Project Information

When/What/Why

This Project was started early 2005 as my honors thesis. I thought up this project a few years back trying to think of a way to increase my vocabulary as most programs that teach Japanese only teach you the basics, and I was at an intermediate level. I later decided to create this project as my thesis as I needed one to graduate thought the honors program.

This site is currently being hosted by The University of Nebraska at Omaha. I'm using Yahoo as my DHP service for this project for which I reserved cmjsp.net for. The script used to parse the XML dictionary files (see credits) is written in Perl. The SQL database software used is PostGreSQL. The scripting language used on this web site is PHP. The quizzes on this web site are Java Applets.

Where/Who

I am currently employeed for the Union Pacific Railroad in their OSS Department. I am currently attending classes as a graduate student at the University of Nebraska of Omaha's Peter Kiewit institute of technology. I am a senior on my last semester here. My hobbies include computer stuff, studying Japanese, and playing video games. My future dream job is putting those three things together into a job translating Japanese video games. As you can see I'm not very interesting.
