I found this site looking for a portable Chinese dictionary, and I love the idea. I don’t want to switch the operating system on my iPod, since I’ve got one of the unsupported new ones and I hear it greatly reduces the battery life. So instead, I formatted CEDICT so it is sorted into files by pinyin, so I have a somewhat usable Chinese-English dictionary (I’ve put this on http://lhtiv.com). Sadly, there is no input support as of yet.
I’m now working on an English-to-Chinese version, but it is much harder to parse CEDICT in that direction.

what compiler did you use? I’m trying to add programs to podzilla or modules to podzilla2, but I have yet to get my hands on a working compiler.

[...] Tres tres cool, Dr. Dave (a qui l’on doit le fameux Spam Karma) est en train de bosser sur un dico de jap pour iPod a base de EDICT. [...]

I can see how you don’t want the direct image links from those who don’t read your blog, and how you can’t tell an RSS aggregator from a leech (“What’s the difference?” asks the peanut gallery…).
Maybe you could offer a full-text RSS feed and a headline RSS feed that has no images and a short intro with a link to the full post? Personally I don’t mind following a link to read postings, since I’m mainly using an RSS aggregator so I don’t have to manually go check dozens of separate URLs for stories, not because I’m allergic to following links myself. If you had a headline and full-text feed, I’d just go with the former in this case.

Looks like the second screenshot shows an application named “iDiot”. Weird.

Thanks for bringing my attention to this. You’re both right and wrong, depending on which use of RSS feeds we are looking at:
- on one hand, many people pull this feed in their local client and enjoy being able to see pictures directly in it.
- on the other hand, there are a handful online aggregators: bloglines, and apparently now, LiveJournal, for which this causes problem.

Unfortunately, I can’t remove the hotlinking script either, as I have had ample occasions to see the sort of holes in my bandwidth quota a few days unprotected can do at the hands of Legions of MySpace morons…

At any rate, I feel it’s time to update this anti-hotlinking pic to something more neutral… I will also put together a pic-free alternative feed and see if I can think of any better way to deal with this.

Cheers

Having an RSS feed of entries with inline images and then hacking your website so that requests for images that aren’t referred from your website get a generic “don’t do that” image is inconsistent.
