ASCII : In-House Translators - A Dying Breed
http://www.aldridge.de/tag/ascii
In-House Translators - A Dying Breed. About “the third”. My home on the web - featuring my real-life persona! Fun with character encodings. What do ASCII, ANSI, Latin-1, Windows-1252, Unicode and UTF have in common? We have a little update tool for an application that is written in Java. Java programs usually have their strings in .properties. Files Those files are usually encoded in the 8-bit characters of ISO 8859-1. Which is part of the Okapi Framework. It has a handy Encoding Conversion Utility.

Driving : In-House Translators - A Dying Breed

In-House Translators - A Dying Breed. About “the third”. My home on the web - featuring my real-life persona! Something funny happened on my way to work…. I was swearing up a storm about some idiot dump truck driver who didn’t fasten his load properly! Thank God nothing happened! And in case someone is wondering why it got a little quiet around here, I am really busy with my ASP.NET class. Seems like this is the first class at Davenport that is challenging enough to keep me from blogging! We offer profes...

Agency : In-House Translators - A Dying Breed
http://www.aldridge.de/tag/agency
In-House Translators - A Dying Breed. About “the third”. My home on the web - featuring my real-life persona! Cold callers asking for call-back. I am receiving an unsolicited call from a translation agency which I have never done business with. The name appeared on the caller ID so I didn’t pick up. The caller left a message, asking me to call him back. Is this normal? Why would I want to call him back? Usually, cold callers will just try again, but not ask you to call them.

In-House Translators - A Dying Breed. About “the third”. My home on the web - featuring my real-life persona! Unfortunately, I cannot even be too mad. If I look back at my own time at university, I am pretty sure a returning adult student would have been just as impatient. Well, we’ll see what happens tonight. March 16, 2009 Filed Under Personal.

2010 July : In-House Translators - A Dying Breed
http://www.aldridge.de/2010/07
In-House Translators - A Dying Breed. About “the third”. My home on the web - featuring my real-life persona! Normal, Light, Minimum. I am translating some device strings, and sometimes you run into strings that just seem so wrong. Right now, I am working on a device that triggers a measurement when a user presses down on the measurement head. The user can select how much pressure has to be put on the device, and the options are Normal, Light and Minimum. July 28, 2010 Filed Under Work. Where in the World.

In-House Translators - A Dying Breed. About “the third”. My home on the web - featuring my real-life persona! Best week ever…. Sometimes, everything seems to just fall into place. This was one of those weeks where it seemed like everything was just working out for me! By Friday noon I was so giddy I could hardly sit still. This is what happened…. I had to hand in phase 3 of my final project for CISP314 and I believe I created a pretty awesome website layout. After I felt like I coasted through much of my...

In-House Translators - A Dying Breed. About “the third”. My home on the web - featuring my real-life persona! Stop the cross selling/up selling. I am honestly so fed up with this. Everywhere I go, people are trying to cross-sell me stuff I don’t want or up-sell some more expensive stuff. My last visit to the mall…. If my coupon wasn’t expiring that day I would have just told her where she can put the shirt and that I am not buying anything at all. May 13, 2009 Filed Under Personal. And yeah, that’s...
