It was Friday afternoon when Santhosh (Santhosh Pillai, aka THE Santhosh, the guy who helped us with the collation story for Malayalam way back when) was asking a question. The question was: Hi: Is there an updated version of this page http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/keyboards/kbdinmal.htm available now that Malayalam has Atomic Chillus in Unicode 5.1

The other day, in “What kind of soup?” is not exactly a soup question, is it? , I mentioned that I might have a technical example of the issue of Not exactly a soup question, is it? so think of this blog as me finally getting around to doing that

In one of the very first blogs I wrote, I pointed out that Microsoft does not use the Unicode Collation Algorithm . Believe it or not, at the time some people actually asked me whether I thought I might get in trouble for that blog. Looking at it now I can’t even imagine why they would have thought that — there are so many other blogs that are much more effective at getting me into trouble, after all.

It has been several weeks since my last blog in/on this Blog. If you are a regular reader, you may have noticed this already, though one of the downsides of the whole RSS/subscription model is that for the most part it is only the act of doing something gets noticed.
