Interview with Microsoft Internationalization Guy Michael Kaplan
I’m a bit of a Linux freak myself, but I’m a big fan of Microsoft internationalization guy Michael Kaplan.
A few weeks ago Robert Scoble did a video interview with him for Channel 9:
Michael Kaplan - Bringing Windows Vista to International markets
I was happy to learn about the keyboard layout tool he created for Windows users. (Need to try that…)
Michael also has a great blog at Sorting It All Out. Naturally he often blogs about Windows-related stuff, but not exclusively — he knows Unicode like the back of his hand, and anybody who ends up futzing around with funny languages all day, well… the current blogger is automatically a fan. ☺
[…] Every character has a story; some of them have cartoons! Adam Hill contacted me via that contact link to point out Hacklog (Blogamundo). With a subtitle like “Poking holes in the language barrier since approximately one month from now” I guess it is saying something interesting! A quick perusal shows lots of interesting topics – it even linked to me after the Channel 9 interview…. Anyway, Adam specifically gave me a heads up about a potential regular feature: Unicode comic strips, the End Days are nigh.Pat promises/threatens to do more :) Well, since they all have stories, and some may now have cartoons, I have to wonder how long before we get the first graphic novel? Blogamundo seems to me like a quite worthy addition to the blogs I read, in any case. :-) This post brought to you by “⚇” (U+2687, a.k.a.
