I am a father, a husband and a geek coder. My coding skills however are usually microsoft centric. That doesn’t mean i crap out when i hear unix / linux / java etc etc – its just not my thing. Over the years I have worked with C++, VB, ATL COM and about 10 years back I started looking into .NET. I professionally code in C#. My current skills are C#, ASP.NET, Silverlight, High performance background coding in Windows Service, WCF etc. In most cases you will only find most blogs relating to .NET framework. You will however need to make do with occasional whining. Since April this year, I finally ditched Windows Mobile 6.5 and embraced Windows Phone 7.
It was one of the best decisions and i love WP7.x platform. It is so user centric and I spend my free evenings writing a bit of code for WP7.x. Most things i have talked / shared has some relevance to what i do on WP7.x

Hello Hermit Dave,
My name is Kriya, I am a student at Reed College currently working on a psycholinguistics research project. As part of our project, I need to find the frequency of use of a certain set of Spanish words. We would like to use your site as a source of information, and I wanted to know if that was alright. If so, how would you like us to cite you? Thank you for all of your work!
Kriya and team
I think Hermit Dave should be just fine. Go ahead. Let me know if you need any input from my side.
Excellent! Thank you so much. Also, we have a quick question: when creating your frequencies, what are they out of? That is, if the word cat appears 4000 times, does that mean 4000 times out of 50000 words, or perhaps 100000, etc.
Thanks again,
Kriya
okay each word has associated frequency if list had two words cat with value 400 and dog with 100. this woud imply that total words under consideration were 500 and the frequency of each gives their relative usage. if you sum frequency of each word you will get overall set / count. these were generated from unique subtitles
FYI,
I have uploaded log files that contain general stats that might be helpful. There is a log file per language
