Outlook problem viewing MAPI List on Japanese Client
Sep 30th
Windows Vista/7 finally adds support for having multiple languages for the menu system which should have been included way back in the Windows XP era.
Anyways to the problem. This applies to computers with the Japanese language pack installed. However, it might apply to other systems using multi-byte fonts. When you try to view the (default) “All Address Lists” and such they will appear empty. The Windows XP/Office 2003 machines would show the MAPI listing with no problems. However, all the Vista/Win7 machines either with Office 2003 or 2007 would not show anything in the MAPI listing. After trying several things, I found the solution and it was so simple. If your location is set to Japan/Japanese you need to change the way that Windows is doing the lookup inside of the region properties from doing XJIS lookup to Radical/Stroke lookup. You’ll be able to see your global lists again.
The process goes as follows:
Regional and Language Options > Formats (tab) > “Customize this format…”
Region and Language Settings Screen
Customize Regional Options > Sorting (tab)
Change XJIS to Radical/Stroke
Customize Regional Options

In Japanese girls apparently.
An article over at Japan Times spells out the “wonderful” story of some of the locals here.
Yet another interesting way to learn English

For all Japanese people out there, here is an English lesson that you might find less than helpful. (But funny, and maybe better to not watch at the office or at least with headphones)
はいはい、ワンポイント英会話・・・誰か作ったかな。多分会社以外で見れば良いと思う。面白いけど
Hamasaki Ayumi then and now. 浜崎あゆみ前と現在はちょっと違うな～
May 21st
I was going through a bunch of files on my harddisk seeing if there was anything that I needed to delete and came across some old pictures that I downloaded from somewhere I don’t remember anymore now. But hey, I’m glad I saved them because now I can share it with you.
As we all know, Hamasaki Ayumi is a very famous singer in Japan. But she wasn’t always like that. Here are a few pictures of what she looked like before she made it as a singer.
現在のあゆと元あゆはちょっと違うですね。私のハードディスクでゴミなファイルを探してたけどこれ見つけた。どこで・・・いつか・・・覚えてないけど消してなくてよかったな？ここで見せてあげる。 浜崎あゆみをご覧に下さい ↓元前
Well, those are all the before pictures. Here is a transitional one:
変わり中・・・
可愛いですね～～
ん～最初と比べれたら、全然ちゃうだけどカッコイイかな・・？

Yes, I know this isn’t anything new, but I found it on Youtube so if you have any Japanese people you would like to show it to they might (not) get a kick out of this.
Here is the English translation of the whole song, only, sorry there wasn’t any video for this.
サウスパークの番組でみんな忍者と思ってるで遊んでます。これはアメリカンガッグかな・・・だけど面白いと思います。 面白いですか？日本語なら分かるやすいでしょ？ ( ｀ー´)ノ
