Interview With UIzard Creator Ryu Sunt-tae

volume4 writes "A couple of days ago, the folks over at Ajaxian introduced the world to UIzard, an awesome creation by a Korean developer using YUI. There is actually a heck of a lot more about it, and the excitement about the app caused the UIzard website to go down. Most people could not interact with the app or learn more. A day or so later, the website was back but I could still not access the app. I went on a search to find the creator of UIzard to learn more about it, and finally, through Jinho.Jung on Flickr, I got ahold of his email address and hooked up with Ryu Sunt-tae to learn more."

I am 99.999999999999999999999999999999999% sure that his name is supposed to be typed as Ryu Sung-tae (Sung, not Sunt; there is not in my studies of Korean some such name, given, or family...). Besides, g and t on the US / Latin keyboard are adjacent, and all the more this seems to be a typo. If it was a phone interview, with the interviewer making corrections, it's then even possible that his name is Seung, not Sung, as in the director http://www.koreanfilm.org/films2008.html Ryu Seung-jin.

Unfortunately, it appears the opensource site seems to have it wrong. But, *i* could be wrong, so maybe you can e-mail him and ask him if his name is actually misspelled on the site.

For those not aware, the "WI" as in wizard or whiskey in the US/English speakign areas is written in Korean charactes that look in English like "oi", but pronounced making for it to look like "uh-wee-zard". So, it's neat/nifty a spin to have UI and Wi merged for UIzard, instead of just using Wizard....

Just my two cents...

From his email I have it as: "Best Regards, Ryu Sunt-tae"

Yeah, what the hell is this? Why do people post articles without at least a *little* bit of description of what the hell they are talking about!?
