Languishing blog
Once
upon a time the English Cemetery was a lively multilingual blog in
three languages... Lately, it's just two languages, and it languishes in
Basque the same way as in English.
There
are some reasons for this. Well, in my work at CodeSyntax, I was more
focused on l10n and i18n issues... Then we launched Tagzania which was
an international effort, and I also collaborated with Nestoria, a
London-based project. From
those viewpoints I had more things to say, and I felt more compelled to
comment things, to do marketing as well (why not?). Nowadays, my
working hours in CodeSyntax are not so devoted to l10n, the Tagzania
team is doing well although I'm not in that taskforce and I see Nestoria
from a distance (they keep internationalising, and I am glad to know
that they have launched their real estate search machinery in France!).
Then,
there's also the Twitter / Facebook thing that has affected many
bloggers' posting habits, and also some twists of life that have put me
on a rather silent mode.
I
could still post about big international news about the Basques, but my
political views are rather skeptical lately, and well, I rather comment
miscelaneous bits than the other serious issues.
We'll
see, there are some projects around at the company right now, and maybe
one of those will involve l10n/i18n aspects, or hopefully have
international projection. If that's the case, posts may be spotted here
again. I hope to see the blossoming happen before spring, really.
