Error: unknown Blosxom flavour " Kyaw Thet"

I'm afraid this is the first I've heard of a " Kyaw Thet" flavoured Blosxom. Try dropping the "/+ Kyaw Thet" bit from the end of the URL.

Burmese-English dictionary

I have been busy working with the visual input system for our dictionaries. Check out the beta version for Burmese.

Go to http://burmese.sealang.net

Click on the keyboard icon (on your left panel) as shown in the following picture.

Click on the input characters so you can see the prediction. Please wait for a fraction of a second (because of the server delay) after you click on the characters. You will see the predicted Burmese words based on the dictionary order as in the following picture.

Warning about fonts

If you use Zawgyi font, you won't see the correct rendering of some characters, especially subscript forms. Zawgyi is incompatible with the Unicode standard.
Our dictionary uses the old Unicode standard with UTN #11 (the documentations are listed below)

Representing Myanmar In Unicode, Details and Examples by Martin Hosken and Maung Tun Tun Lwin
Myanmar Unicode Standard

The old unicode standard was implemented in some fonts, such as Padauk, Myanmar1 and MyMyanmar. Get MyMyanmar here.

Old pictures from the US

I found my old pictures of my mission trip to Shiprock, New Mexico. I took the trip while I was in the States. We stayed at a Navajo Indian church and here are some pictures.
