Linguist by talent, code-monkey by choice, corporate drone by necessity. French part-time wine trader and coder, living in Asia since the dark days of the [blink] tag. I used to code 8080 assembly by hand. Now, I stay a few layers above that. Craziness is for the young.
I do mostly custom code dev (desktop apps for SMEs, or middleware). Got interested recently in mobile apps, and despite my undying love for Blackberry phones (that's the corporate drone speaking), I code mostly in Phonegap for Android and sometimes iOS. I have a bunch of code on Google Code, which I guess I should move to GitHub – all the more so since git is my weapon of choice.
I do Java/C code only with a gun to my head – but Android is good at dragging me back in Java-land. Python preferred for non-critical apps. GUI apps mostly in RealStudio (and C glue code in dylibs). Erlang when I want to make my CPUs overheat and scream past the competition ;-)

What is the difference between 餐馆 and 饭店? Is 饭店 used for restaurant or hotel? "餐廳" and "菜館" are also quite popular in the south for restaurant. |

Missionary Romanization? There's not much on the Latin transcription system because most of the information that may have been published about it was lost. |

Which dialect(s) to study before visiting Shenzhen? Huaqiang Bei in Shenzhen is indeed huge but I don't think it compares to Akihabara, really. First it's full of fakes and defective products (do not buy batteries there), and it's insanely dirty and polluted. |

How do I type the lü for Character Romanization? Oh I thought you meant when typing pinyin for itself -- ie not to get Chinese in the end but to show pinyin. My bad. |
