Nate's blog

During the past few days you may have been thinking, “Why has Nate not made any new posts”. Well dear readers, I recently made the mistake of buying an Xbox 360 have spend much of my free time on it. Below is my gamer card.

About 3 weeks ago I got around to bulding a new computer for myself. I have yet to post its specs… that is until now:

I really hate it when developers change something when the old system worked just as well if not better than the new one. Mozilla did it when they got rid of the lock icon if FireFox and it looks like google just did when they moved the tabs in iGoogle.

The old iGoogle had tabs at the top of the page, like almost every other website.

 However the new iGoogle has moved the tabs to the side.

If you are like me and want the old tabs back then follow these 3 easy steps…

1) Go to http://www.google.co.uk/ig?hl=en

2) Click the sign in button in the top right corner and if prompted sign in

3) Enjoy the old iGoogle tabs and update any bookmarks or homepage settings

Now that google translate has Hebrew, I can’t help but feel that the other Jewish languages must feel left out. However here is a list of good resources for other Jewish languages.

Yiddish

There is a good Yiddish/English dictionary here.

There is a Yiddish wikipedia here.

Ladino

There is a good Ladino dictionary here.

Dzhidi

Unfortunately there is not a lot about Dzhidi on the Internet, however wikipedia does have an article about it here.

For the longest time the best online Hebrew translator was milon.co.il. Unfortunaly milon.co.il can only translate one word at a time. However it looks like Google Translator now works for Hebrew!!! Let the homework cheating help commence.
