  1. (Nick) My quest to learn 30 word writings in 30 minutes each day for 3 months appears not ambitious enough. 60/day so far.
  2. (Nick) Shrunk the iOS app binary size by 5MB today. Thanks, ImageOptim! imageoptim.com @pornelski
  3. (Nick) Favorite character mnemonic? For me, it's jww1066's mnemonic for 教: _education_ is an *old man beating a child* with a stick.
  4. @AnimaBb Skritter is ten US dollars a month. Not sure what the Malaysian conversion will end up being.

  6. (Nick) New Skritter Chinese iOS app video at skritter.com/ios
  7. (Nick) And here's the Skritter Japanese iOS app icon by @artua_design twitter.com/SkritterHQ/sta…
  8. @solidfox Good to know. We wanted to get more screen space available for the prompt. I hope that nervous feeling doesn't survive usage.
  9. (Nick) Here's the new Skritter Chinese iOS app icon, designed by artua_design twitter.com/SkritterHQ/sta…

  11. (Nick) Finished shooting iOS app video. Check out my pro screencasting studio setup (iPhone running Skritter below): twitter.com/SkritterHQ/sta…
  12. (Nick) Thinking about trying to learn 3000 new Chinese words in 3 months in 30 minutes a day (one every 54 seconds). Think it's possible?
  13. @simonjohnfowler That's how I felt when I first started using it, too!
  14. (Nick) What's your favorite Chinese character? Mine is 蛋. I think it is pretty. No one has agreed with me yet.
  15. @cebrigham Nice going! Which university?
  16. (Nick) Busy finishing the app, so set a goal of 10 min Skritter daily. Impossible to stick to--can't stop, always end up doing more.
  17. @elinhansson Too many links to dispatch via Twitter! Maybe a blog post is a good idea. Stay tuned.
