Tokyo’s Muslim

Like everything else, the festivals run exactly on time; 6:00-7:40. I still think there is something perverse about scheduling enjoyment, but maybe that is just me…

I am working on this Kanji dictionary program that helps sort out similar-looking (but different-meaning) words. I found an open source dictionary (kradfile) and was doing some analysis on it when I came across a total of 252 radicals (shown below). However, a popular online list has 214 radicals. What’s up?

[0] => 匕 [1] => ノ [2] => 勹 [3] => ヨ [4] => 亠 [5] => 厶 [6] => 川 [7] => 一 [8] => ｜ [9] => 二 [10] => ハ [11] => 衣 [12] => ⺅ [13] => 口 [14] => 大 [15] => 矢 [16] => 廾 [17] => 文 [18] => 斉 [19] => 并 [20] => 木 [21] => 王 [22] => 羊 [23] => 耒 [24] => 日 [25] => 白 [26] => 入 [27] => 冂 [28] => 凵 [29] => 儿 [30] => 冖 [31] => 冫 [32] => 刀 [33] => 工 [34] => 丶 [35] => 力 [36] => 九 [37] => 生 [38] => 十 [39] => 又 [40] => 尸 [41] => 巾 [42] => 父 [43] => 田 [44] => 彑 [45] => 水 [46] => 月 [47] => 西 [48] => 門 [49] => 亅 [50] => 彳 [51] => 金 [52] => 土 [53] => 長 [54] => 女 [55] => 宀 [56] => 耳 [57] => 禸 [58] => 虫 [59] => 夂 [60] => ⻖ [61] => 人 [62] => 寸 [63] => 厂 [64] => 山 [65] => 干 [66] => 而 [67] => 鬼 [68] => 小 [69] => 示 [70] => 灬 [71] => 鳥 [72] => 几 [73] => 夕 [74] => 豆 [75] => 心 [76] => 忄 [77] => 爪 [78] => 扌 [79] => 手 [80] => 臼 [81] => 隹 [82] => 卜 [83] => 子 [84] => 幺 [85] => 攵 [86] => 至 [87] => 戈 [88] => 刂 [89] => 𠆢 [90] => 穴 [91] => 谷 [92] => 屮 [93] => 爿 [94] => 目 [95] => 罒 [96] => 自 [97] => 竹 [98] => 高 [99] => 欠 [100] => 氵 [101] => 广 [102] => 羽 [103] => 革 [104] => 火 [105] => 卩 [106] => 士 [107] => 牛 [108] => 乙 [109] => 犭 [110] => 屯 [111] => ⺾ [112] => 疒 [113] => 貝 [114] => 禾 [115] => 頁 [116] => 缶 [117] => 見 [118] => 毛 [119] => 亀 [120] => 世 [121] => 米 [122] => 戸 [123] => 糸 [124] => 聿 [125] => ⺌ [126] => 匚 [127] => 臣 [128] => ⺹ [129] => 氏 [130] => 舌 [131] => 舟 [132] => 青 [133] => 風 [134] => 乃 [135] => 馬 [136] => 隶 [137] => 止 [138] => ⻏ [139] => 皿 [140] => 血 [141] => 衤 [142] => 雨 [143] => 角 [144] => 言 [145] => 豸 [146] => 足 [147] => 車 [148] => 酉 [149] => 食 [150] => 骨 [151] => 比 [152] => 黽 [153] => 弓 [154] => 疋 [155] => 斤 [156] => 彡 [157] => 井 [158] => 久 [159] => 廴 [160] => 也 [161] => 立 [162] => 辛 [163] => マ [164] => 五 [165] => 亡 [166] => 曰 [167] => 囗 [168] => 弋 [169] => 方 [170] => 及 [171] => 支 [172] => 犬 [173] => 用 [174] => 艮 [175] => 玄 [176] => 歹 [177] => ユ [178] => 冊 [179] => 母 [180] => 毋 [181] => 辰 [182] => 已 [183] => 巴 [184] => 里 [185] => 免 [186] => 非 [187] => 奄 [188] => 虍 [189] => 甘 [190] => 走 [191] => 韋 [192] => 勿 [193] => 音 [194] => 面 [195] => 舛 [196] => 豕 [197] => 品 [198] => 黄 [199] => 癶 [200] => 尢 [201] => 尤 [202] => 无 [203] => 齊 [204] => 辶 [205] => 無 [206] => 黒 [207] => 鹿 [208] => 元 [209] => 牙 [210] => 巛 [211] => 岡 [212] => 矛 [213] => 鼻 [214] => 石 [215] => 身 [216] => 殳 [217] => 瓜 [218] => 肉 [219] => 行 [220] => 鬲 [221] => 麻 [222] => 歯 [223] => 首 [224] => 赤 [225] => 魚 [226] => 竜 [227] => 爻 [228] => 斗 [229] => 皮 [230] => 片 [231] => 滴 [232] => 韭 [233] => 釆 [234] => 巨 [235] => 邑 [236] => 气 [237] => 鼠 [238] => 礻 [239] => 色 [240] => 香 [241] => 鹵 [242] => 龠 [243] => 瓦 [244] => 鼓 [245] => 黍 [246] => 飛 [247] => 髟 [248] => 鬥 [249] => 鬯 [250] => 麦 [251] => 黹 [252] => 鼎

If you want to duplicate the result yourself, here is the PHP code to use.


$krad_input = file_get_contents(dirname(__FILE__) . "/krad.txt");
$krad_array = explode("\n", $krad_input);
unset($krad_input);
$total = count($krad_array);
$i = 0;
$radicalarray = array();
$stored = array();
while ($i < $total){
$string = $krad_array[$i];
if (substr($string, 0, 1) != "#"){
$kanji_and_radicals = extract_kanji_and_radicals($string);
//print_r($kanji_and_radicals);
foreach($kanji_and_radicals['radicals'] as $radical){
if (!isset($stored[$radical])){
$stored[$radical] = 1;
$radicalarray[] = $radical;
}
}
// We know the Kanji. We know its radicals. We can insert it into the database.
}
$i++;
}
print_r($radicalarray);
\n
function extract_kanji_and_radicals($string){
$regex = "`(\s:\s|\s+)`imus";
$matches = preg_split($regex, $string);
$return['kanji'] = $matches[0];
array_shift($matches);
$return['radicals'] = $matches;
return $return;
}


You can get the dictionary file from Kanjicafe.com.

-edit-
Curiouser and curiouser, it seems that the classic number is 212. There are a bunch of radicals in there that simply do not exist classically; perhaps they are an amalgamation of the radicals available in all the various Japanese-English dictionaries? (In some cases the radicals were altered to more closely suit the kanji itself)

I can’t believe I just wasted 2 hours fixing this stupid problem.

First the problem lies with network-manager. It doesn’t play well with EMobile and there is no simple way to connect with the modem directly from 9.04. (I read some chatter about modifying the 10-modem.ifi file, but I think this only works with the D03HW.)

To connect, I’m using the pon/poff method, but you can also connect with wvdial. The config file that I’ve tested successfully with wvdial is as follows:

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
Dial Command = ATDT
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99***1#
Password = em
Username = em


Finally, you need to disable network manager. I got these instructions from The HungryCoder.

1. Click System -> Administration -> Services
2. Choose Network Manager and click Stop and Disable
3. You can stop it from command line using
   sudo service NetworkManager stop
4. Restart Pidgin.

This also fixes the irritating Firefox “Offline” issues.
