I have been more or less absent from the intertubes for the past month. Why? Well, other than preparing to move to Vietnam in January, I've been undertaking a rather large project for my Japanese 355 class.
As I've mentioned before, I have ocular albinism (actually, it's oculocanteous albinism, if you want to split hairs). It's somewhat rare, and most often affects males more than females, and people of African or Japanese descent. I have Type 2, but Type 4 OB ONLY affects Japanese guys.
Yet, there are all of 2 websites in Japanese covering OA and OB. I'm not even making this up. And one of them is Wikipedia. What exists in Japanese is highly technical, and no real explanation of how to make one's life easier.
For my Japanese final, I'm setting the groundwork for a bilingual OA/OB website, that discusses the conditions in detail, as well as things one can do to make their lives easier (glasses with reflective covering, reverse-color monitors, etc.).
I'm doing all of the texts, working on logos, and so forth, but I cannot code for my life. This is not an immediate request, but if you or anyone you know would be interested in helping me actually set up the site... it would be greatly appreciated. Anyone who can help in any way would be a godsend.
If it doesn't go off the ground, I'll be disappointed, sure, but it is not something that is going to change my grade (just a portion of the technical aspect of OA was translated for a grade in the class) but I want to continue this well past the classroom.
Much appreciated,
division-ten
PS: I've started to learn coding by myself, using Yahoo as a dummy page and template. Unfortunately, I can;'t make the site recognize itself as being Japanese, one has to change the settings on their computer manually to see it. Anyone know how to fix this?
