Changes in 1.00...

• Firefox/Thunderbird 1.0 is no longer supported.
• Pressing the "A" key while the popup is displayed allows you to move the popup to the upper-left or lower-right of the screen.
• Pressing the "C" key while the popup is displayed copies the contents of the popup to the clipboard.
• Pressing the "S" key while the popup is displayed saves the contents of the popup to a file.
• A "brute force" search of the dictionaries is now possible in the LookupBar. This is slow, but does allow you to perform, for example, simple English -> Japanese searches, and partial word searches. Asterisk * (narrow or wide) may be used before or after the word to indicate that the text may begin with anything or end with anything. A more complex regular expression can be used if you type : (colon) before the expression.
• Updated icons, thanks to Mark James's icon collection (http://www.famfamfam.com/).
• New color schemes.
• More customizable options.
• Lots of internal code cleanup and voodoo.

rikaichan is a popup Japanese-English/German/French/Russian dictionary for Firefox and Thunderbird.

Changes in 0.5.13:

• The enter key can now be used to switch between the dictionaries. Thanks to Charles for the hint on how to make it finally work on a Mac. :)
• The kanji display is now configurable.
• Fixed a problem in preferences that prevented the display of some options.
• Fixed version information to make it work on Firefox 2.0b2+.

The dictionaries have also been updated to fix the version information, and while I'm there, I've updated the data using Jim Breen's 2006-09-13 dictionary files.

These are printable kanji flash cards on PDF that can be used along with the books Remembering The Kanji I, II, and III by James Heisig.

After a few changes to the Remembering The Kanji Flash Cards template, and thanks to Wikipedia's Hepburn Romanization article (and the inventor of copy & paste), we now have the Hiragana & Katakana Flash Cards.

This printable PDF includes the standard hiragana, katakana, and the extended katakana syllables - 249 flash cards in 21 double-sided pages.
