Ha! Mine doesn't translate from Russian. It would have been fool-proof if I had thought to use German or something else, because it doesn't translate back from Norwegian either.

I tried that when IMing Artanis a few days ago. It worked until I said I was using a translator, then she started "laughing" (LOLing) because my "translator makes funny sentences."
I've proven that to myself. I took someone's sig one here, tanslated it back and forth from English to Italian and back again several times, and it made no sense at all...very funny indeed.

Linaewen · 10-01-2005, 06:12 PM

I use Babel Fish or Free translation
Yes, generally those translators are appalling, even if you only want to get the gist of something. I don't think I've ever seen a translation that was actually a flawless English sentence, except maybe the really good Indonesian one I use.
Hehe, playing around with Babelfish. It doesn't translate 'weiÃŸ' as 'know', only 'white' so it keeps saying 'I white it not' for 'Ich weiÃŸ nicht'

Is that a challenge?

Lotesse · 10-01-2005, 10:15 PM

trolls' bane, what's with this obsession with chess!! How would you play chess with someone online anyway, preciousss? Is there an interactive chess-site one can link to?

Anybody want a snack? I just popped in 4 a minute or two, but it looks like I'm here when everyone else seems to be out. trolls' bane, you here? Look, I brought you something! And I brought Godiva chocolates for everybody; save some 4 Earniel in case she comes by because I know she'll want some.

Well, I'm not going to say that it's my theme movie, nor that I like that one much, but I guess the ray-guns are like they are in real life

.

I'm not obsessed with chess! I just want to play! Okay fine, anyone want to play Blackjack? Checkers? Well, that's all I know how to play.
Yes, there is an interactive chess-thing. It's unfortuneately called yahoo games.

Lotesse · 10-02-2005, 01:44 PM

Good Sunday 2 you all this morning! I found this beautiful painting when I was googling "wraith," and I wanted to show you guys 'cause it's so interesting...

littleadanel · 10-02-2005, 01:55 PM

*gasp* That is an awesome pic!

Sadly, Sunday here is drawing to an end

And I just can't understand why, but a sea-longing is upon me

Maybe because I found holiday pics while I was putting things away this morning. Aww. How I loved Bulgaria when we spent a week there in the summer of '04. And Croatia in '03. How I enjoyed the sea...

Lotesse · 10-02-2005, 02:16 PM

Bulgaria - so that must have been the Black Sea. My boyfriend (and others I know who've been there or lived near there) says it is incomparably beautiful, the Black Sea beaches...

trolls' bane · 10-02-2005, 02:24 PM

To hell with orthodox newspeak!

Doublepluscool!

ElemmÃrÃ« · 10-02-2005, 02:29 PM

What a gorgeous picture.

I need to get to Europe one of these days.

littleadanel · 10-02-2005, 02:34 PM

Yeah, it was sooo beautiful

thanx for the pic Lotesse.

Aww, how I loved to be there. We were in Varna, and Nesebar. Though it was raining for 3 days, and my bro & me were sick for 2 days, it was worth going there. (We just recovered by the time the sunny weather came back

)

Lotesse · 10-02-2005, 02:38 PM

Hi, trolls' bane and ElemmÃ*rÃ«! and little adanel's here,too! You guys wanna help yourself to the Sunday brunch buffet I set up over on the Teacup patio, and have a soak in the hot tub if you feel like it, or a plunge in the pool; it's a gorgeous day in Entmootland today! Remember what the new Teacup patio looks like, the SkyBar redesign?

I'm popping over to Tharbad 4 a few minutes, to write in some new stuff for my RPG - have a good one!

littleadanel · 10-02-2005, 02:59 PM

I really hoped it would be a great 'moot-day, it is cloudy and cold here

So, I think I choose the pool! Whee! *jumps in*

Edit: I'll be off for a coupla minutes... my bro wants his computer. But dad will finish using the other one very soon (I hope). So I'll come back

AndÃºril · 10-02-2005, 05:09 PM

littleadanel · 10-02-2005, 05:17 PM

It's unlikely that I'll be capable of intelligent posting tonight... Time zones.

*yaawn* So I'm off. See ya another day/night

rohirrim TR · 10-02-2005, 05:19 PM

wish i was as good a photographer as you BTW you've probably been asked this but, what kind of camera do you have?

Thanks. It's a Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z10. Nothing fancy at all, really. Not DSLR, no image stabilizer, only 3MP, etc etc. A relatively inexpensive camera, but great value.

Heh, I was out taking pics from 4pm until 9:30pm. Had to hike up a mountain to get to that waterfall, but there wasn't enough water and there was too much light. That beach was at the bottom of the mountain, so I went for another walk and ended up having Chinese while watching the sunset.

**Nurvingiel** · 10-02-2005, 07:32 PM

You know what's kind of funny? Apparently, I was a judge in Grey Wolf's "So U think U can post" competition. Thank you Grey Wolf, for your confidence. Unfortunately, I only saw the thread seconds before the mighty padlock descended from the sky.

trolls' bane · 10-02-2005, 11:20 PM

Oh my god! It was closed!

Anduril, I say again, you should subscribe to a photography magazine and submit pictures.

In fact, get a website! Freewebs is great for starting with! Of course, it has www.freewebs.com/site name (that's not a real site as far as I know

), but I think by subscribing to premium or getting a domain will get rid of the "freewebs." But I don't mind having the freewebs, just keep the site name short.
Here's the freewebs website: www.freewebs.com.
It has a picture uploader-thing, too. They are such a great server--I've lost count of my websites with them (they're all free--with premium, you don't get much more), but I forgot most of them anyway.
