Posting from Word
I just discovered a new feature of blogger, I can post from my good old Microsoft Word! That sounds nice, since I have it in front of me all the time (because of the translation process that I just mentioned). Now that’s another test drive, if I can manage to create a decent post from here. If I succeed, I can do it more often. Let’s see…
Translating a book
I was happily translating a book from German for one month already, and grew a bit too many feelings for the main character, I guess.
Now he is stuck in a middle-age inquisition dungeon, bearing different kinds of tortures, and guess what? I have to re-create every single detail, I cannot just skip the brutal scenes as I would if I were just reading it... sob... it breaks my heart, you know...
I hope the poor guy manages to get out without permanent damage. (I don't know yet, because I try not to read any further than the very page I'm translating, not to kill all the curiosity and fun.)

test drive
Well, let's see if I'll find something to post now and then. For now, I have to go back to my calculations for the graduation thesis, so come back in a couple of days...
