Vista kinda sucks...

no smoking
Hooked up my tablet to my new laptop for the first time. I tried to draw with it, but every time I made a broad stroke with my pen, this symbol came up saying "drag me" or something, and didn't make my stroke. And then when it did pick up my stroke, it wouldn't be a smooth curve, it would be a strange diagonal that hooks into a curve at the last minute. SO FRUSTRATING!!

But then I'm kinda okay too because this Vista has this AWESOME function where I can drag out a slate type thing and write. It can read all languages that I want, but since I only know a few, I only had those as options. Did that make any sense? But look! I can write in my elementary level Japanese on my laptop now! XDD *is gleeful beyond measure*

And then after I write it on the slate thingy, it can insert it where type should go. Like so!

はじめまして.とりんです.じゅうはっさいです.San Jose Stateだいがくのがくせいです.いちねんせいです.どうぞうよろしく.

>_< It's all in hiragana, but we haven't learned katakana yet...and yes. SO COOL!!

Yep, it's actually Trinh, but the "h" is silent. XDD

Is Trinh a Vietnamese name?
Or am I making things up? X-D

Haha, no, you're right. My parents came from Vietnam, but we're Chinese. Weird, I know. o_O

More than half of the Vietnamese I've met in the U.S. are Chinese Vietnamese, so not weird at all *g*

Your parents must be awesomely multilingual...

>_< So true! My mom can speak Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, and of course, English. o_O It's insane. I don't know how she can keep them all straight in her head. Dad has the same abilities, just not the Mandarin, though he can understand it well enough...and he can't read Chinese.

XDD Yay for Chinese Vietnamese!

Must be great for Japanese homework!

Maybe you need to fiddle with the settings?

Japanese homework is actually done in a workbook, so it's better for practice? Maybe?

I tried that, nothing happened because there were no settings to fool around with! *is frustrated beyond words*
