Good morning (or whatever!), Morgen, おはようございます, Доброе завтра* everyone :)
I'm sorry I could not reply before, especially to those early-rising people who were posting here hours after the new year had come -- I must confess I'm not into heavy partying anymore, so I went to bed like at 00:30 to have the energy to spend the next whole day with my family. Then I was under a major migraine attack throughout most of yesterday, so I've been able to post maybe 5 messages in 2013 so far... I hadn't even subscribed to everyone's log yet (I'm just finished with that) and I had ~50 notifications of different thread updates here, so I started today wondering what I had let myself into, for indeed some people have a 10+ pages long log that was started on January 1st! I really hope not everyone will make me wade through 10 pages of stuff (50 x 10? Ugh!) so I actually have time to study, join Skype sessions, ask you for help, help you out, etc., etc. After some checking turns out it's seemingly (and fortunately!) not the general case, but it's still an awful lot of stuff to keep up with, so I hope you'll all excuse me if it still takes me a while to drop by and say hello in your logs. For all who have done precisely that here so far, tarvos, Jack, riff, zecchino, Dagane, ancpem, Expugnator, wort, fabricio, Kerrie, toffeeliz -- thanks a lot. I wish you a happy new year too, and luck with your studies -- may you be so lucky you don't even need any luck at all! ;) * I know it's "Доброе утро" -- утро/завтра translate to the same Spanish word so it's kind of a running joke with my Russian buddies...

Hopefully by the end of the year I might be capable of understanding half of your joke. And if Cristina convinces me to learn Russian next year, I might eventually be able to understand the other half.
This migraine/headache thing seems to be going around. Cristina had one too. I don't have a migraine, but I've had a bad headache and I don't feel so well. Maybe I caught it from one of you. Computer virus perhaps? :D 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yep, a really contagious one that makes you spend a couple of days with people you don't see the rest of the year, and then the headache comes as a necessary side effect :D
Edit: Jokes don't have to be too intelligent to be funny, most of the time half the job is just being there. Imagine somebody greeting you with 'good tomorrow' instead of 'morning'. May sound just stupid to people with headaches ;) Edited by mrwarper on 03 January 2013 at 6:11pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Buenas mañanas mrwarper!
I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on theory and practice, and the paradox of the active user was unknown to me, but well worth considering from all sorts of perspectives. Don't think I'll have any time for Japanese this year but I'll gladly follow you along on your German and Russian explorations. And maybe I'll read a novel in Spanish in your honor. It does happen once a year or so, though I make no claims on actually speaking Spanish. Be brave and try your luck in Germany! After all, doesn't a lot of Germans move to Spain (zum Mindesten die Rentner)? //aloysius 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I would suggest filtering all your HTLAL mail to go into its own email folder. When you get to it, you can sort by subject, and it's a lot easier to "get through" a lot of it that way. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

How does my iPhone fit into this "paradox of the active user?" It doesn't come even with a manual, and the one on the internet doesn't tell me much of anything. I still haven't figured out why iTunes tells me it can't find things which are sitting right there. They're there in the iTunes library and I can play them in iTunes, I just can't put them on my iPhone.
Cristina: I will start dabbling after a while. You're welcome to do anything you want to influence me. I think Russian is probably one of the languages they have materials for at the library, so it probably won't take too much coaxing. 1 person has voted this message useful |
