LT

Natter about LT.

I've given up waiting for LT to get Unicode right. I'll still use it for cataloging, but other than inventory, it'll be of no use until it gets a serious overhaul. Sigh. At least those with Japanese texts will find it useful, if incomplete.

On the other hand, I've found the very best reading there in the Ancient China group, http://www.librarything.com/groups/ancientchina LOL!

I picked up Yotsuba&! volume 4 in Japanese for the teens. The younger one was thrilled to be able to read the first three pages and understand them. When you see the first three pages, you'll understand how that's cheating ...

I back up every time I sit down and do any significant data entry. I wouldn't if I were just adding English books, but typing in all the Chinese manually is very slow so I don't want to lose that data.

I'm not sure I care all that much about the cataloging/inventory. If I'm putting things where they belong, I can always just go look on a shelf to see what I have and I collect very few series so it's easy to remember ...
