Ok, I did install Ubuntu(finally!) and it worked pretty fine!

Since it was the first linux other than previous red hat boxes, it was kinda scary since I thought only red hat was interested in user-friendly environment.

But while installing and changing some configurations, I realized that this linux is really close to the product that is ‘acceptable’ for regular users.

Anyway, since I wanted to type Korean characters under the English environment, I had to some configurations.

Frankly, I spend sometime to work on the Korean input program. I used to use nabi, but there was SCIM which looked great. But it didn’t understand my keyboard correctly, and it even didn’t start at first! (since my default language was English.)

this site contains THE solution that I had.

The second problem was, even though I was successful in starting and using SCIM, still I had to use ctrl+space to change the input character. I wanted to use my Korean/English & Hangul/Hanj keys.

I DID try a lot of things that can affect the global range in the box. (But I really didn’t need to since I am the only user for this laptop.)
Anyway, I changed a file [kr] at [/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/]

partial default alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols “hangul_keys” {
include “us”
name[Group1]= “Korean”;
key<RALT> { [ Hangul ] }; //
key<RCTL> { [ Hangul_Hanja ] };
};

which used to be……………..

partial default alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols “hangul_keys” {
include “us”
name[Group1]= “Korean”;
key<F71> { [ Hangul ] };
key<F72> { [ Hangul_Hanja ] };
};

Now it works almost perfect!!!!

2007-01-05: fixed the < and > problem which caused the last two configurations look same. (didn’t thought about the escape characters)

어제 밤에 지인들에게 이력서를 보내고 피드백을 부탁하였다.

새벽에 퇴근하고 집에 들어간 후배가 꼼꼼히 지적해준 것부터
전체적인 impression과 추가할 내용에 대한 지적들
그리고 하나하나 수정까지 해준 feedback까지…

지적해준 내용들을 보면서 참으로 챙피했다.
나름 직장 생활 3년을 했기에
많이 안다고 자부했었는데
native까지는 절대 아니지만,
그래도 영어도 어느 정도는 할 수 있다고 생각했는데
구성에서부터 자잘한 표현까지
고칠 것들 투성이었다.

완전히 벌거벗은 느낌이었다.

하지만…
그대로 다행이다… 싶었다.

습작같은 이력서를 검토해 달라고 보냈다고
타박줄 사람들도 아니고
만약 지적해준 것들을 듣지 못했다면
이런 이력서를 그대로 냈을지도 모르니까…

하지만…발가벗은 느낌은 어쩔수 없다…

I was looking at the old homepage of AYLA, a group of exciting people, and I found this joke. Enjoy! ^^

아주 재미 있는 포스팅을 봤다.

구글에서 “failure”를 검색하면,
재미있는게 나온다.
아래는 따라 해본 것. ㅋㅋ

After a few unplanned Jack & Coke shots…
I suddenly began to feel like to look through my old photos in the gallery.

When the world turns into a silent place, play Billie Holiday’s songs.
If you have some drinks to take you to right before the wasted-status, you will enjoy this.
