The Piano & the Guitar

It is a great and relaxing surprise to go down to the Video Room and find Matt and Hanna playing the guitar and the piano. The best way to have a quick peek at your e-mail near this source of live piano classical music or more modern guitar music accompained by the singing of Matt and Clint.


Hanna calms down the geeky hordes

Wasting translation energy

Sitting with mako in the auditorium, I decided I'm going to waste the little translation energy I've gathered in the last 3 months to translate a window manager, ion3, I will never use, only to get mako to use it in Catalan. Of course, Mako doesn't speak a word of Catalan (except for common phrases like "Ara mes que mai un sol crit nos fara recuperar la dignitat. ¡¡LLENGUA VALENCIANA MAI CATALANA!!"¹), so my only purpose is quite stupid after all.

I need to decide if I write correct Catalan, or use the Blaverian variant instead. Doing the latter would be even more stupid.

¹ For my Catalan friends in Softcatalà, don't be scared: most of the Debconf people like jvw shouting "CACALA... NO" do know about the real situation. Don't think I'm producing a blavero movement outside València!
