Khatzumoto On Holiday

Gather round, children. Gather round. It’s summer and the sun is shining. That’s why I’ve decided to put on my shorts, take off my socks, and bask in the warm, loving light of four computer monitors [see Photosynthesis,  Khatzumoto for details].

So, AJATT will be on holiday for the rest of August. See you bright and early on September 1 for more rants and baseless remarks :) .

May the AJATT be with you.

    The End of AJATT

    It’s been a long ride. When I started this site back in late 2006, I didn’t know I would get so much love and support from all of you. Thank you all so much for reading and sharing. Things change; people change; I know I have. It’s been a wonderful growth experience for me. And now it’s time to say goodbye. I will be taking down this site effective immediately.

    Because the folks at Pimsleur have figured out a way to teach you Cantonese in ten days.

    TEN DAYS! That’s less time than it takes to lose a guy! Screw this immersion crap! Get me one, no, two boxes of the ten day stuff! In fact, get one for all my friends!

    And fries! And some diet pills to slim down with after the fries! From now on, I’ma “learn like a spy!” and “pass for a native”. Ten days, be arch!

    See ya!

    KhatzuMemo Update: Back to Basic UI, More Stats, Extra Reps Fix

    And the update shall be upon its shoulders! And its name, shall be call-ed, wonderful! Update! The migh… OK, never mind. KhatzuMemo has again been updated. Important new features:

    • UI: The UI has returned to its very basic roots. However, the default font size has been increased, and there’s also the addition of ample margin space that so many people had requested.
    • Stats: There is more statistical information now to help you analyze, manage and direct your learning progress. Mostly I just added median values since those aren’t as prone to skewing as the mean. More representative measures of central tendency: it’s the gift that keeps giving.
    • Date Display: This is minor, but…dates are displayed with proper singular/plural units now: “1 month” rather than “1 months”. A part of me couldn’t care less, but one of my CS professors brainwashed me into caring about this sort of thing.
    • Extra Reps: KhatzuMemo had the problem that it would offer you extra reps to do whether or not you had any…to do. The problem has now been fixed. Extra reps are now only offered if and when they exist.

    KhatzuMemo Update: Reset Password, View Stats, Inter-Rep 遷ransition

    And its name shall be call-ed: update! KhatzuMemo has been updated! Here are the main changes/new features:

    • A reset password function was added. If you’ve forgotten your password, you can use your username and email to reset it from the login page.
    • Changed stats page display to be easier to read, and contain more information
    • Shortened and reformatted the information display between reps, for faster reading
    • “Do Extra Reps” changed to sets of up to 10 at a time (rather than 5)

    Your feedback is, as always, more than welcome. Also, be aware that KhatzuMemo may also be changing names and moving to a shorter, easier-to-enter domain name soon. When that time does come, you may experience a service blip on the order of a few seconds; there’ll be a clear notification beforehand, so there’s no need to worry about it.

    Update: there were some security changes, too. As a result, some of your cookies may be invalid, and so you may need to log in again.
