Cue the 'Twilight Zone' music...

While in the "disambiguation" phase of despeckling the latest translation, it occurred to me—as the numerical references to standards (e.g., GOST 23345-86) in the sentence I was looking at jumped out at me for some reason—that I ought to perhaps go through the text and make sure they had been properly rendered.

Then I noticed that both such references in the sentence I was looking at were—wrong!

It turns out the two references in that sentence were the only two incorrectly rendered standards in the entire document!

Sometimes, I think there's someone else in here with me. ;^)

Cheers...

A pleasant surprise...

I don't know why, but I spent most of the day thinking it was Thursday.

I was most pleasantly surprised to learn it was only Wednesday.

Galina and I went out for lunch to celebrate. (Not! At least, that wasn't the reason. ;^)

I'm trying out Quora, but having a hard time getting the site's pulse. It would appear people get to ask questions that either (a) can be answered with rudimentary search-engine-fu skills, (b) require a heck of a lot of research or long answers, or (c) are a little on the stupid side. Maybe it's the melding of the Q&A with social networking, I don't know.

Then again, I still don't quite "get" Twitter, either.

Cheers...
