Mistranslations

Piracy isn’t all fun and games, you know. Sometimes it’s comedy, too …

Edit:  Three months on, and a new (working) link

A much needed update

It’s been a month. A new job does that to you.  Publication, painting, and pissants follow.

So, what’s new. The article below was finally posted on slashdot.

We’ve just about finished painting the back room. Getting the paint colour right has been a mission in its own right. The first time we got the paint, it turned out we were the 1 in a million that get a bad batch. Not only did the colour not match the first time, when we took it back and tried to have the tones adjusted, it went black when they put in yellow colouring. Very strange.

So, three coats later we’re almost done.

I’ve also been having lots of fun with a site that I’m a moderator on. We’ve had it up to here with legal threats, so the latest was finally the straw that broke the camel’s back. We’ve gotten legal advice, we’re in the process of changing the way things work, and we’re making our position known and clear to all the other participants who decide they’d rather work against us rather than with us.

Other updates:

  • Fixed the banner above so it finally fills the entire space. Five minutes to fix, two months of procrastination.
  • Updated the flickr link to the left to point to my Pro account.
  • Uploaded the same photo list from my old account to my new account.

Still to do:

  • Go through the thousand or so photos I’ve take lately and upload the best.
  • Start writing again.
  • Paint the other half of the house.
  • Buy a plasma. :)

All good fun. Who said life was easy. :)
