Studying Japanese again

Just before my last laptop crashed (yes on first day at new project) I had found a splendid on-line course Japanese. When the laptop crashed I also lost the favorites I had stored so I lost the link to the website.

Tonight I watched a beautiful Japanese Anime movie (Millennium Actress) and this triggered my desire to practice my Japanese again. I decided to look for the Japanese course again, the only thing I remembered was that the Japanese professor was very proud of his students winning the Japanese conversation contest. With the help of Google I finally found the website again.

So if any of you are interested in this Japanese language course (academic level) please visit this website.

Once you are there choose Materials (or just click this shortcut).

Then you choose the first option offered: AS/JP1000 6.0 Elementary Modern Standard Japanese

Choose intro 01 which brings you to the video of the first lesson taught by Professor Norio Ota
(or click this shortcut). In order to see the videoyou may need a plug-in for the correct mediaplayer.

I like highly efficient and reliable code

I just read this line in a profile at Ecademy and looking at the rest of the profile I decided to invite this person to become one of my contacts at Ecademy.
I like people who are interested in quality, and a programmer who uses this line in his profile understands the value of quality.

That kind of person is most welcome in my professional network!
