I started memorizing the Thai alphabet this morning. It’s coming along pretty well. I realized that if I wait to study Thai until I’m done with all these projects, I’ll have wasted a lot of time, and I may never even get to start. So I’m going to split my time between Thai and the various projects (like the Vim article and PGSS and the etexts).

I think I’m going to start reading the Bangkok Post each day (it’s Thailand’s largest English-language newspaper). That way I’ll know what’s going on there (politically, mainly, but it’ll also help provide recent flavor). I hardly ever read the newspaper nowadays, so I’m frightfully unaware of current events, other than the big ones like 9/11 that everyone talks about.
