A rather shabby little corner of the web

Click here for the Japanese language section

Welcome to my site; I hope you find something of interest. For the most part, use of images, frames, silly effects etc is avoided, not (generally) through lack of resource, but to focus on actual content. If you want pretty pictures or music or whatever, pick up a magazine or turn on the TV - they are far better conduits for that sort of thing.

Things here:

• Personal information
• Reviews
• Content in the Japanese language
• Japanese language learning materials
• Miscellanea
• Links to other sites - not yet available

Recent updates:

• 13th February 2002: got back from Japan last week, a couple of minor updates to lists in the personal info section, and my Japanese language CV finally got finished. More stuff should hopefully be uploaded soon...
• 9th November 2001: tidying up prior to going to Japan for three months. Added the kanji grid size variations to the Japanese section; added a new section for my personal reference while I'm away (nothing terribly thrilling though). Fixed a few broken links in the reviews section too, although only by adding dummy files, rather than proper reviews.
• 24th October 2001: another candle on the cake :-( Scanned in a few pictures from my time in Japan, plus an accurate summary of the last 5 years of my life.
• 19th October 2001: finally added some proper Japanese language content - albeit highly incomplete...
• 7th October 2001: added reviews of the vast majority of books in my Japanese language learning library.
• 5th October 2001: further tweaks and variations of my CV/resume.
• 26th September 2001: transcription of lyrics for the "Fruits Basket" TV series added to the miscellaneous section. (Submission for the AnimeLyrics site.)
• 15th September 2001: upgraded the PostScript kanji grid and added a basic guide to surname kanji in the Japanese learning section.

Note: while I am in Japan, I should be able to access mails sent to my main account, via FreeServe's web front end. However, it may be advisable to cc any messages to my alternative address wappingescapee@hotmail.com to be on the safe side. I intend to check both accounts regularly though.
