The Nexus

A long time ago I used to speed-translate Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and xxxHolic.

I miss that time a lot, though I certainly don't miss being even more of a coward than I am now.

I also live somewhere (and have the misfortune of having been born there too) where working my ass off is barely enough to make a decent living, ergo I unfortunately have very little time to work on translations.

If you want to ask me about Japanese or C/C++/ObjC (I'm of the *nix variety though), or talk about videogames or music, you can comment to this post.

And finally, because people don't get it.

I am a person. That is all I have to say on the subject.

I've figured out a way to use my transport overhead to translate stuff (the Nokia 9300 is ♥ even if I haven't been able to load an IME into it yet), so I should be able to catch up with the Holic and Tsubasa chapters in a few weeks.

( You want long spoilers? Go read Holic or something. )

You know that bombastic chapter you probably expected 200 to be? Well, here it is.

( So how do you pay for a time rewind anyway? )

Written on sort-of-a-request from a person in my f-list. I hope it isn't too brain-frying.

For those of you who don't want to see a lot of math technobabble, skip right past this entry.

Get used to the delays, people. Barring a complete disaster, I have a full-time job starting from next Monday. Most likely only the Tsubasa spoilers won't be affected (and perhaps Holic if the spoilers are posted as early as they were today).

( The less-than-triumphant return... )

There's nothing like trying to translate a chapter that you should've translated two days ago while people won't shut the hell up about how you should be doing this and that, completely ignoring what a hellish weekend you had. ¬¬

Announcement (2008.09.06): So, I was calmly translating Holic this morning, and decided to check on what I should do to apply for the JLPT, and find out that the deadline in Brazil is today. So, I'm off again falling even more behind with my translations.

Announcement (2008.09.05): Guess what... another job interview today. So Holic will most likely be late. And hello, scanning community, do I need to whine all the time about the lateness of Holic scans? It does get old, you know.

Repeat with me: the worst language in the world is the language of Human Resources personnel. ¬¬

Nothing is going right for me today. ¬¬
