  Whelp, I guess that's RIP in peace for my palm plant that I planted, from a seed, during the Covid lockdown in 2020 A sudden high gust of wind just pushed the 30+kg pot off the balcony railing (onto my balcony, but still) :(

  TIL the difference between 聞く and 聴く Both are pronounced きく, kiku, both mean to hear But 聴く is more like to listen, hearing something actively, while 聞く is hearing something incidentally There's also 訊く, also kiku, to ask/inquire From what I understand, it's still the same verb, and you can use 聞く for all of them, but using 聴 or 訊 adds connotations Government forms and petitions apparently use 聴く for asking something, to add the connotation of intently listening to an opinio...

  In a fit of hubris, I bought the first volume of the Yotsuba manga. In Japanese I read the first couple of pages. I get about...90%? It's not that bad However... I have issues *reading* it, from a vision standpoint. It's so small, the furigana especially! I'm old and I have -12 dioptre!

  Spent the whole day today writing a metadata tagger for manga. Grabs data via the APIs of MyAnimeList and Comic Vine, combines them and writes a ComicInfo.xml to the CBZ archive I previously used a weird existing Python ("MangaTagger") program plus a GUI application ("comictagger") to fix up the data, but that was annoying My own thing now does exactly what I want Well, mostly.

  Call me slow, but I just now got the pun of Okarun's balls in Dandadan being golden balls... 金玉, kintama, is literally golden ball, but also a slang term for testicles I just never questioned that while watching the anime. Came upon kintama in a different context, remembered Dandadan and now it makes sense...
