சுமார் இரண்டு வருடங்களாக பிளாக் செய்துவருகிறேன். அதில் ஒன்றுகூட தமிழில் இல்லையா? என்ன அநியாயம்? என்ன கொடுமையிது சரவணா? என் தாய்மொழிக்கே நான் துரோகம் செய்வேனா? மன்னித்துவிடடா, மன்னித்துவிடு! அஹஹஹஹா... (அழுகை... கிண்டல் செய்யாதே!)

அதனால் நான் இப்பொழுது பிளாகில் ஒரு தமிழ் போஸ்டு எழுதப்போகிறேன். பொன்னாடையை எனக்கு வழங்கும்படி தாழ்மையுடன் கேட்டுக்கொள்ளுகிறேன். என்ன? கொடுக்கமுடியாதா? மவனெ சீவிடுவேன் சீவி... இன்னா மே?

உளரல் போதும், இத்தோட முடிச்சுகறேன், நைனா!

தடங்கலுக்கு வருந்துகிறோம். razz

  2. What! You don't have Unicode installed? :lol:I'm curious, what do you see? A strange script? Or just block characters (junk)? Yeah, this post was to test out my new program: eng2tam. See previous post.

  3. Beats me, it's a PHP script called MagpieRSS that I run at my webhost and view through Firefox on Windows - that's a lot of different places that could cause the problem :smile:It renders all the characters as a question mark - no real problem but it looks like a very indecisive post :wink:

  4. Yeah, maybe the server you run MagpieRSS on doesn't have unicode enabled. Or maybe your (client) system doesn't have the necessary Unicode fonts installed. I think it's more likely to be the latter case, since Unicode rendering is a client-side issue.

  5. This came through perfect, but I still didn't get the punchline. :-)

  6. I'm assuming you don't know Tamil, but it wasn't anything fancy at all. :mrgreen: If you do know tamil, I apologize for my assumption.The punch line roughly translates to: "we apologize for the interruption". I'll try and post a full translation, but it's not really worth it and the translation will fall flat. :PI'd be very grateful if you can post a screenshot of this post from your end because I want to know how well the font has rendered. I noticed some differences (mostly in the way diphthongs are rendered). Tamil combines vowel+consonants into complex characters and it doesn't always combine it properly in all fonts (the consonant and vowel character get separated leading to strange effects).

  9. Logesh, super maa. I thought of starting a separate blog for Tamil, but no... I have too many URLs already.Drew, yeah I can relate to that. Whenever I open a website that's written in Chinese or Japanese. :mrgreen:
