- iTroubles and The Koohii Blog5 May 2011
- First of all, thank you all again for the generous donations last Christmas! I ordered an iPad2 late March and received it Friday April 15th. From there on I have to admit my productivity has taken a serious blow :) I absolutely LOVE THIS THING!
The iPad is very interesting to me because it's very good in ways that I didn't expect. I have been surprised in particular, by the amount of "aggregation" apps such as Flipboard, Zite, Qwiki, SkyGrid, Hitpad, Taptu, etc. These apps made me realize how important RSS feeds, blogs and Twitter have become.
I'm currently working on setting up a WordPress blog, which will be much easier to update and much better for social integration. Although I don't have an official company (yet), it will act as a company blog, overseeing both the kanji and hanzi website. The blog will naturally find its place on the parent koohii.com domain. - Spring Sale at JapanesePod101!14 April 2011

- The website was briefly down today to address a problem with the Delete Flashcard keyboard shortcut D being dangerously close to the F shortcut (Flip Card).
During Flashcard Reviews the D key no longer works, but you can still access the feature in two clicks through the little wrench icon on the top right of the cards.
The Delete Flashcard feature was suggested in this forum discussion. - Remembering the Kanji Official App PROMO CODES!6 April 2011
- UPDATE Here are the winners: Fran, Tisane, David, Kanemotto, mornir, Vileru, Art, forestsprite, Mick, hpar (check your email gentlemen).

The Remembering the Kanji official flashcard and review app has just been updated to version 1.2! It includes the much requested keyword to kanji review mode, among other things (see full update notes on the iTunes Store page).
To celebrate Mirai LLP sent me 10 PROMO CODES which can be used to redeem a copy of the app for free. The app is currently priced at $4.99 on the iTunes Store. - New domain name survey4 April 2011
- UPDATE2: The results of the poll. Your comments were very helpful, and I'm still looking for thoughts and suggestions about the domain name.
UPDATE: The free Wufoo form is nearing the limit of 100 entries, which I thought would be sufficient to get a sample of people's preferences. Since it went quicker than I expected maybe I'll throw a round #2 with some ideas that have been sent in the form comments and in the thread linked above.
We have a discussion about a possible new domain name in the forum. Please share your thoughts, thank you!
