The GownFull service have been stopped for about eight hours today.
The reason is the server has been down from ~15:00 to 23:00 due to Power Supply outage problem.
We tried to recover the service once we have discovered the problem.
The problem has fixed now.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused, and also lack of server monitoring and recovering
We are going to do better with this experience.
Thank you for you care for GownFull.

Input chinese on iPhone using GownFull
iPhone does not build in any IME and it causes difficulty to input chinese there. Now, with GownFull, iPhone users can now input chinese on any webpage.
Here is a tutorial to power your iPhone to have support of IME:
1. Open Internet Explorer 7 on your PC and go to http://www.gownfull.com/. You will see three icons, and then click the purple one "GownFull".
2. You will see a link "Start GownFull". Right click on the link and select "Add To favourite".
3. You will see a warning message telling that the link might be dangerous. (It is because the link is a bookmarklet and it will run some program code.) Click "Yes" in this dialog:
4. Then, click "Add".
5. You should see a new bookmark under "My Favourite" menu:
6. The next step is to synchronize your iPhone with your PC using iTunes. After doing this, you will see the bookmark in Safari of your iPhone. Your iPhone is now powered by GownFull and can input chinese on any website!
7. You can go to any forum or webmail and open your bookmark list, then click "Start GownFull (Alpha)".
8. Wait a second and then you will see our GownFull IME bar appear on the top of the page. If you do not see it, try to scroll to the top of the page.
9. Zoom-in to the GownFull IME bar and click the down-arrow to select your favourite Input Method:
10. Wait for the loading of the IM, and then you can now enter Chinese in any textarea/input box.
(Note that: The first character of iPhone is in capital letter, and it cannot be captured by our IME. Currently, you have to press "Shift" to overcome this restriction. We will address this problem in our later release.)
We know that it is still very inconvenient to use our IME on iPhone. That's why we need your opinions and make our service better. Don't hesitate to tell us in our Google Group http://groups.google.com/group/gownfull if you have any questions or suggestions.

GownFull facilitates students' project
Last week, I was invited by the Department of Computing, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, to introduce QR Code for the students' Final Year Project(FYP) on the Intelligent Airport development.
GownFull IME can help them to generate QR Code in any platforms and they would like to use this as prototype as e-ticket at the future development. It is a big motivation for our development team!!
No matter how the development would be, I, on behalf of GownFull, wish them every success in their FYP!
Thanks for the invitation of Dr. Henry Chan!
(P.S. Also thanks him to give a nickname to me as "Kid of GownFull (功夫仔)", haha!)

I would be happy if people / organisations request for demonstration or presentation on GownFull. Please feel free to contact me.
