I'm curious too now..

Those old university photos might just come back to haunt you now...but hey, you needed the money, right?

He does it for free
(I've fixed the smilies btw so you don't need to use the image url)

Really?

Oh my God, he did fix it. For years, I've wanted to use the first one. But it has never worked properly, always changing into the second one even though the text code was different. My posts will never be the same!

It was annoying to fix too. There's still a bug deeper down in the system but I was able to change things around to get them to work.
(Just don't use them off the "View more smilies" pop up)

That's rad. Before I would just use the hyperlink directly to the smiley in an IMG tag.

I have an electronics learning lab kit. I build the circuits using the step-by-step instruction but I don't feel I really understand and appreciate what's going on. Can someone give me some tips?

Whatever you do, for everybody here, DO NOT REPLY TO GALVAMEGS.

That's not very nice! unless you have good reason for such a warning.

I tried nice, I did, what was I met with? An onslaught of by far the most perfected trolling and stupidity I've ever encountered. So I do have reason, and that reason is because, he's Duragrip, back from the dead.

So basically, if you reply to him, he'll not read it, or if he does, he'll miscomprehend it, either on purpose or otherwise. I've seen how this goes. And it goes to pretty much hell.

Don't misunderstand....I wasn't trying to be nasty, just didn't understand your warning about the guy, but obviously now that it has been explained, it was quite rightly warranted.

& thanks for letting us know

Back on topic now please.

Ah right, thank you

Interesting occupation


Btw that Primeval isn't the same thing as the UK tv show with dinosaurs in it is it?

Coz when it said at Dinosaur Adventures, that's what made me think of that

Nope, similar name, but not same thing. Just a series of coincidences!

Translation studies, specifically Literary Translation.

My thesis in particular was a critical manual on comics translation from Italian to English, focusing on the difficulties of multicultural/lingual references, sociolinguistic perceptions of language varieties, interaction between text and image (considered as both parts of a 'language') and humour in two different cultures/settings.

And it allowed me to teach English Literature and Translation to first years at university, plus attend conferences as a speaker, and publish articles and stuff. I got funding, too!
