Okay, it's time to accept I have a coding problem. A sickness, an obsession, if you will.

I was sitting in my kitchen studying Japanese, my shiny new Sony Mylo sitting next to me. I was enjoying having the opportunity of having my computer switched off (seeing as I can just switch on skype on my Mylo). I found a word I didn't recognise in my notes. My paper dictionary was over the other side of the room. Surely there must be a way for me to look up this word easily...

This is the point at which you can spot the obsession. Any normal person would have opened up the mylo, launched the web browser and looked up the word online. Job done*. I, on the other hand, fired up my laptop, downloaded the reference documents and tech specs of the Mylo and spent two hours writing a Japanese-English dictionary widget for it. It's fully functional and translates between English, romaji Japanese and kana Japanese. I'll upload it here and on the official Sony Mylo Widget gallery once I've come up with a cool name and a shiny logo.

It's a sickness, I tell you, a sickness...

* [edit] In retrospect, a normal person would have just walked across the room to get the dictionary.
