(This msg is an open letter to everyone, but it feels natural if I write in a 'voice' as if I'm writing to the site's author, Eddy, so...) Eddy, you and I have had an outside-of-the-forum discussion pertaining to screen resolution. To summarize for others, my display settings are 800x600 pixels because I have a small monitor. I can adjust this setting to view cjmember.com, but that makes things quite tiny. I am certainly going to try your suggestion of ENLARGING THE FONTS, but may I suggest an alternative solution?




I'm out of work at the moment, and thus have plenty of time to create a mirror of your site. Well, perhaps it wouldn't be organized in exactly the same way, and I would link to such things as this forum rather than reproduce it. But, I could reproduce most of the text and graphics on HTML pages for those who use 800x600 screen settings and who, like me, are too lazy to change.




What I need now is a HOST for the site. I would use my ISP's free personal site, except that I am dumping my ISP soon. Any suggestions for a host?




(Sorry if this gets posted twice. Had some submission problems).

YES! it is a greatidea to make a mirror site with a lower resolution. Thank you so much for proposing! But we hope you soon find a job!


Maybe some reader will propose a solution for finding a HOST. If not, I will definitively find one by renting some inexpensive space.


As too the contents, they certainly do not need to be identical to my web. They can be better, more clear, anything you like --good. Maybe this is a great opportunity to redo the web focusing on the CJ method itself, increasing details and tips for learners (and teachers). Your discovery that you can guess codes rather than memorinzing them is worth to be more exposed. You will soon receive the book. So, you can scan pages and display them. Also,I will soon have additional material for tricky characters. On the other hand, you can leave aside all the stuff regarding the author and the inventor except for the CangJie Dictionary (called the "Dictionary of Chinese Characters Genes" which should be more exposed. The site being smaller, will be fast, for "pure Cangjie input"!


Warm thanks! Eddy

Cool, Eddy, I'm glad you like the idea. Don't worry about the job, it'll come soon. As for the site, yes, I think I'll add some mnemonics: for ling2 (soul), which is MBRRM, one could remember "My Body Removed Reveals Me." Okay, that one is a little strange, but you get the idea. Speaking of MBRRM, I just realized that my IME (Windows only - no special software) is definitely _3rd generation_. Hmm, I had better stick with your content as much as I can so as not to confuse anyone. I wouldn't want to mix generations.

Should I use bravenet? I mean, do you like their service? I would just send you the pages so you could add them to your current site, but that could be very confusing. So, how about a mirror using (a different address at ) bravenet?

I like Bravenet service but I have no paying account with them for hosting. The hosting of the existing miror site is in http://www.freeservers.com/for which I pay 6 $ a month. If we go on with tis idea, I will make a one year contract.


If you send me your pages I will erase the present miror in freeservers.com and put them there. You will have the passeword and you can do the maintainance and add contents when you like,or send anything you like and I will put it into that mirror. I think that mirror web should be more open, encouraging students and users of Chinese to bring material in (like your experience of "deducing new codes from old ones instead of memorizing" --which is linked to the modularity of Chinese charcaters delopped by Chu in his studies of the "The Genes of Chinese Characters".




Also, on a second part of this web ideas like those of Ray Kurzweil and of Steve Grand ("Creation: Life and how to Make it")... which seems to interest you particularly and which is one of the main points of Chu Bangfu in the few coming years.


So, what do you think? Eddy

Pages: I'll work on them this week and hopefull I can send you some this weekend. (I've had a houseguest).




Kurzweil ideas: sounds great, although I'm not sure how I would tackle that. I was going to link to Kurzweil's site, though. Need your help on the rest




Deducing codes: I was just doing some more deductions this morning, and it's interesting how many of my wrong guesses turn out to be correct for Generation Five! For example, ci4 is IMNO, but I had guessed MMNO.

1) Pages: take your time.


2) Kurzweil should be for after, I guess. I think we should made a web, slim and fast and complete, that can help well the users of CangJie. In fact, another friend ofmine, "more computer savy than me", told me that, the usual resolution for webs is not 1000x700 but 800X600, whichcan also be seen in 1000x700,, nad whihc is faster, So, I have to reform my web, one way or another: your help is appreciated.


3) Version 5 will soon benn explained (I have ot finish some work and I am getting on to it!)
