Pronouncing Yaqin

30 March, 2010 (13:34) | news | No comments

A good multi-lingual friend of mine showed me that pronouncing Yaqin is easy. The only bit you need to remember is that a q in pinyin (the romanisation system for mandarin) is pronounced like a ch with the tongue flat, as in cheese as opposed to bent tongue as in Charlie.
Thanks, Andy.

Server upgrade

11 March, 2010 (00:35) | news | No comments

I’ve upgraded the server that this site runs from. It is now a P4 2.8 HT – it used to be an Athlon 2600XP. I’ve also tripled the RAM to 1.5GB. I’d love more bandwidth but I can’t afford it – sorry.

Yaqin Tube Valve facebook group

 I thought I’d make a Yaqin facebook group to see if it turned out to be a better place for discussion etc. Facebook allows uploading of images and a more casual interface than my website. Please join up and see how it works out. Ultimately it will only be any good if people use it.

Dear visitors, after a downtime of about five months, I’m glad to say the site is now back up. This was an unavoidable result of difficult personal circumstances. All I can say now is welcome back.
