(Português) E aí? Dá para viver de tradução?

(Português) Perdi a conta de quantas vezes já vi esta pergunta: "dá pra viver de tradução?" Dar, dá. Temos colegas que se sustentam exclusivamente com traduções há décadas. Mas posso dizer, com toda certeza, chegar lá nem sempre é fácil nem rápido.

memoQfest 2012

Val Ivonica — Wed, 09 May 2012 12:00:46 +0000

Once again I wish I were in Budapest… and once again I couldn’t make it. But I won’t give up on the idea!
Meanwhile, what about we check what’s going on over there? Kilgray people planned video broadcast of (at least some of the) presentations, and the attendees will certainly tweet a lot.

Tweets vanish from the timeline in a couple of days, so I created a PDF file with all tweets posted using the #memoQfest hashtag.

The new Delicious

Val Ivonica — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 12:12:51 +0000

Delicious finally completed that transition they’ve been announcing (I had already mentioned it here). Layout changed a little, and it seems that Firefox plugin is not working anymore. Popup windows opens, everything seems normal, but plugin doesn’t send the data to their website.
For now, we have the option of using their bookmarklet until a new plugin is released (I bet it won’t take long). Login to the website, click the “My stacks” tab and drag Delicious button to your browser toolbar.

You’ll have something like this:

Now, click the button when you want to add a link to your Delicious account.

Here’s a copy of Delicious button:

New Delicious has also a new functionality, “Stacks”, which seems to be similar to the “bundles” from the old version.

I hope Delicious continues working well. I rely on it to keep all my glossary links.

Update (oct 06, 2011):

Delicious plugin is working fine in Firefox. You just have to clean browser cache and history and everything goes back to normal.

First of all, I apologize for taking so long to post the links. Too much work, too little time.

Twitter feed – 7th IMTT Language & Technology Conference

Val Ivonica — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 18:32:04 +0000

The conference in Cordoba was a success! Great presentations, several networking opportunities, tons of info. I still was not able to write about the event, not even to publish the links I mentioned during my presentation (I promised, I know, will handle this during the weekend) but I couldn’t take too long to gather the messages otherwise info could be lost.

The best way of reading them is chronologically, from the bottom up.

I’m also gathering pictures of the event. Do you have any? Please let me know!
