Linguistic Waves
Talking about catching waves, I had been annoyed majorly by the uselessness of Safari not incorporating any decent URL shortcut function1 without either a paid for extension or a dreadful input manager hack.
Now Shaun Inman has launched a somewhat more circumspect but more cross platform way of invoking the same functionality: Shortwave. His initial list, though useful is not what I would use the functionality most for in my Saft days. So I’ve added some links to dictionaries I use a lot and some I don’t use that much: alper.nl/wave.txt
Additions for the linguist’s shortwave are most welcome. Still looking for decent French, Mandarin, Arabic and Russian dictionaries.
