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 ;-)

Where can I find audio recordings of every word? The files can be downloaded -- technically, if maybe not legally -- with this pattern URL: caca8.net/fayin/XXXXXX.mp3 where XXXXXX is the pinyin (a1, ba2, etc). |

Cantonese jyutping Tone 4 question “throat should be vibrating” Please also note that vowel length is independent (and meaningful) from the tone. You can have a long and a short syllable with the same tone, and they are different sounds. |

馅饼 in Cantonese I don't think shape is much of a factor, really... I'll look at some menus in the coming days and see if I can bring some examples. |
