Post: Where's Khatzumoto?

What exactly makes you think it's a real girl exactly? If you look at the profile it seems pretty obvious it's just a joke and all written by Khatz.

Post: KanjiTomo - New OCR program for Japanese text

Is writing code for OCR difficult? It seems like it would be. How much time did it take you to write it?

Post: What order do you study/memorize Vocabulary in?

Look at the word, then look at the pronunciation and meaning of the word, and then try and memorize those two things when you see the word AKA how you read.

I cannot seem to find one anywhere. I understand it as an abstract concept, something slightly above your level, but slightly doesn't seem to be defined anywhere.

Why do you want to abandon Anki? It's not like it suddenly becomes useless, it's always more efficient than reading for remembering vocabulary.
