I sometimes browse Waygook.org to see what all the foreigners in Korea are complaining about now. Recently I discovered that you can actually get RSS feeds for most Waygook sections, which makes browsing much easier. I scroll through in my RSS reader on the subway, find something that looks interesting, then save it so that when I get home I can open my computer, log-in to Waygook, and leave disparaging comments. Then I log-in with my other account and troll my first account. Then I sit back and watch the feeding frenzy as everyone takes sides....

I recently updated my Lubuntu netbook to version 13.10 and was appalled to discover that iBus is now a mess. If you check the forums, you'll see loads of horror stories about this new version of iBus and how many Asian script users (Japanese, Chinese, Korean...) are having difficulty making it work. Most are switching to alternate input methods. For me personally, I got iBus working for Hangul typing, but I had to keep manually switching between English/Korean by clicking with the mouse on the keyboard input icon in the toolbar ("panel" I should...

I recently updated my Lubuntu and noticed that the scrollbars are now nearly too thin to see. On a netbook, it's almost impossible. Fortunately, it's easy to fix.Run this command in a terminal:sudo leafpad /usr/share/themes/Lubuntu-default/gtk-2.0/scrollbar.rcEdit this line in the resulting document that pops up:GtkRange::slider-width = 20(replace "20" with your choice. 20 is a bit thick but that's how I like it. That's what she said)Logout and Log-in again. Done.Source: http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=31638#p48...

PROBLEM: You are chatting with your Korean coworkers at the bar after work. Everyone is going around the table talking about their favorite movie. It comes to your turn. You confidently say "Ernest Goes to Camp" but they have no idea what you're talking about. What was this called in Korean? Nowadays "western" movies tend to carry their titles directly over into hangul. Thus, Robocop is 로보캅, not 로봇 경찰관. But others have had their titles translated...
