  • Elevator Speech about KRC

    I wrote this elevator speech about KRC at last night’s APIAVote training:

    Hi, my name is Yongho Kim and I work with KRC, not to be confused with KFC.
    Actually, we’re kind of like KFC. We are crunchy and engaging.

    Did your parents ever get yelled at a government office for not understanding English? That’s just wrong. And we work to make sure immigrants live with dignity. We educate people and hold protests to get it done.

    And unlike KFC, which is bad for your body, we are good for the community. We have won Medi-Cal translation compliance, children’s health insurance, and much more. Mmm.. delicious!

    Can you join us at our next meeting? We have a youth meeting every Monday at 6pm.. we’ll have tons of hot wings, ok?

  • Customize Google Spreadsheet Forms – simplified

    I stripped down GOS’s excellent how-to on using javascript to display a custom message instead of sending users to the unfriendly-looking Google Spreadsheet Forms confirmation page. The simplified code follows:


    function custommsg()
    {
    document.getElementById("form-message").style.display="";
    document.getElementById("form-message").innerHTML="THANK YOU MESSAGE HERE";
    }

  • Unicode characters in filename leads to "failed to convert command to 8 bit charset" in FileZilla

    On Windows XP, I had converted 150 low-resolution (160×120, 10fps) Quicktime MOV files to FLV files, and was trying to upload them through FTP using FileZilla 3.1.2

    One of the files somehow had unicode characters inside the filename: “07-82.mov07-82.flv”, which produced the below error:

    08:37:40 Status: Starting upload of D:docsGoogle Talk Received Filesvideos07-82.mov07-82.flv
    (bla bla)
    08:38:25 Command: STOR 07-82.mov07-82.flv
    08:38:25 Error: Failed to convert command to 8 bit charset

    The error was solved by renaming the file to plain ASCII.

  • Cite Extension Reflist unavail to anon users

    MediaWiki’s Cite Extension Reflist, normally pulled with the tag, was invisible to anon users, while visible to registered users. The source showed this:


    Notes


    I deactivated the parser cache by adding the line
    $wgEnableParserCache=false;
    in LocalSettings.php

    And the problem was solved. Not sure why it was happening, though.
