  1. A translation I "authored" was featured in the Wall Street Journal not long ago. The novelty still hasn't worn off. http://is.gd/1ibYa #xl8
  2. His eyelids slowly parted. Waves of joyous grief pulsed under his claret-speckled labcoat. In the distance, a blade met concrete. #confic
  3. The revolution will not be televised. #iranelection
  4. 2nd #barefoot run last night. Wet grass is like running on cloud after the road. I don't stretch either. Time will tell how wise this is.
  5. Btw, Bilingual Joe is offering "quality, free translation", not "quality free translation", of course ;) #xl8
  6. @pikorua D'oh, too late to mod it now. You're on to something there :D
  7. Quality, free crowdsourced translations now available at Bilingual Joe's Translation store: http://bilingualjoes.blogsp... #xl8
  8. #linkedinfail I joined the linkedin group against themselves asking pro-translators to work for free alongside non-professionals. Disagree.
  9. Who bares wins; just did my first #barefoot run. Not far, but a start.
  10. The twitter comedy gig was a brilliant idea. Don't want to spam the tag so search: tcgig tag for laughs.
  11. @nj_linguist Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't the point to get rid of the paper trail? Digi-trails, ie. IP logs, aren't acceptable?
  12. @disimulando Part of me thinks it's about raw persistence. Charm comes w/experience. I try to remember that folks r @ work, they expect it.
  13. Last tweet on #EU voting being electronic in the near future; examples of e-voting from the 'pedia: http://is.gd/O8TG [wiki]
  14. @disimulando That's Brian *Tracy*, US sales guru. Anybody got any direct sales tips for targeting direct clients? #xl8
  15. @disimulando I've tried targeting companies. I was pretty bad at sales. Spoke to salesfolk & listened to Brian Tracey. Still no better. #xl8
  16. @angeldominguez An identifier + private PGP key + app that records entries shouldn't need recounting. I showed no ID today when voting...
  17. @petergarner @Vinceyfr Some kind of PGP encryption system would surely be reliable with a little investment. I'm for increased turnout. #EU
  18. Voted in the #EU elections. On a piece of paper. With a pencil. Why are we still voting 60s style? Secure online voting should be priority.
  19. @fivepoundfringe What a great idea to have a load of affordable shows! Enjoyed the concept in Leicester, good luck for the festival :D
  20. @NTceline @ilarytranslates Great tales of translator destiny. Yet when I speak to my 3 y/o nephew in FR he asks me to use "real words" #xl8
