Around Summertime I <a href="https://jeffcarp.substack.com/p/the-1-year-running-injury">made a breakthrough</a> in discovering it wasn’t a knee issue but a toe issue. Since then I’ve been keeping the mileage low and trying to build a healthy base.</p> <p>In total I ran 361 miles this year, which is down from usual but I was very consistent in my training. I was super grateful to have the consistency and support from my running buddies at WeRunSF and Noe Run Club.</p> /posts/2013/japanese-programming/ Mon, 25 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0000 /posts/2013/japanese-programming/ <p>I&rsquo;m certainly guilty of being a little to anglo-centric from time to time (pizza is an American food, right?), so I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that you can program in languages other than English. You can see the full list on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-English-based_programming_languages">Wikipedia</a>. Since I&rsquo;m into both computers and Japan, I thought I&rsquo;d give a few of them a spin.</p> <h2 id="dolittle-ドリトル">Dolittle ドリトル</h2> <p>According to its <a href="http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%89%E3%83%AA%E3%83%88%E3%83%AB_(%E3%83%97%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B0%E3%83%A9%E3%83%9F%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E8%A8%80%E8%AA%9E)">Wikipedia page</a>, Dolittle is a programming language for education developed by <a href="http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A4%A7%E9%98%AA%E9%9B%BB%E6%B0%97%E9%80%9A%E4%BF%A1%E5%A4%A7%E5%AD%A6">Osaka Electro-Communication University</a>.
