A BIG thanks to my friends Chen and Scofield for helping me find a hanyu pinyin text input method for my (old) laptop. If you have chatted with me on Skype and I used any Chinese, it was only because I was at the 网吧, because I had no Chinese on this computer. Now I can type Chinese from home (i.e. my temporary home here in China - back at my real home in Australia we’ve already got Chinese input installed on our desktop).

Chen and Scofield live in Taiwan, and I really hope we can catch up with them someday.

In Taiwan they don’t use hanyu pinyin at all, but a method (or methods) related to their 注音符号. If you’d like to learn how to write zhuyin fuhao, don’t forget that I’ve written a one-page guide, which you can access here.

If you are a billionaire and happen to be reading this, yes, I only have an old laptop and I’d like a new one and I am very poor.
