PDP 11s? VAX? Now *that's* really old. I'm not into inventing anything
(yet) so I don't have much to proclaim (but yes, I do some devel for
free sw I'm interested in, like many do). Nice quote, but its
overused. I like 'The Future Is Free' by Sergio Amadeu better, hehe ;)

Perhaps you might want to do some gettext work. I've still some work
to do wrt filipino/tagalog .po's, so I'm asking *everybody* to
contribute. Perhaps some people might be also interested in sending in
po's in their native dialect (Bicol, Ilonggo, Ilokano, Pangasinense,
etc.) just as I've said in an earlier thread. I know this is _small_
project in comparison to the major l10n/i18n incorporations in Gnome
and KDE, but I think that's exactly what *we* need... Indeed there
will be others who think of the whole thing as an exercise in
futility, but I'm a firm believer of cultural identity and our
obligation to preserve it.

Niec... oops, that should be Nice ;) indeed, there shouldn't be any
discrimination, that's way too out... but a little improvement in p's
and q's would help a loooong way in getting across :D

It's _gtklp_, btw. Sarge probably will have 0.9s, unless Tobias
decides to change the GTK2 File widget and add more po-files.

And thanks for the advice about being a _kook_. Actually, I do _cook_
a lot, it actually is part of how I earn my living (aside from
teaching). So I guess there is a link between culinary and techie
hacks...

Cheers,
Zakame
