforge website, although some libs are depreciated. I replaced the depreciated lib, and modifed a bit the parser of collins online dictionary, which is one of my favorite dics.

Biei.Japan I forgot how I bumped into this site Google App engine. I saw there’s a small youtube video at the right-hand side. Out of curiosity, I clicked on the video and gave it a gimplse. Wow, it’s written in Python. That made me more interested in how it works. Within hours, I wrote my first google app based on its simple sample provided in the Google App Engine SDK. Hey, but it’s already good enough to compete with my onlinedic!! The speed is amazing comparing to my desktop client. Instead of completing my first workable (and useful) android app, I ported my onlinedic to google apps. Well, I just changed the I/O part of my original python scripts. As for the html post-processing part, I did not change them at all. ...

Ricoh GRD Annecy, France 2008.06.22 la Fete de la Musique 很難在午夜時分，還能在安納西看到這麼多遊客。 **** onlinedic的word list目前使用上還算穩定， 所以今天把這個branch merge到主要的trunk上。 久沒用tortoisesvn了，只好再查一下它的用法。 下面是官方網頁的解釋： Merging

(Ricoh GRD Semnoz, Annecy, France) 滑雪滑到一半遇上大雪，多少會讓人覺得很掃興。 買的是一日券，少溜愈多虧愈多。 看著屋外一字排開的滑雪用具和空蕩蕩的桌椅， 還是快進到餐廳裡取暖吧。 ...

(Biie, Hokkaide) 一直很討厭在查單字時還要輸入法語的音符，雖然之前找到的輸入方式已經很簡單了，但是如果能夠只輸入一般英文字母就能查詢的話，不是很輕鬆嗎？ ...

it’s awkwardly implemented yesterday. The word list support was not considered in the original design of Dict module so it’s hard to find a place to fit it in. Finally, I decided to add a default function for Dict base class: get_word_list(). Currently, this new feature is only supported for dictionary files with stardict format . After calling match() from FileDB in stardict module, it will not only return the word explanation, but also provide a list of words that are before and after current word. ...

(Ricoh GRD Cannes, France. 坎城小火車) 南部每個鎮都會有逛市區的小火車，帶著你穿街過巷，在較短的時間內一覽當地名勝和景點。價錢大都落在5歐到10歐之間。車上一般會提供英文和法文的解說，可以帶上耳機或是由司機直接口頭介紹景點。行程則大概是二十分鐘到三十分鐘之間。 ...
