A long day...
Jan. 6th, 2011 10:52 pmI actually woke up at around 3:30 am and then tossed and turned until 5:30, when I got out of bed.
My total French words translated to date this year is about to get walloped by a Russian document I was assigned late in the day, with the encouragement that "if I could extract it from the database, it was mine." The document in question is a Russian state standard, 31 pages in length, and while it's available for free from a number of sources on the Runet, typically the pages are low-resolution, a pain in the butt to read, and even more of a pain to OCR. Still, I managed not only to download 31 GIF files, but also to find a PDF of the whole thing, so I ought to be in pretty good shape to do the work (all roughly 13,000 words of it).
And to those who celebrate Christmas 'round about now: Поздравляю Вас с Рождеством! Пусть любовь, доброта, благополучия, счастья, здоровья, и чуткие друзья будут Вашими спутниками в этом году!
Cheers...
