Ringworm On My Maltese

VERSION OF EVENTS LATEST JOBS

Last day in Resistencia, Chaco. I had just finished the 15 th International Forum for the promotion of Books and Reading, organized by the Foundation Mempo Giardinelli, and VEGETAB in the hotel lobby, waiting we came to seek to bring to the airport, Angela Pradelli, Patricia Kolesnicov, Teresita Valdettaro, yo. Who else ..? We had planned to walk before the return currents but lacked power and too much heat. We went
us, writers and journalists, while politicians arrived at the hotel. I had read in the local paper that morning, about a meeting of some of the construction in which the marriage Duhalde participate. Fast reading and disinterested, I thought it was something of UOCRA or similar, when in fact it was the Church with some of the social construction.

Among the swarm of TV cameras and men Well right that inhabited the hotel, a lady approached us and as he got closer, I did, with incredible speed, a recognition on his face. I knew I had seen somewhere, and if I had seen somewhere had to have filed his face. The rest happened so fast, such things happen:
I thought, "Chiche Duhalde hell ..." and before he could ask me why I was tense and sour this gesture of school principal, came to our table, muttered something which of course did not understand and grabbed an ashtray.

Then I did what I usually do, my personal version of the facts relating my knowledge of the world had listened to what we do and what I had not heard, the reaction of others and inferences extras. And what came out was: "Chiche Duhalde should be against smoking in public places such as the hotel lobby and therefore angry, came to take out the ashtray, which is proof of the crime.
The problem is that As Chiche turned around with the ashtray in hand, my group erupted in laughter. And that was not the normal reaction to the situation I was imagining.

not only laughed, but congratulated Pradelli as if, in internal, had won in the first round.

Luckily I did not laugh more when all laugh, like that asshole that I did so many decades, and I ask what had happened Kolesnicov. I told it to me and recounted in digital Ñ, thus:

Pradelli Angela: "Go ahead, Chiche"
Resistance lobby. On one side of the chairs, writers and teachers who came to the Forum Promotion of Reading. The other, Edward and Chiche Duhalde, Ramón Puerta, a delegation that came to the conference "builders of society", the Archdiocesan Commission for Justice and Peace.
We looked at each distance. As if they saw us.
them flutter A few people, they take pictures. We
, feet on the coffee table, waiting for the van that will take us to the airport. Without warning, someone crosses the invisible line that separates us.
Chiche Duhalde is on the table where the writer Angela Pradelli takes his coffee.
- I stole the ashtray - says Chiche.
Pradelli just joined, feels good, looks:
- Robe, just.
The evil-minded smile.

So yes, I laughed too. I disarmed my fiction and reality built. Making us these quilombos
mental
is that we are the world ...

(I must say that as a journalist never published any of my "inference", but always interviewed, I found out, I researched and asked to be sure of the facts).

7 Month Old Has A Dry Cough

Overtime!: Interview with TF2 translator



Maybe I should start this post by apologizing for some things I said in my previous complaints about the translation of TF2. Not all. I remain convinced that there are better ways of doing things, but knowing the method has helped me understand why you are all well.

said, start with great news. Yesterday I was talking with a certain person (whose identity desvelaré) currently participates in the translation of TF2, as well as that of Alien Swarm (the name of achieving " Sombresaliente " is his work.) As if that were not enough exciting, is that occasionally reads this blog. And finally to top it off, has proposed an amendment to the text TF2 from a my message!

Technically there, but here is a false friend . Caritas awesome to protect confidential data.


With the stupidity that characterizes me, I forgot to save the first half of the conversation, so I wont be able to quote from this part. However, I think I remember what's important. The second part without the guard, luckily.

He explained that there is no longer a translator "official" Steam or their games. Today, everything is done from here . It's kind of the only beta can be accessed by invitation (come on, you forget about me in), in which a group of volunteer translators are responsible for translating all of the steam into all languages \u200b\u200b(including pirate, arr ...), pooling their ideas, then send the translated lines of code for approval (however, I did not say who approves them.) This partly explains the chaos in the text file of the current translation. The translators simply translate the lines of code, but apparently not to them to add to the above file.

few days ago, I began to modify that file to make my own version of TF2 translation, completing what is missing and correcting what I think are mistakes. Obviously, this topic came up in conversation, and he seemed interested in some of my ideas.

For example, it so happened that he proposed as a translation for the hat " Amber's Rad Hat As All Hell," "divine Hat Amber's death." I invented for my version "pimp hat-of-balls Amber." As you can see, are not so different, and were talking a while how did each one to draw these conclusions. Fascinating, no doubt.

told me the names of other hats (and also weapons Engineer), who have proposed but not yet approved. Are not yet final, but perhaps you please to write down the word "Outlaw" and "manipulated." You could see them very soon in your inventory.

congratulated me a name I invented for the Gentleman's Gatsby. I called "golfer's beret." Someone proposed "First Golfer", but apparently have adopted "gentleman cap, going off on a tangent (*). I also praised them for my former occurrences , The King of Hostias , The Stalker and The Rompetechos .

was inevitable to ask for his opinion about the Backburner or Dragon.

HIM: "Well, they wanted to go off on tangent putting a stage name, when they do not like are the ones to take us creative license. If something is so in the original language, however little we like it, you have to translate what closely as possible, whether we like it or not. You can afford a pun on the achievements and even weapons, but retaining some relationship to the original. My 2 cents. [...] Of course it is wrong to speak of take creative license when I'm king of the 'translations on a tangent', but I always try not to go through the hills of Ubeda. "
ME: "So, we agree that the Dragon is not an accurate name. "
HIM:" Nope. "
ME:" But I ... Two years? I do not know, since I first saw this gun and I can not think of a better name. "
HIM:" Why not the classic Quemaespaldas? It sounds ridiculous, but TF2 itself is ridiculous, and English is. "
ME:" Right, it sounds weird ... a translation ... Google. "
HIM:" Hahaha. I guess that's what they thought. "


For Christian friend request, I asked about Badge Gigolo.

HIM:" Well, dunno. [...] Once you are published changes is not known who translated it. I guess to preserve the identity of Google Translator, digooo ... the translator. "
ME:" xD "


talked about a couple of things more, but I think not much relevant to this blog, so I say goodbye to another great news! destraducidas weapons are back in Castilian! Hooray

Until next


------------------ * Update: I made a small mistake. The Gentleman's translation for the Gatsby still has been approved, according to the translator has told me this afternoon after reading the post. The Golfer beret still has a chance!

Windows Live Messenger, making life easier for everyone ... users except

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. This entry will be brief, since I only give advice. I could write more paragraphs and paragraphs about why I do not like the latest updates it has received Windows Live Messenger (basically, they have become a Féisbuc of those), but I prefer ahorrármelo. I already pretty pissed when I give birth to fool the new tf2 translator. Now, quickly, will point a little something about Messenger and give advice to those who useis.

are already many contacts in my list that I see with your real name in the nick (or at least the name with which registered your account.) This happens since the last update of Hotmail, which keeps conversations from the same browser. Will agree with me that has not calved big bullshit from the "No, I'm over 18" (minus button down on the internet).

After having studied in depth for a while, the Institute of No-We-Nothing-Better-Than-Do, consisting of an elf and I have concluded that the nickname is changed automatically when you start Hotmail (commonly, the check my mail).

is quite annoying (at least for me) to change the nick every now and then. But fear not! There is a way that does not return to change. It is so simple that even an elf and I could have discovered. Wait, I did!

simply have to click on your name (top right) to open a menu, which seleccionaréis "Log in to Messenger." Do not worry, you will close the current conversation with your favorite Choni. The only thing is gettin help feeling those pesky nickname changes and these mini-windows Hotmail conversation.


Click image for larger view, you have to explain everything!


If by some chance, You are short of mind feel nostalgia for this absurd choice and desire again to activate it, just have to click on your name again and select "Log on to Messenger."

I hope you find this information useful. Until next time!

Finalize My Canon Dc320 Disc



In recent months I was "hard of hearing" very busy. Namely ... Item 1


After 23 years of street, traffic and driving, I have finally have a car to my name (which is not exactly my car ... but no matter), and hurried to make the procedure for exemption patent and glue on the windshield the grand prize: the wafer magical "free traffic and parking." The

process was simple but losing two mornings meant, of course, an office where everyone, even employees with disabilities.
This means no privileges. Nothing happens before the lame and the blind are focusing. And, of course, friends half an hour with several specimens and their prostheses and talk with common denominator now ... Horns where we park?
I dream of leaving the car in the middle of July 9 ... to get it onto the sidewalk where I please ... to forget the difference between street and street right or left hand, above all, I find myself face to face with the damn crane and send them to putaquelosparió (mostly because I have been the car 2 times 2 in recent months.)

But even dream of abusing the system, my conscience tells me it's wrong to abuse the system. I am therefore in full investigation on what the real rights that belong to me and this is what I've gathered so far: parking rules the same for everyone. The wafer allows you to park in the right places to ... cars wafer. What living. Strictly forbidden forbidden that your car will be towed. Suck this tangerine! And not much else. If you arrive fine, excursarte against the judge: "I did not hear you could not park there."

wafer theme took me finally had a fear that The usual: on my driving record does not say that headphone use hard of hearing or any other particular sign. Given that the last time I renewed my registration warned the issue and they said "it did not matter," I was always the question yes or no ...
This time, then, I thought maybe I bounced the processing of the wafer not bear the stigma entered in the record. And no ... nothing happened. Nothing. Or moo. Peep. Ni ni. And I finally realized. Using or not using headset is a decision that affects everyone in the act of driving. Even it would be logical to think that a person hard of hearing to remove the headset to handle without being bombarded by the noise of the street. Item 2


I changing my headset or do not change my aid? Three years ago, the switch from analog to digital was a little traumatic (sounds varied enough) and therefore opted for a headset "light." Only six channels of sound, three manuals and the only programs added telecoil.
Time passed. I got used. And now I feel I could take the next step. A headset with more features. More channels of sound. Chiches number. Automatic programs. Two microphones. Room service. A more powerful instrument and I offer superior sound clarity and, above all, better recognition of voices in a noisy environment. A miracle. Therefore
back to where I have always made hearing aids for him.

And ... not find it. The speech therapist said that for someone who has his whole life with intras, the retro is not always a solution. And what had intra was ... more of the same. Yes, two microphones. Yes, more channels. But the same sound and power.
Finally I decided to recalibrate my (dumb dumb dumb, I still think in analog, had forgotten that digital hearing aids can be recalibrated so that seems another hearing, you have another sound, more or less power, up and down each side of sound, change programs) and I think he won a couple more years of life.

Now it bothers me and is very strong. What does he do that tu-tu? What rings out there? Sounds that were not displayed before. Damn! The phone rings! How wonderful! ¿Can you please shut up?? I force myself to get used to because I know it will be best for me even to pass through the stage of "can not stand your voice."

I'm sure in a couple of years yes ... there will be a better hearing. One that matches every outfit every day. That communicates wirelessly with the butcher or the greengrocer, who has a little button to tell me How many degrees does and if it rains, I amplified the compliments and insults me cancel. A headset to listen to me and then I made a summary of the conversation. While still waiting

freely use the crowded city, I leave my car where no one can, step by free cash from the supermarket and I go to the zoo for free.
my God ... I think I'm starting to enjoy my deafness. Or at least abused. Not bad.
